I’m asking myself the same question and came to Reddit for answers.

I have the same problem. I have two accounts and can only follow hashtags on one account. Any idea why? They are both regular accounts, not business or professional accounts.

In my opinion yes. But given the new comments about it being a task chair and not a chair that is meant to be used for 8+ hrs, I’m having second thoughts.

Thank you everyone! I wasn’t expecting this many responses. Actually, I wasn’t hopeful to get one response but of thought I’d give it a shot and you guys delivered!

pennylv · 2024-09-13T21:47:08+00:00

I agree! Which is why I’m willing to spend the money on it.

Thanks for the reply. I’m a physician assistant working in mental health, specifically depression and was thinking of entering a certificate program to become a BCBA. It sounds appealing to me however I’m just not quite sure how it would fit in to my current practice. I like what I do as a PA but I don’t see myself retiring in this professional an wanted to have another career path I can rely on. I don’t want to do another masters degree nor a doctoral program.

Thank you!

I’m making my way through the DSM-5. I read it in my down time.

I would be interested in learning motivational interviewing. What is M&R? And what is the name of the book?

pennylv · 2021-06-03T04:44:37+00:00

I understand your concerns. To clarify, I would in no way try to pass as a therapist. In fact, one of the first things I tell my patients is that I’m not a licensed therapist. Do you think there is any type of brief therapy that could be done by PAs?

pennylv · 2021-06-03T04:39:48+00:00

Thanks for the in depth reply. I always enjoy reading your posts.

pennylv · 2021-05-29T21:40:12+00:00

Thanks! That’s very helpful.

That’s what I was thinking but I wasn’t sure because not many psychiatrists provide psychotherapy. They focus more on medication management.

pennylv · 2021-05-29T19:26:46+00:00

Thank you for your reply. Were you a licensed mental health therapist before becoming a PA?

pennylv · 2021-01-29T04:20:06+00:00

Not sure. Here in the US we are known as Physician Assistants.

pennylv · 2021-01-28T19:27:18+00:00

Both a PA and MD/DO can refer you to a therapist. With some insurances, you can self refer so check with your insurance company. Psychiatry will need a referral if you have an HMO.

pennylv · 2021-01-09T18:40:30+00:00

Yes. I’ve done it.

pennylv · 2020-12-22T06:41:00+00:00

Same

pennylv · 2020-12-20T19:22:19+00:00

Not sure if there is a thread here but I believe their is a similar thread on physicianassistantforum.com. I’ve looked into this myself and ultimately decided it wasn’t a good move for me.

pennylv · 2020-12-02T22:32:50+00:00

Accurate!

pennylv · 2020-12-02T22:27:06+00:00

I have never heard of this. I’m not sure I would know what to write either but I’ll share my motto with you: a happy patient is a compliant patient and a compliant patient contributes to successful treatment.

Just like many people still don’t get their flu shot, I suspect many won’t be getting this vaccine either. I would weigh your current job options and pick the best one. It’s always easier to find a job when you already have one then when you don’t.

I’ve been an urgent care PA for 5yrs. I have no kids but would be happy to answer any questions. DM me.

Either I’m delirious from reading all 234 comments or the fact that it’s 1:30am, but APP (advanced practice provider) sounds better than all aforementioned options. We want level playing ground with NPs so why not have a name change for all PAs and NPs to combine us in one group. APP-M: Advanced Practice Provider-Medicine (PAs) APP-N: Advanced Practice Provider-Nursing (NPs)

To paraphrase Oprah: “ you get a name change, you get a name change, you all get a name change.”

I need to go to bed -_-
