   Thanks again for the TMAP link. I shared your comments and the site with my preceptor and she agrees with them so I my confidence is restored and I have something to use as a basic start. What I am looking for now is some way of knowing how they stac...

   healer_energy replied to healer_energy's topic in NP

   Thank for your reply! We had some TMAP algorithms given to us at school and I dug them up. Thanks for the great websit with them all! However while I was searching on line for them I came upon this website Bush To Impose Psychiatric Drug Regime - Hea...

3. Psychopharmacology mystery

   healer_energy posted a topic in NP

   I am a psych nurse practitioner coming to the end of my training. I have been a nurse for decades but not in psych so I am finding myself feeling rather lost in this new field. Specifically the medications. I am spending a lot of time studying them b...

4. NP Psych opportunies

   healer_energy posted a topic in NP

   Reading the posts related to a master's degree from another field and transitioning into nursing, I feel I am in the same boat, in some way. I have been a med-surg/critical care/long term care nurse for decades and have a Master's in Nursing Ed. Now ...

6. Systemic Formulas

   healer_energy replied to michelle95's topic in Holistic

   I just saw your messages about these formulas and I am currently considering going to a chiropractor who also uses these formulas. I was wondering how it was turning out with you. Chiropractors very frequently are able to practice with many other typ...

   healer_energy replied to healer_energy's topic in Holistic

   Thank you for this info. I just can't find any other stuff about it. I think you may be right. It's been three days and I still feel woolly at times. Can you give me any resources. Thank you Sonya

8. Anesthesia and the aura

   healer_energy posted a topic in Holistic

   I recently had anesthesia and I think what it does is strip off your aura because all noises and events around me just made me grip my head and ears and want to scream.:trout: It also felt like I was surrounded clumps of white wooliness. After a whi...

9. NP w/no desire for RN?

   healer_energy replied to Pinoy2.0's topic in NP

   This is my issue too. I am wondering if it is different in psych, which is where I am. I have had decades of experience in med-surg, critical care etc and I have always been focused on the emotional aspects of wherever I was. Now I am in a NP/Psych p...

    I am just reading this almost a year later and wondering what happened to you over the year. But I wanted to say that there is a lot of mental health aspects to all types of "medical nursing". I have worked med surg, ICU, CCU,ER and teaching and alwa...

11. New Job, Need some advice Please!!

    healer_energy replied to kwagner_51's topic in Geriatric

    I think all the ideas are good. I personally cannot do them in any other way that straight from the front of the MAR book to the back. Sometimes I go backwards so I hit the farthest away ones first. Sometimes that fools the phone calls that always ha...

12. What do you live for?

    healer_energy replied to Curious1alwys's topic in Psychiatric

    I do know this feeling and I think mine started when my husband died 4 years ago. Every day I opened my eyes and the world was still wrong. And now that I am 60 thoughts of retirement and "What's the use of starting something new" keep popping in fro...

    healer_energy replied to krisssy's topic in Psychiatric

    I am in somewhat of the same boat. I am 60 and having completed my MS in Education/Med Surg 10 years ago I am now doing a post graduate track in psych. I am not going to be a NP but a clinical nurse specialist. I have had very little experience in ps...

14. Nurses with bipolar disorder?

    healer_energy replied to lizzychica02's topic in Psychiatric

    Yes, I don't mean to be flippant but I think it is a truth that many, many people who go into helping professions are unconsciously seeking help for themselves. I was a bit surprised that you were worried that a psych history would be a problem. And ...

15. assaults to nursing staff in psych hospitals

    healer_energy replied to janne's topic in Psychiatric

    I am glad you mentioned this. Although I am studying psych nursing I work in a late stage Alzheimer's unit and I can see quite clearly looking just at the behavior's documentation a definite spike in incidents when certain nurses are working there. T...
