2. Psych NP questions

   AdultPsychRN replied to Danielle.RN.BSN.'s topic in Psychiatric

   Psychiatrists, PMHNP's, and PA's do medication management. Licensed psychologists, LPCs, LCSWs, MFTs, etc do primarily counseling. "The money" for licensed psychologists is not in counseling. Most facilities in the area I am from hire LPCs, LCSWs, MF...

3. Online BSN programs

   I am completing my BSN through WGU. No set due dates is very helpful for me because I have 2 jobs!

   AdultPsychRN replied to rpsychnurse's topic in Geriatric

   Dealing with stress and burnout can be difficult. I would suggest thinking of stress reduction and relaxation techniques that work for you. Exercise and listening to music is my stress reducer. LTC can be very stressful due to the number of residents...

6. Help! Resume critique please!

   AdultPsychRN replied to Swellz's topic in Job Hunt

   These are far too lengthy of skills statements. You might say something like: [TABLE=align: left] [TR] [TD=align: left] Collaborated with an interdisciplinary team ensuring patient needs were met [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [TABLE=align: left] [TR] [TD=a...

7. No Hospital Experience

   AdultPsychRN replied to Mommy_RN1211's topic in Job Hunt

8. I start nursing school in 9 days! Any Advice?

   AdultPsychRN replied to Hondagirl95's topic in General Students

   Study hard, ask questions, give yourself a few hours each week to relax and unwind. Don't worry...crying is normal, even after graduating.

9. I have a dilemma

   AdultPsychRN replied to Careerchange88's topic in Pre-Nursing

   There is nothing wrong with starting with an ADN. That is what I did. I didn't have any problems getting a job. I am currently finishing my BSN online. With your current situation with your husband, it might be best to look into just taking some gene...

10. Unprepared interviewer

    AdultPsychRN replied to armygirlabn's topic in Professionalism

    My story isn't as bad in the interview portion. I was scheduled for an interview for a CNA position (back in the day). I drove an hour for the interview. I arrived, checked in, and sat down to wait. I waited for 45 minutes! I apparently was "forgotte...

    AdultPsychRN replied to Beautiful_Soul's topic in General Students

    I completed my first year of school and took the NCLEX-PN. I spent the second year ("RN school") working as a LPN and gaining great experience while completing my ADN. I am now working on my BSN online. I guess it really depends on what you want to d...

    I am just curious (I am a WGU BSN completion student with aspirations of becoming a NP) with WGU being an online university, who did you use as your references for your grad school applications?
