What about aerosolized virus particles? The device is self contained, but I cannot imagine that would not generate virus scatter. Any data out there to suggest otherwise?

A friend of mine who does PMHNP at the VA in New Orleans gave me a heads up that the VA is going to role out a residency program at selected VA hospitals within the next year of so. The residency program she described would be at least one, possibly ...

I will graduate in December from the University of Southern Mississippi in the FNP track, and I too want to do PMHNP. I was given this tip from a WHNP who is doing FNP and that is to delay graduation from the university that you attend to continue in...

Can anyone list what states enforce the consensus model? What is driving this? Medicare? States? BON?

As programs shift to DNP this high bar will hopefully stem the tide of grad mills. I am a bit worried....I am in a fnp program and the thoughts of finding a preceptor much less a job have given me much reconsideration.....I am thinking of attempting ...

I just got accepted into the last MSN FNP at USM in Mississippi. I have been around the block (26 1/2 years) and I am not expecting much. There are too many FNP's....too much comptetition for jobs with a watering down of salaries. I anticipate gettin...

I have worked night shift for most of my 20 years in this profession. Although it is a tough adjustment, I find that I much prefer nights to days. For one thing, on most nights you have down time especially after midnight. Most day shifts never stop,...

I agree. It is strictly entertainment. My teacher wife loves medical show, while I never bother. Why do I want to see work after I just left it?; even as it is fantasy. Besides, the only thing about them I enjoy is picking apart the many technical mi...

If that is true, I would think it is due in part from the availablity of cheap meth made across the boarder. I can't imagine it would be that usage is less, but that you don't have to make it and risk blowing yourself up.

I remember on a visit speaking with the nurse at the clinic in the Magic Kingdom when my daughter needed a band-aid. She did not speak ill of WDW, but she said the pay was less than average-about on par for a Dr's office, which is about what she did-...
