  1. PMHNP Program Admission Tips

    myoglobin replied to flyingsky's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I earn a 70/30 split. My job is 1099 IP. My clients are in Washington State and my house is in Florida. I see anywhere from 12 to 18 patients per day and take 30min for followups and 90 minute for...

  2. Predatory New Grad Contracts

    myoglobin replied to CreamCheeseRangoons's topic in General Nursing

    Are you speaking about the bane of all corporate capitalism otherwise termed HCA? Only when they are subject to a merciless wave of boycotts by new employees, organized union efforts, and wave after...

  3. Buying a House on a Nurse's Income: How Do Nurses Afford $450,000+ Houses?

    myoglobin replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Again, as I pointed out above houses are less affordable and becoming ever more so. Why? Because they are a "hedge" against inflation and our economy is very inflationary for a plethora of reasons...

  4. Buying a House on a Nurse's Income: How Do Nurses Afford $450,000+ Houses?

    myoglobin replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Your point is well taken. Here are some actual home prices from 1970: http://www.thepeoplehistory.com/70s-homes.html . I would say the average for a "nice" home might have been around 20,000...

  5. Buying a House on a Nurse's Income: How Do Nurses Afford $450,000+ Houses?

    myoglobin replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Well in my case I would rather go with one of these https://kombilife.com/best-vehicle-to-live-in-van-life/ (maybe the class C or the Truck/camper). The advantages of the "nomad lifestyle" could...

  6. Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

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

    I did not pay my preceptor he did it for free. If I ever precept I too will do it for free. When I say $300.00 per hour I'm talking about tuition. My total cost for the PMHNP was about 10K...

  7. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    myoglobin replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No I would argue his biggest concern is as follows: My very specific concern stems from the fact that the SARS-CoV-2 virus is known to accumulate in the inner lining of blood vessels — the...

  8. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    myoglobin replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    To me it is about the point that freedom of choice about what you take in and do not take into your body. I do in fact believe that the vaccine is safe and effective for most people. However, I...

  9. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    myoglobin replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Again here is the article upon which "my" hypothesis rests https://noorchashm.medium.com/the-safest-way-to-get-your-covid-19-vaccine-screenb4vaccine-d8a9b0bb7cbd . In order to ascertain if there is...

  10. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    myoglobin replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Have we come to the point where in order to have a thought that is different or divergent that it must first be published in a peer reviewed journal? Have we evolved in to such an elitist technocracy...

  11. High Risk Student Liability Insurance

    myoglobin replied to yelly23's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    How much liability insurance does your school require? If it is under 50,000 or so perhaps you could post a bond and "self insure" (perhaps with the assistance of family members). Short of that...

  12. NP Salary/Pay Let's Be Transparent

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

    Also, I continue to see a market for "24 hour" services in the Las Vegas market. It is one of the few cities that should be able to support a staffed walk in clinic 24/7 (at least in non Covid...

  13. NP Salary/Pay Let's Be Transparent

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

    If you like California or Texas then Arizona or Nevada might be worth considering since they both have IP for NP's and lower cost of living (than California). Nevada has the added bonus (like...

  14. NP Salary/Pay Let's Be Transparent

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

    NP pay in California is some of the best in the nation. Now the cost of living and taxes are less than optimal in many places, but not so bad in others (Bakersville, Sacramento for

  15. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    myoglobin replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    An alternative hypothesis is that those getting the clots have higher Covid antibody titers and or active infection. Again further studies could help stratify further which explanation (or both) have...

  16. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    myoglobin replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I disagree with your presumptions and premises. I do not believe that the previous administration was perfect nor do I find it to have been excessively corrupt (at least in the context of Washington)....

  17. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    myoglobin replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The difference is that we are talking about new vaccines approved under emergency use provisions one of which J&J has been suspended due to possible issues (in the United States) and another of...

  18. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    myoglobin replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Not all of them, but I would wager many. I would simply add it as an "arm" of the Nurses Health Study https://www.nurseshealthstudy.org/about-nhs/history. Such as study can never answer causative...

  19. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    myoglobin replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My point is simply that many RN's will be choosing (for now) to not get the vaccines. I have proposed a prospective cohort study to look at various things such as covid infection rates, covid...

  20. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    myoglobin replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The difference is that the influenza studies involve long term meta analysis of multiple risk factors (including obviously the flu). Why not add a "non vaccinating cohort" at least as long as they...

    myoglobin replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Again, I care for females, and LGBT everyday with good jobs and vibrant lives. True some have experienced discrimination, and that is bad. At the same time we have made great strides in most aspects...

  23. Buying a House on a Nurse's Income: How Do Nurses Afford $450,000+ Houses?

    myoglobin replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I don't disagree that many places in the world are also beautiful but so is America. Perhaps that is why so many people come to visit here and why we have more immigrants than any other nation...

    myoglobin replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    America is not superior, but it is different and has many wonderful attributes. Any one can get the money to go to school. Note that I ran up my student loan debt on top of grants that would have...

  25. Buying a House on a Nurse's Income: How Do Nurses Afford $450,000+ Houses?

    myoglobin replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing
