  1. Failed PMHNP - need advice please

    myoglobin replied to kp1791's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There is one called the Lantern review for 200 which specifically references covering policy in detail. My wife ONLY did BoarsVitals ( every question and reviewed her misses questions after the first...

  2. Failed PMHNP - need advice please

    myoglobin replied to kp1791's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There is an app called “PocketPrep” that has about 600 questions with rationales. It is only about $40.00 and would make a good

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

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    I estimated that as a percentage of my estimated future income that having 165k in student loan debt wasn’t that bad. I figured worst case I would stay in school deferment till retirement and let...

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

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    I would not attempt to start a business until debt free plus at least 100k in bank. My goal for that is in 5 years or age 55. My plan incorporates much of the input here and frankly is pretty much the...

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

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    I doubt you would say that if my plan allows her to retire at 60 rather than 70 with over a million in the bank. She aspires to pay for her nieces college and our sons something that will be daunting...

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

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    I will go part way. For now I will resign myself to Florida for at least the next couple of years. I will keep trying to convince her to move if not to Hawaii, then at least an IP state. So far as I...

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    What is love?How long do you have? Has humanity ever adequately answered this question? Neither of us have insurance and we only see each other about 8 hours per week given our days and disparate...

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

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    She would say “why are you discussing our business without strangers”. The answer is that I have no family or friends to talk to and when we discuss these issues it ends up as either an argument...

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

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    I have the mechanics figured out to some extent, but lack the means to persuade my SO to execute them. A good plan is worthless without the means of making it happen which is why I posted for input...

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

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    She will expect me to kick in 50% of expenses once I am working and out of school that is why it is so important that I get my income closer to hers. She also doesn’t share my conviction that $85/...

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    If I need to actually credit Mellencamp then the reader is probably to young to get it anyway. It was intended as a

  13. Is this for Me?

    myoglobin replied to Mr. Confused's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Now I’m 50 but was in my mid 30’s when I started nursing school. I remember reading about a lady named Peggy Morris who was 81 and still worked full time on a med/ surf floor. She didn’t even...

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

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

    Not at union facilities where pay is based on a set scale. Also I passed in

  15. Alzheimers mention

    myoglobin replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I am supporting the hypothesis that DM2, stress, diet, and depression may play a role in the actual risk of developing AD. Since these factors are at least correlated to SES then SES could also be...

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

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    A. She works from home and thus can do her job from anywhere in the U.S. b. Yes, I want to move to Kauai, I happen to believe she would be happier and healthier there as well, but I could be wrong....

  17. Alzheimers mention

    myoglobin replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't believe that AD prevalence is the same in all SES groups. That is because AD involves the interplay of both genetic an lifestyle factors. While the genetic factors may be more or less evenly...

  18. Alzheimers mention

    myoglobin replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I would argue that reasons for SES variations include: a. Differences in habits (and time and money) to exercise and eat a better diet. b. Differences in stress levels which have been implicated in...

  19. How much of a "premium" would you request for non benefited position?

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

    I won't charge for the extra time, because if I wasn't so slow it could almost be done in the allocated time. Then again the place is a bit of a "mill" with 15 minute visits, but it can be done. I...

  20. How much of a "premium" would you request for non benefited position?

    myoglobin posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm thinking about 10% for no PTO, no health insurance, or education pay and I will pay my own malpractice (about $400.00 per month in Florida). They will still pay the employer portion of social...

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

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    1. Look I outlined a plan above that I think makes the most sense that incorporated much of the input. Focus on performing as a PMHNP, try to increase income to her level to pay down debt (somewhat...

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

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    My point is that she has known about this since she met me. As indicated, I will not leave her, but I will not give up on my dream. At one point she indicated that it was a dream that she shared or at...

  23. Alzheimers mention

    myoglobin replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in General Nursing

    There is some evidence that NSAID's may reduce risk of AD up to 20% (excluding aspirin and acetaminophen which do not seem to confer this protective effect)...

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

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    Moving to Kauai has been my obsession since the day we met when I was 25. There has probably not been more than two days in a row when I haven’t mentioned it. As to the person who mentioned...

  25. Florida Board of Health Suspends Healthcare Licenses Over Student Loan Defaults

    myoglobin replied to Swellz's topic in Nursing News

    I believe that you may be mistaken. Consider, this Florida data for NCLEX pass rates broken down by school (2017 was the most recent date that I could find data for)...
