   Wake88 replied to 2015bsngirl's topic in NP Students

   Hello. I just started first semester today. Your best best for updated responses would be to also join the Wilkes PMHNP facebook group. You'll actually get some helpful responses in a timely manner.

2. Starting BSN-to-PMHNP at Wilkes University

   Wake88 posted a topic in NP Students

   So I'm in a pickle and trying to figure out how to proceed. I've got $2500 saved up for PMHNP program. I work 5-6 12s a week, for school. I could attempt Fall semester this August 29th, with maybe around $6,000-$10,000 saved as an emergen...

3. Staff Nursing is Exhausting

   Wake88 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Good evening all. This is a vent and a plan to exit the floor. If you're a nurse and you understand what it's like, awesome. LPN 2 years, RN going on 3. BSN obtained 6 months ago. Planning to go to PMHNP school this Fall. OK ...

4. PMHNP-BC, a UWorld Equivalent?

   Wake88 replied to Wake88's topic in NP Students

   That's part of my habit, honestly, to start studying for the final exam super early. I did that with both NCLEXs and cleared them both in 30m at 85 and 75. I did over 9,000 NCLEX questions with rationales. Learned during nursing school that for whate...

5. Wilkes University BSN-MSN PMHNP / Spring 2021

   Wake88 replied to 2015bsngirl's topic in NP Students

   I'm in the same boat right now. Looking to start the PMHNP program this Fall at Wilkes University, primarily because they help with finding preceptors. I don't want to be in a nightmare situation where I'm halfway through but can't find any preceptor...

6. Any Psych Nurse Practitioner's out there?

   Wake88 replied to HealingThoughts's topic in NP Students

   I know this thread is very old, but I'm an RN looking to start the PMHNP program this Fall, and am in search of answers. Would it be optimal to work inpatient PMHNP, then outpatient, then outpatient private practice? I have watch several videos from ...

7. PMHNP-BC, a UWorld Equivalent?

   Wake88 replied to Wake88's topic in NP Students

   Thank you for offering your knowledge and advice. Part of me, when eager and anxious, just wants to hunker down and just start studying as much as I can in 30-minute increments. Just spent 6 hours total yesterday studying the purple book, and lo...

8. PMHNP-BC, a UWorld Equivalent?

   Wake88 posted a topic in NP Students

   Anyone here know if there's a PMHNP-BC/ANCC module on a website like UWorld? I used UWorld for both past NCLEXs and it was worth every penny. Right now trying to figure out everything to study for the PMHNP this Fall. Got the purple ANCC study ...

9. PMHNP, Guaranteed Preceptors?

   Wake88 replied to Wake88's topic in NP Students

   Good evening all. So far I've got Wilkes University on my list. They have PMHNP program and they advertise helping to find preceptors. Have called them twice and left voicemails last week and still haven't gotten any response. Have heard ab...

10. PMHNP, Guaranteed Preceptors?

    Wake88 posted a topic in NP Students

    Good morning all. I've recently completed my BSN, and am now looking to start a psychiatric nurse practitioner program next year. The main problem I'm dealing with is trying to find a school (preferably online but B&M is fine) th...

11. Making Nursing Videos

    Wake88 replied to Wake88's topic in General Nursing

    I've emailed my state BON and will be calling them tomorrow. All I want to know is if I'm allowed to created study guide videos for fellow nursing students. To be frank I don't care about opinions, nor the opinion that even though I've got 2 years of...

    Thank you. I will. Not quite ready yet, but I would like to in the future.

13. Making Nursing Videos

    Wake88 replied to Wake88's topic in General Nursing

    The videos are more directed at nursing students who want to know what to do as nurses for 'X' disease process. Comprehensive videos that help nursing students.

14. Making Nursing Videos

    Wake88 replied to Wake88's topic in General Nursing

    I find that very interesting, because on a large FB group I got screamed at for daring to state my interest in making informational nursing videos on YouTube. Basically I'd make videos on things like type 2 diabetes mellitus and everything nursing ma...

15. Making Nursing Videos

    Wake88 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Are nursing students and/or nurses with 2 years of experience or less allowed to make nursing-related information videos on YouTube? I've been told that only MSN and DNPs can make informative nursing YouTube videos. Apparently there are a lot of nurs...
