They posted the job on the Vdex Facebook page (which still features those toothy models). www.facebook.com/vdexdiabetes

just recd email from vdex they are hiring nurse practitoners in la county CA Why? I mean, why did vdex send it to you / how did you get on their mailing list for this? Through the 'Contact Us' signup on the vdex site? If so, seems odd they would send job ads out to everyone who signed up expecting to learn more about vdex clinics.

It was not a email. Vdex sent a message to everyone who is on there friends list on Facebook. I totally agree that this is very strange. It's just like when Haken asked at the share holders meeting for a willing partner . Why would they ever ask there friends on Facebook for a nurse practitioner ? Wouldn't it be better to put a ad in your local newspaper? Are they that cheap trying to advertise through Facebook. Very weird. The MannKind saga continues. I'm glad to see some life from Vdex I hope they open soon.

I'm glad to see some life from Vdex I hope they open soon. There is little to worry about. Using facebook is very cost efficient and it reaches the people who have shown an interest in the company and its mission. Therefore this is simply the best approach. Ads in local newspapers are more expensive and IMO gives you more applications but a lower ratio of qualified ones. I personally hadnt had a look into local newspapers for years (but I am also not a nurse :-) So I suggest, relax and appreciate that vdex shows some signs of activity. My understanding is that it is a (side-) project of some (retired) businessmen who are also invested in the diabetes space (incl. MNKD). IMO little to expect short term but at least a positive sign that some guys are willing to invest real money in a business connected with MNKD.

I'm glad to see some life from Vdex I hope they open soon. Things have changed. The electronic age. Facebook, advertising and progress reports. Vdex is looking for a nurse practitioner in southern California on facebook. Like free advertising. Something to talk about. Many fine nurse practitioners. Vdex will have some fine people show up at their door.
Why, doesn't seem odd to me. Email lists, hit send, you are even typing about it. They used to say, there is no bad publicity.

I'm sure they thought those who would sign up for more information would actually be people in the diabetes medical space not impatient MNKD shareholders.

" and they replied - my next question will be where is HAKAN and what is he doing for mnkd since he is being paid thru 17'

Companies offer bonuses to staff who can recommend people for vacancies, this is really no different. You could try and filter by location but why bother since they may know someone who is the other side of the country now - safer just to message everyone.

Why is this news or even a discussion?
VDex have not opened their doors and no one knows if they ever will. And even if they do, they are not the magic bullet that is going to save Afrezza.
I think the problem is that we are so desperate for a glimmer of hope that we lunge at that every tiny little piece of internet lead.

The people that liked the Vdex Diabetes page, on which the ad was posted? Then I hope and pray they can find a nurse practitioner among those 66 (check the number for yourself) people. www.facebook.com/vdexdiabetes/Anyway, it is all good. I'm just surprised Tesla never messaged me to design its engine, or American Airlines never messaged me to fly my own next vacation flight.

I think the problem is that we are so desperate for a glimmer of hope that we lunge at that every tiny little piece of internet lead. Vdex will open - but no one knows the time line. Since they posted an opening on FB, I guess its closer. Vdex - protocol is Afrezza based so that will definitely increase the scripts and retention . Now that Mannkind cares is live, they could just do electronic RX and let Mankind cares do the rest.

Seems very strange to place the "ad" on a facebook page that probably doesn't attract a whole lot of attention. Which also brings up the point as to why they don't call themselves the "Vdex Diabetes Care Center" or something similar? When I searched "vdex' on google I get a bunch of references to "pokemon" sites.
Also, why a nurse prectitioner versus a diabetic nurse? It seems a diabetic nurse would be more logical and probably a lot cheaper.
