  1. Do Not Compare COVID-19 (Coronavirus) To Seasonal Influenza

    myoglobin replied to 42pines's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I believe that the above analysis may overstate the fatality rate. Consider Johns Hopkins figures that are updated daily...

  2. HR wants meeting or report me to BON

    myoglobin replied to AbbeyR's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You could go as far as asking your attorney if a "forensic audit" to help establish that you were not selling any drugs would be in your benefit. However, that is probably something that would cost...

  3. HR wants meeting or report me to BON

    myoglobin replied to AbbeyR's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Let's not forget that the system keeps getting harder for nurses and more ripe for error. So when I first started as an ICU nurse it was a matter of "signing in the Pixus and getting the drug" and...

  4. HR wants meeting or report me to BON

    myoglobin replied to AbbeyR's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I would also talk to your attorney about sending a letter to the hospital to the effect of "Please note that I will aggressively protect my reputation. I have acted with nothing less than...

  5. Any Psych Nurse Practitioner's out there?

    myoglobin replied to HealingThoughts's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Most do not. It is probably a compensating factor in a borderline admissions scenario but the emphasis will be grades, and GRE (if they require a GRE score). Also there are plenty of jobs in places...

  6. Is it an ethical violation to quit a job before you start?

    myoglobin posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I will try to be as succinct as possible: a. I accepted a once per week job doing PRN disability exams on Sunday's. I signed a contract as a 1099 worker that did not specify any damages for breech,...

  7. Is it an ethical violation to quit a job before you start?

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The 4th job would replace the other two it would thus be my second job. I thought that since I was moving across the United States with no friends, family or credit that I at least should have...

  8. Is it an ethical violation to quit a job before you start?

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I worry about being able to do well on the exams as well which is why I tried to quit the job over a week ago. It would have been one thing to have done the exams when I was only working three 10’s...

  9. Is it an ethical violation to quit a job before you start?

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Very simply I was rather shocked when Pontum threatened my license on an ethical basis for wanting to pull out of the disability exams. Shocked to the point where I basically told them “I disagree,...

  10. Is it an ethical violation to quit a job before you start?

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have been a member here for almost ten years and my posts while not perfect stand for themselves. Yes, I am a new NP, but I've been an ICU RN for over a decade. Also, I think I've been clear, I owe...

  11. Is it an ethical violation to quit a job before you start?

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I appreciate your perspective but would encourage you to consider that there are multiple perspectives as well that may be valid. I would ask that you consider that there are multiple paths to...

  12. Is it an ethical violation to quit a job before you start?

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I’m not sure about the greed part. I just want to be able to take my time with patients and focus on the lifestyle and CAM aporoaches that many MD’s would never let me emphasize. If I make enough...

  13. Is it an ethical violation to quit a job before you start?

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Except that I am so busy and overwhelmed that I probably wouldn’t even file an answer or show up and they would win a default judgement. Also keep in mind these are psych only exams I literally...

  14. Is it an ethical violation to quit a job before you start?

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    1. Good advice and I did consult with my SO before taking this job. In fact she is in the process of leaving a 1099 tele health job to work for the same company(they never did offer her a bonus even...

  15. Is it an ethical violation to quit a job before you start?

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree that most if not all of my financial situation is the result of choices. However, that is precisely why I moved across the United States to live by myself in an Airbnb bedroom and will work...

  16. Is it an ethical violation to quit a job before you start?

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Of the four companies that I talked to in the Seattle area all of them had arrangements very similar to the one I went with (about $1000-1500 in fees plus 600-800 per month). Now one that I found...

  17. HR wants meeting or report me to BON

    myoglobin replied to AbbeyR's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Also in the future it may help to have a strict policy of always having waste witnessed before giving a med. Personally, it wouldn’t matter if my dying mother were screaming in pain the waste gets...

  18. Is it an ethical violation to quit a job before you start?

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The job that I want to keep originally offered the bonus when I talked to the owner, but withdrew the offer at the time of the contract signing. It is still a great company and a good deal it’s just...

    Those are really good resources. Sincere

  20. HR wants meeting or report me to BON

    myoglobin replied to AbbeyR's topic in Nurses Recovery

    So all of you out there who are always saying "I don't need a union". How do you feel about that sentiment in light of situationslike this? In a union facility not only would her representative have...

  21. Is it an ethical violation to quit a job before you start?

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Except that the company indicated that if I did not complete the shifts I signed up for that they would not only sue for breech of contract but also file ethical complaints with the BON against my...

  22. Two bills die in committee in Florida that would have given NP's independent practice.

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There is a largely "invisible battle" waged both at the federal and in every individual state between the medical lobby (think AMA and there supporters) and the NP's (think AANP and there supporters)....

  23. Two bills die in committee in Florida that would have given NP's independent practice.

    myoglobin posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This happened despite that fact that both passed on the floor by comfortable margins. I believe they were SB 972 and HB 821. So what could be done to improve prospects next year of passing in...

  24. Is it an ethical violation to quit a job before you start?

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It hurt when she said that "I didn't care about her". I guess because I do, but restarting her on something that even she acknowledged had "helped mess her up" would make me part of the problem...

  25. Is it an ethical violation to quit a job before you start?

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I did talk to several of their NP's earning well over 200K who told me they were "full" within 90 days of employment (on their schedule). Most of the practices in the Washington area either pay...
