  2. PMHNP Programs

    Issaiah1332 replied to Drea147's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    We also do a lot of interdisciplinary things with pharmacy students, music therapy students, etc. We frequently have actors from the theatre department to act as mock patients, while we're observed...

  3. PMHNP Programs

    Issaiah1332 replied to Drea147's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm attending Shenandoah University. It's very good. I've known several graduates too. I work with some and knew others personally, before and after the program. They're well prepared and as a student...

  4. Choice, Pathology, and the Disease Model of Addiction

    Issaiah1332 posted a topic in Addictions

    Let us begin by considering two scenarios. The first is a middle-aged woman who, despite never smoking a single cigarette in her life, has recently struggled with shortness of breath and blood-tinged...

    1. I concede the notion of neural plasticity IN the article. The idea, however, that one can simply change their brain into whatever structure one believes is simply not the case (I realize this isn't...

  7. Choice, Pathology, and the Disease Model of Addiction

    Issaiah1332 replied to Issaiah1332's topic in Addictions

    You can correlate the rise of addiction with a variety of things, but the disease model isn't one of them. Unless you have some data to support it. The research grew out of the explosion of addiction,...

  8. Choice, Pathology, and the Disease Model of Addiction

    Issaiah1332 replied to Issaiah1332's topic in Addictions

    Interesting...there comes that anger again. "No one gets addicted to pills he or she has never taken" I think I address that argument. You'd have to discount the fact that people begin using for a...

    Issaiah1332 replied to Issaiah1332's topic in Addictions

    Lol. Win some. Lose some. Check out the NEJM reference for a less 'ostentatious,' satisfyingly denser article. Don't let my writing style turn you off to soaking up the exciting research that...

  10. Choice, Pathology, and the Disease Model of Addiction

    Issaiah1332 replied to Issaiah1332's topic in Addictions

    The disease model has been around, largely in the medical community. The general public and more importantly (perhaps as a consequence of public consensus) policy-makers have been much slower in...

  11. Choice, Pathology, and the Disease Model of Addiction

    Issaiah1332 replied to Issaiah1332's topic in Addictions

    We understand the pathology fairly well. Like all things in medical science, we do not have the full picture. There are very few disorders that are not also diseases, since the terms are not mutually...

  12. Question about publishing, without doing a research study?

    Issaiah1332 posted a topic in Research

    Hello, I was wondering if anyone thinks its possible or has tips on how to do so; but I was basically curious if one can publish an article that describes a phenomenon and/or approach to it, and...

    Today concluded over 35 hours of training in the Mayo Clinic Tobacco Treatment Specialist Certification (Oh, yeah, these thoughts are my own and in no way reflective of the course). While in this...

    Issaiah1332 posted a topic in Research

    Hello, I just interviewed at a research facility and one of the doctors, also the director, asked me some of my goals. I mentioned that my dream is to be published and he said that I'd be...

  15. What a Tobacco Treatment Course Taught Me About Opioid Abuse

    Issaiah1332 replied to Issaiah1332's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting points. I would say that the cure is worse than the disease if and only if, the outcomes are worse. As it stands now, drugs like Suboxone seem to be saving lives. I think that as long as...

  16. What a Tobacco Treatment Course Taught Me About Opioid Abuse

    Issaiah1332 replied to Issaiah1332's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for your reply and you raise some interesting points. I would disagree in a semantic way, but not in a normative way. Here's what I mean: by definition, mental health issues generally are seen...

  17. What a Tobacco Treatment Course Taught Me About Opioid Abuse

    Issaiah1332 replied to Issaiah1332's topic in General Nursing

    Societal costs are difficult to quantify many times, however that figure seems to be the consensus. I'm sure it's a conservative one, but it's important to note that it references prescription opioid...

    Thanks! Yeah, unfortunately, that statistic is accurate. This is societal costs, of course....

  19. What a Tobacco Treatment Course Taught Me About Opioid Abuse

    Issaiah1332 replied to Issaiah1332's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for your reply! I agree completely! All too often, we want to look for causation but confuse it for blame. It's a brain disease and we have to see it as
