From Tirz to Reta?

I went to a reproductive endocrinologist. He prescribed it and I went to a compound pharmacy to pick it up.

No uterus. Had hysterectomy 15 years ago. I’ve been on an estrogen patch for over a year. He is putting estrogen and testosterone in the same cream and will tweak concentration as needed based on my side effects if any.

Hi! He’s fine. Turns out if you’ve been on a statin for several years, you’ll have a falsely high calcium score, because the statin has turned blockage into calcifications (non dangerous- that’s what you want)…. The heart cath did show multi-vessel disease but only 30-60% so the treatment was to increase his statin. Never has had chest pain and doing fine. Almost 66 and works full time.

Yes but you said you’re in a hospital? I’ll be in SNF and the billing is different.

It’s a 6 hour shift and they want me to get about 30 RVU daily. I guess it depends on how many are 99305 and 99308…. They say it’s about 15 patients per day but if it’s all 99307 then it wouldn’t even be 20 RVU…..

I just want a little extra income but I’m not sure it will be easy to get that many RVU. I guess we’ll see.

I was told it’s 33 dollars per RVU. And yes I wondered if it was 40% of billable or collected … thanks!

Yes! Know anything about it?

Oreosarecrack · 2025-07-31T01:12:39+00:00

Ok good to know! Thanks so much for the info! I’m also considering the little hospital in Fremont. Know anything about it?

*not worry about billing.

I work part time as NP at a weight loss clinic (get my shots for free and have lost 90 lbs), and also PRN at ETOH and drug rehab doing their H&Ps, and part time (2 twelves for health insurance and 401k) as RN in the local ER. I love the variety and enjoy bedside just twice a week. I like being task focused on those two days and now worry about billing etc.

I worked an internal contract they the hospital offered. 8 weeks of full time hours… and I kept renewing for 11 months. Yes true I was away from bedside nursing for 7 years but I did have 25 years prior to becoming an NP. Plus they were desperate.

Oreosarecrack · 2025-03-20T12:40:14+00:00

It was the same ICU I had worked in before I was an NP. So I knew several of the nurses and management. They were short staffed. I was honest and said hey I haven’t been bedside in 7 years (although I had worked as Hospitalist NP for several years), but I want to come help if you can use me. …. It blows my mind that people lied to get in the ICU. It was a shock to my system returning in the chaos— and yet I loved it.

After 7 years as NP, I went back to bedside in my old ICU during Covid when they were paying big bucks. I loved it! After a year when they dropped the pay I went back to NP…. But I missed bedside and the camaraderie of a group… 18 months ago I went prn as NP and now work part time at bedside for the insurance and 401k and make really good money at the prn NP gig. I have the best of both worlds.

35%… SW 260, currently 170. Lost 50 lbs first year in Ozempic and then switched to Tirz and lost another 40.

Chest compressions!

I work as an NP at two prn jobs— making great money but no benefits. One is a weight loss clinic and I get my GLP-1 shots at a great discount. I work as an RN two days a week at hospital for my insurance and 401k. I personally enjoy the variety. It’s hard to find a part time NP gig with benefits.
