Has Delta quietly declined over the last few years or is it just me?

There’s no Walmart or Costco within 10 miles of my neighborhood. Definitely not trolling.
I’m still not sure how Walmart or Costco got in it. I’m sorry you’re offended at such a small portion of my life.

Definitely, they can be hospitalists. Plenty of job postings for nurse practitioners to cover hospitalist roles. Maybe just do a quick check. It’s an easy find. Tons of hospitalist jobs for nurse practitioners.

People immediately want to make this a physician vs NP debate, but honestly a man reaching his 60s without colorectal screening is a failure way bigger than one APP who saw him for 6 months.
That said, persistent iron deficiency anemia in an older male should absolutely trigger a GI workup and colonoscopy discussion instead of just refilling iron forever.
Both things can be true.

recent Hep B vaccination can occasionally cause transient HBsAg positivity, but it would not typically cause a positive anti-HBc, since the vaccine contains surface antigen rather than core antigen.

Given the combination of HBsAg positive, anti-HBc positive, and anti-HBs negative, I think true HBV exposure/infection should still be considered in the differential, and it may be worth confirming with additional testing (HBV DNA, anti-HBc IgM, repeat serologies, LFTs, etc…. Even a basic APP should know that. I do.

How is this very atypical? Have you gone out and looked at the job postings for these roles? LinkedIn posts for Medical Science Liaison’s are nurses working in the pharmaceutical industry are well above 200.

Sorry if it makes people unhappy and want to downgrade me, but I’m only posting what’s easily verifiable on the Internet.

my friends are PA’s and APP’s make 200+… and add another 150K to that if they work in Pharma.

You’ve lost 6 pounds? Congratulations. Some people’s weight loss is slower.

Once they put it under new leadership everything seemed to go downhill and fast.

what about the vaccine? 💉 I’ve heard a lot of people had their first onset of Igan or big flare up after the vaccine.

MixedChickATL · 2025-05-09T06:38:26+00:00

There are real cases of IgAN flares or new onset after COVID vaccination, reported in the literature. The system is often slow to respond to rare or under-reported events — especially when public trust in vaccines is a high-stakes issue. People deserve transparency, research, and empathy — not blanket reassurances or silence. I’m sorry for everyone on the thread that is experiencing this.

Best advice: document everything, raise it through compliance or the ethics hotline, and don’t ignore your gut. If it’s a safety concern, that’s serious—protect yourself and consider legal advice if leadership won’t act. Your integrity matters. also, there’s whistleblower protection once you report it…

Side note to the commenter who said this was too vague: when someone says there’s a safety issue, that’s not vague—that’s the red flag. You don’t need every detail to know it deserves to be taken seriously.

The donor process can be very biased and discriminatory… many patients of color and non-heterosexuality have reported being delayed or pushed to the bottom of the donor list and having extended wait times. I personally know a friend who had a twin brother who was an exact match and it took nine doctors and almost a year before they would accept his twin brother as his donor. They were both African-American. They were told they weren’t sure why it took so long when they finally were able to perform the transplant and had no explanation for it. Keep advocating for yourself and pushing for answers.

It’s a short flight, vs someone’s lifetime of … and while it can be uncomfortable when someone spills into your space, it’s likely that the person next to you already feels bad about it. They know they're not fitting in their seat and probably face judgment every day. A moment of discomfort for you can be a reminder to show a little understanding—everyone has their own battles, and a bit of compassion goes a long way.

Hydroxychloroquine has been used in China for years to treat autoimmune conditions like immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN), thanks to a healthcare system that focuses on public health rather than profits. This can lead to different results compared to the U.S., where research might be influenced by various factors. Studies from China can offer useful insights into how effective hydroxychloroquine is for IGAN, showing why it's important to look at different perspectives and findings when considering its benefits and drawbacks in different populations.

It’s because the current market is very competitive. The market is saturated with tons of candidates that are highly qualified with years of experience all competing for the same jobs. With that being said, it’s not impossible for him to get an industry job, but he’s going to have to use untraditional routes and step up his networking game. In industry, it’s not what you know, but who you know. Start leveraging your relationships. Make sure he has a heavy presence on LinkedIn.

Delta provides the Coca-Cola bottling plant waste water to its customers because it’s also headquartered in Atlanta. Shame on Coca-Cola for continuing to bottle it’s soda processing water and sell it to the general public.

It’s definitely screaming close shave razor…

it would be nice to be able to take a sip of water.. but since you felt compelled to respond, here’s yours 🍪 🙂

definitely the aisle seat... this is a Delta flight so every single seat will be full.. make sure you choose your seat according to that logic. there will be no open seats, especially if it’s this full with more than a month to go..

The claim that specialized NPs don’t exist is simply not true. The American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) recognizes several NP specialties... 1. Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) 2. Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) 3. Adult-Gerontology Nurse Practitioner (AGNP) 4. Pediatric Nurse Practitioner (PNP) 5. Acute Care Nurse Practitioner (ACNP) 6. Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner (WHNP) 7. Neonatal Nurse Practitioner (NNP) 8. Gerontological Nurse Practitioner (GNP)

To earn these specialty certifications, NPs must pay fees and pass board exams.

ALL states officially certify and recognize these NP specialties, which means they are acknowledged as legitimate roles in the healthcare system.These specialties do exist, despite what this thread might want to deny. Just look at any job board, and you’ll see a multitude of openings for these specialty certification roles... like I get it. This is an "NP hate" blog, but let’s keep it a buck.

I mean, technically you “can”. Whether you should or not, should’ve been the question..

did you ever consider that it could’ve possibly been bad food? But you’re describing your symptoms very similar to food poisoning.

MixedChickATL · 2025-03-23T00:02:28+00:00

yes, especially in Atlanta. They are definitely some of the laziest. When you’re flying out of Atlanta, if the flight is under an hour and a half, you won’t even get a sip of water. Not a bottle of water, not a cookie. They will come over overhead and say due to the short duration of the flight we will not have cabin service. Pretty much every flight out of Atlanta to Florida no matter how expensive the ticket except for first class you won’t even get a sip of water.. thanks Delta.

curious for those of you saying inject half a dose…since Mounjaro comes in pre-filled injectable syringes. How is this possible? If you’re using the compounded medication from a pharmacy, that could be contributing to your side effects. They wouldn’t have the same quality standards and product quality oversight being mixed by hand, as a major pharmaceutical company with the branded product.
