9. UHS

   EatYourVeggies replied to FransBevy's topic in Psychiatric

   Thank you so much for sharing this website! It is so sad that they continue to make a huge profit off of mentally ill individuals who need help. It is sickening that our tax dollars are being used in medicaid fraud.

15. Non-psych nurses as CRNP-PMH

    EatYourVeggies replied to Jules A's topic in Psychiatric

    Maybe it is just me but I strongly feel one needs to be an RN working in Psychiatry before one becomes a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. Experience in the field is really necessary because school really does not teach you everything and I do feel bad...
