  1. DEA license

    Instead of creating yet another thread I thought I'd ask: How long did it take for you to receive your DEA after applying? The main question here has me imagining that mine took longer due to my extensive ADHD medication history. I agree my fellow pr...
  2. Lifestyle/ what to expect

    LOL!! You still have that unique perspective :) Well sir, you may not remember me but I leaned on your advice these past two years and graduated last month. I'd appreciate your advice again seeing as you have traveled in many ways as I have and pray ...
  3. New NP regulations for MD, PA, NJ

    One wonders if the same specialty expectations are being placed on other practitioners? Generalist beginings or no.
  4. Anyone know about PMHNP to Psy.d/Ph.d?

    Yeah, back in the day when California would allow such a challenge. Unfortunately they no longer extend that bridge if my information is correct. I didn't have enough time in MOS to challenge and by the time I did, I had already moved to Texas. 1972?...
  5. Psych NP - peds

    There are usually two different types of Psych APN programs. Those Adult Psych programs concern 16+y/o (varies by state) and those who see all ages (Family Psych). I don't remember ever seeing a child psych NP program and I reviewed a heck of allot o...
  6. NP but decided not to practice

    Ahh, so basically you yourself have no formal training and are comparing the hearsay of your MD parental figures and your spouses evaluation of her NP education? Please spend more time on things you actualy know about and less time spreading your opi...
  7. Struggling NP student

    Sounds like you have some confidence issues there. I might sugest talking to friends who have been in your shoes and are now working the job instead of styressing over perfection. Preferably over a glass of wine or a good single malt :) Learn to laug...
  8. Nurse Practitioner with an MSN

    I will seek to clarify this further and say that this is ONLY one "sugestion" from ONE of two national nursing program certifying bodies (I believe more are popping up) and in no way is law or even foreseable future rules. Futhermore, this is the sam...
  9. UTHSC Houston Vs TWU for FNP track,fall 2011

    My best friend is a TWU FNP student and attended the Dallas campus and after speaking with him and meeting some of his fellow students, I am so glad I did not apply there. they might be local but they are amassing a poor reputation among the student ...
  10. Shadowing a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

    She could go the route of local public OP clinic. The clientele zenman is describing I find more often in the private practices. In the public mental health clinic, the clients are often simply happy to have someone to talk to about refills or side e...
  11. Which is better for Psych NP: Yale GEPN or Columbia ETP?

    Umm at Case we do 3 of general pharm and 2 or psychpharm but the general psych meds are included in the general pharm.
  12. Antipsychotics and Pregnancy

    Hypothyroid,a new cutter @ 15, and preggers with alleged psychosis decompensation? Was she psychotic before? Long past time to pass that buck. The trifecta in hallucinations is very questionable. Sounds like a bigtime axis 2 but ya got a big mess the...
  13. PMHNP

    Case Western. Very nice program but very expensive. I would highly recommend getting your masters first and waiting for the dnp programs to become more clinically relevent. Currently most DNP corricullums has little clinical aplication and a whole lo...
  14. The latest good news for all of us

    Thanks and I do appreciate your view on engaging the repeated offenders. The only reason I do so is that I fear that many nurses may become discouraged if they start believing the c#@p some are peddling. For some it makes it difficult to distinguish ...
  15. The latest good news for all of us

    I got the Email that said you had actually posted to this thrad so I decided that was worth an early reply. I agree that the same issues keep being rehashed but I hope you can see that it was a self identified non-nurse that brought those tired argum...
