  1. Chemical Castration Condition for Parole in Alabama

    myoglobin replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    Yes, it is important to keep in mind that they are not forced to take these drugs it is a condition of parole. All someone need do is serve out their sentence and they need not take the drugs. These...

  2. #AMAGetOutTheWay: Nurses, Doctors, and Students United

    myoglobin replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    You may in fact be correct, but socialized medicine is a highly contentious issue and when NNU supports it, it undermines the many other issues that unite nurses. It equates a political position ie...

  3. #AMAGetOutTheWay: Nurses, Doctors, and Students United

    myoglobin replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    In the UK you are lucky to get dialysis at 65 let alone transplants. However, access to preventative care is more available, but they pay at least 10% more in income and value added (kind of like...

  4. 265 questions is almost guaranteed if your a male.

    myoglobin replied to wilderness47's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It could be the school’s program, simple random chance, or a correlation among the male students that goes beyond being male (for example they are all English as a second language because of where...

  5. PMHNP prescribing questions

    myoglobin replied to Joebird21's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I look at metformin for 2nd gen antipsychotics much like cogentin for 1 st gen side affects or using propranolol or mirtazapine for akatthesia from Abilify. Side effect

  6. Chemical Castration Condition for Parole in Alabama

    myoglobin replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    Good point, it is part of “parole” so they don’t have to pay for it. I wonder if Medicaid will pay? I’ve cared for a few transsexuals who told me part of their therapy was a aid by

  7. Will there be too many nurses in the near future?

    myoglobin replied to DCubed's topic in General Nursing

    Keep in mind that we have the largest, sickest, longest lived individuals in history brewing. Plus we have record immigration fueling demand for healthcare services. I believe there will be plenty of...

  8. PMHNP prescribing questions

    myoglobin replied to Joebird21's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would say in general that prescribing outside your scope is a bad idea even in an IP state. I could see a case for prescribing an antibiotic for a suspected UTI, but only as a bridge to the PCP....

  9. Will there be too many nurses in the near future?

    myoglobin replied to DCubed's topic in General Nursing

    I get at least two calls per day from someone trying to "sell me" a travel nurse position, and all I did was express an interest to one or two companies maybe six years ago. I think if you are...

  10. 265 questions is almost guaranteed if your a male.

    myoglobin replied to wilderness47's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Can anyone ascertain the male pass rate or average number of questions from the data made public? I can find data for foreign vs US educated, but nothing for male vs

  11. Chemical Castration Condition for Parole in Alabama

    myoglobin replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    I agree they should stay locked up. However there is also evidence that chemical castration reduces (but doesn’t eliminate) recidivism. Therefore, it should at least be an option for those who will...

    myoglobin replied to wilderness47's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That survey by it’s own wording considers institutions where individual variance can occur because of negotiation. Union facilities follow a set formula. Now it might be the case (even at a union...

    myoglobin replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    That’s why I hate NNU endorsing single payer so strongly. Some of us are progressives/ socialists, who may be more inclined to back Sanders or say Biden, while others are conservative, or...

  14. 265 questions is almost guaranteed if your a male.

    myoglobin replied to wilderness47's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Why didn’t you file a grievance? Pay, is set ( at union facilities) by a set formula that looks at years experience, with add on for unit( ex ICU), shift (ex nights and weekends), plus degree and...

  15. Walden University & Regis College PMHNP

    myoglobin replied to JByrnexx's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Check out US News and world report rankings of online Masters and DNP programs. I work with someone at Regis and they like it ok, but it is somewhat expensive at around $800.00/hr. My school USI is...

  16. Why we need unions...or to get out of medicine

    myoglobin replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The problem is that “the terrible places” proliferate and operate at a competitive advantage over the “better” places. For example my hospital’s CEO gets a significant bonus if he can cut...

  17. Why wouldn't this cost of living hack work for California?

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    I only gave him that advice “ don’t date until done with school” because I’m a social butterfly compared to my son who is a wonderful, smart person, but was raised as an only child,...

  18. Why wouldn't this cost of living hack work for California?

    myoglobin posted a topic in General Nursing

    Right now we live in Florida (put aside that I'm in school to be a PMHNP and that my wife currently works from home as one). If we went back to "bedside" why couldn't we live in Vacaville and commute...

    The real question is when will the computer adaptive testing be modified and used also for teaching. We all have unique strengths and weaknesses which could be more precisely addressed with this...

    Also according to some studies women are far less likely to reoffend (less than 1%) and over 50% of the time their crimes were committed with the assistance of a make co-

  21. Why wouldn't this cost of living hack work for California?

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    This concept would probably be most congruent with an IP practice state such as Washington with a long history of supporting NP’s and might work best as the “capstone” to a “NP HMO system”....

  22. Why wouldn't this cost of living hack work for California?

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    I don’t want to control anyone, but I have an obligation to offer my son advice. At the same time I have aspirations which could not only improve my financial situation, but play a role in reshaping...

  24. Vitamin infusions

    Lef.org may have some info on these, however it is strictly alternative outside a rare, severe vitamin deficiency scenario or long term

  25. #AMAGetOutTheWay: Nurses, Doctors, and Students United

    myoglobin replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    This is one of the rare issues where I disagree with NNU. There are of course certain advantages to socialized healthcare, but there are also important disadvantages and it is a contentious political...
