  1. I'm definitely NOT looking to be independent as a new grad. I want to go to NP school, so I plan to work as an RN in a hospital setting until I get my NP, by then I'll have about 4 years experience. I'm not sure if that is an appropriate amount of ex...
  2. Being an independent Nurse/NP is an opportunity I definitely want to pursue. My question is, what is the difference between being self-employed and being an independent nurse contractor? Which would you recommend. Would you recommend being independen...
  3. Nursing student survival tips

    Read, read, read! Do assignments on time and don't fall behind. Manage your time the best you can.
  4. How do you find time for your love ones?

    haha. Time management is important. As long as you know how to manage your time, it all falls into place!
  5. Concern/question about PMHNP and Clinical Psychologists

    Interesting thought. Frankly, this is something I haven't thought about and I don't think it is even worth worrying about. Psych Nps/psychiatrists and psychologists are many moons apart from each other. I think PMHNPs have a much more promising futur...
  6. I don't like nursing school :( will I hate nursing?

    I don't think that will have any impact on what kind of nurse you will be. Just hang in there and keep your head up! It's a tough road but every nurse gets through it!
  7. Too young/ early in life to be in Nursing Program?

    I don't think that's young at all. I started nursing school at 18. I still live with my parents because I literally am completely broke. All of my money goes towards tuition, textbooks, and gas. Back in our parents day, not very many people went to c...
  8. Is It Possible To Work During Nursing School?

    It's tough but managable.
  9. I have no personal experience on this, but I would assume that correctional nursing would be a positive notch on your resume. Correctional nursing isn't for everybody. In my opinion, it takes a very motivated, headstrong, and emotionally strong perso...
  10. ACNP/RNFA salary negotiations

    I have a very close friend who is interested in this very same type of NP role (I may be posting some of her questions here). Definitely keep us informed and good luck!
  11. PMHNPs - also doing primary care?

    Hi, could you describe what a typical med management session is like? I'm strongly considering PMHNP and my primary interest is medication management (with a little bit of therapy). Also, as a psych NP, are you trained to do medication therapy manage...
  12. PMHNP salary and Forensic PMHNP

    How does billing and reimbursements work for psych NPs? What's the break down for what you can charge for services: med management vs therapy vs evals. Also, how independent are you in your practice? Does it require you to collaborate with a psychiat...
  13. PMHNP salary and Forensic PMHNP

    What duties does your job entail? What area and setting do you work in? What's the best area for a new psych NP grad to work in?
  14. PMHNP salary and Forensic PMHNP

    Hi everyone, I'm new to allnurses. I posted this in a different section, but I think it was the wrong one. Once I receive my BSN, I want to go on to get a DNP as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. I'm mostly interested in doing medi...
