  1. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    myoglobin replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My point was that vaccines have risks and benefits. Because they are new we are uncertain about the risks. Also, the risks of Covid in children is much less than older adults. Hence any risk is less...

  2. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    myoglobin replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My point was that issues such as nutrition, housing density, Vitamin D and Zinc status (an element of nutrition) all have an influence on morbidity and mortality and these elements are different in...

  3. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    myoglobin replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My caution(s) and concerns are aimed more at the United States. The situation in India may be quite different given different housing, nutrition and other situations. However, at least in the United...

  4. Is Nursing Still a Good Profession?

    myoglobin replied to RebeccaB RN BSN's topic in General Nursing

    I would argue that the best thing about nursing as a profession is that it is overall so difficult and even miserable (especially in acute care settings). It's the professional equivalent of working...

  5. Is doing therapy as a psych NP realistic?

    myoglobin replied to Kaelif2015's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree, but just as importantly even the "assembly line" place where I trained in Florida where appointments were only 20 minutes included the therapy add on code with each visit (even as a student I...

  6. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    myoglobin replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Except that the VAERS database offers a basis for believing that sometimes the risk of the vaccine can be a serious or even fatal reaction. At the same time the risk for a young healthy person dying...

  7. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    myoglobin replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I was pointing out that vaccines have risks and benefits. A benefit of taking the vaccine is that you have much less chance of getting a serious case of Covid. However, the risk of serious Covid...

    That is about as relevant as me posting "I wonder if parent endorsing the experimental use of vhttps://www.biospace.com/article/covid-19-in-the-news-heart-inflammation-vaccine-effectiveness-and-more/...

  9. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    myoglobin replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I endorse your right to home educate (that is what we did). If vaccines are effective wouldn't I be the one taking a greater risk by not being vaccinated? Also, with most diseases if you have had the...

  10. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    myoglobin replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Kids are "not required" to get vaccines within a year of birth, but it is advised. That's a key

  11. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    myoglobin replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I am often critical of HCA my former employer. However, at least they always made the influenza shot optional if you chose to wear a mask during flu season (which sucked so I took the shot). I will be...

  12. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    myoglobin replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Again, it is not the same thing. The influenza vaccine is fully tested and not approved under an "emergency provision". Thus, far even the armed forces are not able to be forced to take the vaccine...

  13. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    myoglobin replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The difference is that the influenza vaccine isn't under an "emergency use provision" Already, cases are being filed against employers...

  14. Why is finding preceptors so hard?

    myoglobin replied to Kalibear17's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My preceptor was a psychiatrist. If I had to find a PMHNP I would have been hard pressed. Also, although I would be willing to precept it is not easy given that I only have about 18months experience...

  15. Is doing therapy as a psych NP realistic?

    myoglobin replied to Kaelif2015's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I usually take my whole 30 minutes. I will usually do a PHQ, GAD-7 and an ADHD V1.1 or Yale Brown if relevant. I will spend time reinforcing things like CBT-I, balance exercises (such as those...

  16. Is doing therapy as a psych NP realistic?

    myoglobin replied to Kaelif2015's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Also my "cash rate" is $150.00 for a 30 min medication management appointment and $250.00 for a 90 minute intake. In these situations I also provide therapy but it is "lumped in". About 10% of my...

  18. Why is finding preceptors so hard?

    myoglobin replied to Kalibear17's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I had to find my own preceptor. I used the state "database" of PMHNP's and Psychiatrists and then looked up there places of business. Then I sent personalized letters and called/visited many places....

  19. Why is finding preceptors so hard?

    myoglobin replied to Kalibear17's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    One solution might be to requiring that a PMHNP serve as a preceptor as part of the renewal process (at least once every cycle). Another alternative might be to give a large number of CE's that can be...

  20. Is doing therapy as a psych NP realistic?

    myoglobin replied to Kaelif2015's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I use 90833 which requires at least 16 minutes of therapy. I do 30 minutes appointments. Most of the insurances that I take pay anywhere from $75.00 to $125.00 for this add on code on top of the...

  21. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    myoglobin replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It isn't alarming to me it is revealing. Short of the barrel of a gun I do not believe you will ever get the rate amongst most Americans above about

  22. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    myoglobin replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    If 40% of the people at the CDC and NIH are not taking the vaccine that is prima facia evidence of vaccine

  23. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    myoglobin replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Not that they necessarily have 'private information", but rather if you cannot convince employees of the CDC, and NIH (who are overwhelmingly Democratic voters as well) how do you suppose to convince...

  24. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    myoglobin replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    If you think him such an idiot then you should share my skepticism of vaccines that were "pushed" through many regulatory hurdles at "Warp Speed" at least in part for political benefit (which...

    The vast majority of young people survive covid with no ill effects. Very few would survive jumping out of a plane without a
