  1. Finding Clinicals

    Hi everyone! I just finished my first of three semesters for the Psych NP program and it has been a challenge! One of the biggest difficulties was/is obtaining a clinical site-it's been quite ridiculous actually. I live in a bigger city and have had ...
  2. distance NP education. faculty travel expenses?

    Our faculty don't have to come out to our clinical sites thankfully even though we're distance. That would really stink if you had to pay $1000 for them to come to your site! Did they tell you about that requirement ahead of time? Good luck, let us ...
  3. Hi all, I am interested in finding articles that utilize the theory Nurses as Wounded Healer as a base. I like its concepts so much that I am willing to go into the topics that the theory is most utilized in-I'm assuming in addictions nursing. I am ...
  4. UNC ABSN Admissions

    Congratulations!!!!!!!!!
  5. Vanderbilt questions, re: MSN and internships...

    Hi! I know a little about Vandy.. From what I hear the pay is lower than average for the area, but I suppose they mean for the benefits to compliment that..The conditions seem pretty good-it is a university hospital so you have a lot of residents cha...
  6. Vandy NP Midwife Program

    Hi! What would you like to know about the program? I don't know about the midwifery program specfically as it's not my specialty. Do you live still live in the area?
  7. Handle With Care-PRT

    Hi all, I was wondering if you all had heard of/used the "Handle With Care" method for physically managing aggressive/threatening patients. I was told by the staff training us that it is pretty common to use across the US..I have been using CPI up un...
  8. Need Information About Charlotte

    Charlotte will make the person with the best sens of direction get lost-especially the area Queens is in, the Dilworth area. It's well known that the city was not built with longterm plans to become a large city so the roads are really sketchy and ma...
  9. Most RN's first borns?

    First born with history of ETOH abuse on both sides of the family-parents less so than other relatives..
  10. 75 Questions on NCLEX, pass or fail?

    I took the NCLEX, was trying not to freak out too much, but got 75 questions and passed! It goes by so quickly when you only have 75-it was a blur! Good luck to all!
  11. Experience With Your Preceptor

    I think CMC and Presby are pretty welcoming to new grads and actively seek them! It's impossible to know how a preceptor will be as there all kinds of individuals that orient people and they can be good or bad-not necessarily reflecting on the hospit...
  12. Nursing Programs

    Speaking to Carolinas program: Getting your pre-reqs done is always good-I did them concurrently with the program and it was a load-but that's the same story anywhere.. I enjoyed the clinicals at they were at CMC Main which is one of the bigger hospi...
  13. So Why Wake Med Again?

    Which place are you leaning towards? Charlotte is a large city that's trying to grow to be more 'metropolitan', and Winston Salem is nice too..
  14. So Why Wake Med Again?

    I don't know about how Wake Med's program is (I hear it's good), but it doesn't sound like CMC or Presby has an 'in depth' program as it does from what I hear.. CMC certainly recognizes that you are a new grad and tries to accomodate, but I think it'...
  15. Need Information About Charlotte

    It is a good program-I asked about the pre-reqs because as with any other nursing program, it will make your experience more successful.. I know Micro is a challenge there and the abnormal psych depends on the instructor in the pscyh department you g...
