  1. Texas BON mental health question. To disclose or not disclose?

    myoglobin replied to Mortaaaay's topic in General Nursing

    I would be inclined to consult with an attorney experienced in medical license issues. If I were inclined to disclose afterwards I would consider ACLU assistance and sue the state of Texas for HIPPA...

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

    myoglobin replied to DCubed's topic in General Nursing

    As I told my son the great thing about nursing is that it is a miserable job in many ways. Because of that there will always be demand "at the bedside" for a stressful, intellectually demanding, back...

  3. PMHNP

    myoglobin replied to yoganurse's topic in Advanced Practice

    The University Of Southern Indiana remains around $400.00 hr. There are a few other national programs at this price point. The problem with many/most of them is that they have a significant "bump" for...

  4. New grad in need of NCLEX studying advice

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

    I did literally nothing other than maybe 50 practice questions and passed with 75 questions in about an hour. Then again that was 2008 and maybe things have changed. I would consider doing every...

  5. Chemical Castration Condition for Parole in Alabama

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

    I think there is good evidence that there is also a sexual drive aspect to molestation. Just consider the enormous amount of pedophilia related Mediaography that is seized each year and the many...

  6. 265 questions is almost guaranteed if your a male.

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

    I meant only that one thing can be a proxy or “placeholder” for something else and that something else may be the deterministic variable that accounts for the difference. I might have said instead...

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

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    I probably could do it without her, but my chances of success would be much less, and I would have to hire someone (like our old unit secretary) to do the organizational stuff. However, as stated...

  8. They Like The Nurse, But Love The Nursing Assistant

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

    Nursing assistants and unit secretaries do so much to improve patient safety, satisfaction, and reduce stress for RN's and MD's that it is impossible to give them adequate credit. Since our ICU did...

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

    myoglobin replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Unions are not the whole answer, but they are certainly part of it. Even in Florida at an HCA hospital the unions at least propelled the hospital to play by "some of the rules some of the time"....

  10. Chemical Castration Condition for Parole in Alabama

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

    I'm not sure about the legalities of this particular case. But, I actually sought Androcur from several MD's as a teenager when I was losing my hair to male pattern baldness. My reasoning was that...

  11. Safety of Indian Health Reservation job?

    myoglobin replied to nurselove757's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes, but in North Dakota the white walkers might be a threat once the long winter returns. Seriously, it is probably much safer. With that said it would not be a bad idea to research the location and...

  12. Lawyer to Look Over Job Offer?

    myoglobin replied to OncRN2015's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It is almost always a good idea to have an attorney look over a contract, preferably one with experience in contract law within your specialty. Usually, it is a couple hundred dollars. Keep in mind...

  13. What To Expect

    myoglobin replied to OHNurse321's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Great advice: a. Admit nothing. b. Get an attorney experienced in medical/nursing license law. Everything, from chain of custody, to possible contamination and false positives may possibly be...

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

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

    Maybe, not now, but don't count it "out" for the future. Consider that the SAT will now include an adversity score which will essentially adjust your SAT score based upon things like the school lunch...

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

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    I came on to this board in this thread specifically to ask about "California cost of living hacks" based in part upon first and experience with a real couple Dave and Patty who have radically improved...

  16. 265 questions is almost guaranteed if your a male.

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

    There are st least two presumptions in that statement. First, we don’t in fact know that men have a lower pass rate or threshold on the NCLEX all we have are a couple of “ point estimates” not...

  17. Alzheimers mention

    myoglobin replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Of course there is a difference between correlation and causation, but sometimes there is also a causal relationship. I am arguing, as do an increasing number of MD’s that it is at least partly...

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

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    Not longer in my case. Before even starting nursing school in my 30’s I had about 200 college credits, mostly sciences and business with a 3.8 GPA, but no degree. For that education I paid as I went...

  19. 265 questions is almost guaranteed if your a male.

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

    Sex may correlate with weak areas of study and hence weak areas on the NCLEX or sex could be a proxy for "higher level correlates" such as ethnicity. For example many male nursing students in this...

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

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    Here's the thing my "dream talk" is pretty low intensity around the house. She buys a piece a furniture and ask's me what I think and I say "I don't care as long as it can be shipped to Kauai". She...

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

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    The other part of the "dream" is business and that is only possible in an IP state. I've said it before, but here is why the business matters: a. There is nothing else (or very few if any like it)....

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

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    I love my SO I love my son and I have a dream to live with in Kauai and have a business that would make money and help people. I’ve only dated two people in my entire adult life and the one I’m...

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

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    I don’t plan to cheat anyone. All of my loans are federal student loans. Half the residents I work with at the hospital owe more than me. How am I mooching when I supported my SO during her Masters...

  24. Alzheimers mention

    myoglobin replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in General Nursing

    The evidence for a link between AD is strong enough that there is actually a movement to term AD DM3 given the evidence of insulin resistance in neural tissues.. There is a well established link...

  25. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

    myoglobin replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Florida was the last state to give NP's the ability to prescribe controlled medicines. The only thing that makes this state reasonable at all is the vast demand created by so many old, sick people...
