1. How often do addiction nurses deal with physical problems?

   satyadhi replied to satyadhi's topic in Addictions

   Thanks everyone! I guess I was a bit fearful that if I did psych that I would never use my other med-surg type skills, I'm glad to have that fear proven wrong. There is just so money areas of nursing that interest me, but none like psych and addictio...

   How often do addiction nurses deal with physical problems? I think psych nursing sounds interesting (although I haven't had my psych nursing class yet), but my problem with psych nursing is that you often do not get to deal with physical problems and...

3. Can anyone become a nurse? When do I give up on being a nurse?

   satyadhi replied to satyadhi's topic in General Students

   Thanks everyone... I'm not ready to give up quite yet, but I'm trying to be realistic too. I guess the idea of doing anything else with my life besides nursing makes me feel guilty, after all the time I spent on pre-reqs. I failed my second nursing c...

4. Can anyone become a nurse? When do I give up on being a nurse?

   satyadhi posted a topic in General Students

   I just don't seem to be doing very well in nursing school despite having an excellent GPA before being accepted into the nursing program. I really love nursing, but I just don't seem to be very good at nursing. I have the heart and the compassion to ...

5. How hard is it to find a rural nursing job in Arizona in a farming community

   satyadhi replied to satyadhi's topic in Arizona

   hmmm... From what I've read Arizona has some pretty fertile land, the main problem is the lack of water. I've read you can grow just about anything in Arizona (maybe not on a commercial level) as long as you have a water supply and provide shelter fo...

7. How hard is it to find a neuropsychiatric unit?

   satyadhi replied to satyadhi's topic in Psychiatric

   In what ways are they challenging? I think the challenge will be worth it, because a few years later when I become an NP I should have some very sharp skills, and not to mention this area of nursing sounds fascinating which should help pull me throug...

8. How hard is it to find a neuropsychiatric unit?

   satyadhi replied to satyadhi's topic in Psychiatric

   I think the only thing better than working in a neuropsych unit would be working in a neuropsych rehab unit, which would qualify me to sit for neuroscience, rehab, and psych specializations.

10. Is it reasonably possible to have two NP specialties?

    satyadhi replied to satyadhi's topic in NP

    Ok, that souns very possible. Thanks so much... if I can get into this program one day then that will cut about 3 years off my studies. Do you know if any other colleges off this kind of degree? I figure it would be good to try to apply to as many pr...

11. Can a home health nurse specialize in neurology?

    satyadhi replied to satyadhi's topic in Home Health

    Ok, thanks. Would it be possible to work with both psych and non-psych home health patients at least? What about if someone was interested in family health, could they deal with both peds and adults?

12. Are med surg skills important for a nurse practitioner?

    satyadhi posted a topic in NP

    Are med surg skills important for a nurse practitioner? It seems like there are a lot of med surg type skills that most RNs regardless of there specialty would benefit from spending some time in med surg. Do NPs ever really deal with IVs and stuff li...

    satyadhi replied to satyadhi's topic in NP

    Thanks! I will definitely look into that! Do you know if they are hard to get accepted into? I do rather well academically, but I admit nursing school is very hard for me.

14. Can a home health nurse specialize in neurology?

    satyadhi posted a topic in Home Health

    Can a home health nurse specialize in neurology? Assuming I have at least 2 years experience working on a neuro unit could I go to a home health agency asking for mostly neuro patients? I have heard that some home health nurses specialize in certain ...

15. Are there any psych areas which will keep other non-psych nursing skills sharp?

    satyadhi replied to satyadhi's topic in Psychiatric

    Ok, just wanted to make sure I would get a variety of experiences... I guess geropsych it is then, or at least that is my plan when I become an RN.
