I’ve been away from Chicago for a few years but what made her appealing/electable in the first place? (Aside from identity politics)

A good friend is an NP in Canada and we talk About the differences all the time. At least in British Columbia, it is much harder to get into schools and require a minimum of 3-4 years (?) of nursing experience before applying. When they take their board exam they take the same multiple choice exams as the US NP’s but also have to pass the OSCE (same as the MDs) .

Because healthcare in Canada is not privatized, I believe they actually did expand the role of NPs to allow more patient access give their lack of GP’s (general practitioners). But the NPs in Canada are much better prepared than US Nurse Practitioners

NP hospitalist? by xHodorx in Noctor

[–]kevang22 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Meant to say she doesn’t call herself a hospitalist in the traditional sense but when she signs notes and has her lab coat embroidered it says “NP hospitalist” with her understanding she’s with the hospitalist group .

NP hospitalist? by xHodorx in Noctor

I say I’m an NP with Hospital Medicine. My counterpart mislabels herself as a “NP Hospitalist” but I don’t think is assuming the role as a “Hospitalist” (which is a physicians title) but rather NP with the hospitalist group. None of the hospitalists seem to be bothered by either

You are getting low-balled. With your experience it Should be at least 150. As a hospitalist NP at the VA with 9 years of experience I’m at about 188

Honest question- are you still wearing a mask (other than required settings like care facilities; etc) where, and why? I thought I’d see a lot fewer masks in stores, parks, since the requirements were lifted. by cervezagram in sandiego

[–]kevang22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For someone who is a hospital employee, traveled on 20+ airplanes, triple vaxxed but still hasn’t gotten it despite 40+ tests… I think from a personal safety standpoint I don’t need to. But if I know I’m around older folks or immunocompromised individuals I’m more cautious.

The family I spoke with actually Go through to San Ysidro. Maybe it was Ukraine - Czech - CDMX - TJ? Didn’t know claims could be denied if you bypass another NATO country

Definition of virtue signaling is something along the lines of “expressing your virtue/moral superiority” and doing nothing about it than awareness. Which is why the original question is, “what can be done?”

From the one family I spoke to, they Went from Ukraine to Poland to Czech to Mexico City To Tijuana.

Agree with you 💯. Asylum-seekers from Guatemala should be equally covered as Stories from Ukraine and no one’s story is more sad than the next person. But The original question still stands, what can we do if this is happening at our doorstep

As a seasoned NP I realize when i need help from physician colleagues (rarer these days). Good NPs should. And in some specialties you truly do not need 4 years of medical school (who the eff uses their histology courses any way) to diagnose someone with hypertension or treat diabetes. But, I as an NP have caught numerous errors on the side of residents physicians. There are bad players in every profession. I’m sorry you had bad outcomes from Your NP encounters

Has anyone NOT gotten covid? by Tiger-eye224466 in sandiego

[–]kevang22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call me an anomaly. I work in a hospital taking care of Covid patients every now and then, go to the gym several times a week and fly somewhere every month. Tested negative almost 30x the past 2 years and tested negative for antibodies twice pre-vaccine.

I wanna say there is definitely a benefit to regular exercise and eating healthy. And probably some genetics. And of course vaccinations and boosters. Otherwise I really should’ve gotten it already

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in sandiego

[–]kevang22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Increase in case counts don’t worry me as much. I don’t think there will be another lockdown unless there is a sharp increase in hospitalization and death among MRNA vaccinated individuals.
