1. Has anyone heard of Continuum Pediatrics in Pittsburgh?

   Noah'sRNMom replied to Noah'sRNMom's topic in Pennsylvania

   Hi! Thanks for your reply. I have no experience in Peds, so I want to make sure they offer proper training. I know I wouldn't want a nurse taking care of my child with sub-par training. If you would tell me some more about them, I would appreciate it...

   Hi! I am currently a psych nurse who just finished my bachelors. I am getting ready to apply to NP program. I would really like to work in Women's Health, but haven't been able to be hired as an RN. I'm torn between applying to a FNP program or a WHN...

   It's not THAT bad! Find a friend that's AT LEAST as smart as you and study together. I made a couple friends there that will be close friends forever!

    I'll admit that we take 2 hour breaks on nights, and some of us sleep in our cars. Some people sleep in treatment rooms. Yuck!

11. Violence in Psychiatric Nursing

    Noah'sRNMom replied to Mashira's topic in Psychiatric

    Seated holds don't work, are hard to do, and don't work. We used to have an excellent program, but have recently traded it in for a program called "Response." It's a crock. The seated hold is one person on either side, you slip your arm under their a...

12. Psych or LTC??

    Noah'sRNMom replied to sameasalways's topic in Psychiatric

    Hi. I work for a state run facility and I can tell you a little about what I think are the pros and cons. The pros: We are in a union, which means that once you are hired, it is very hard to be let go because you have the union backing you always. An...

14. Question re terminology

    Noah'sRNMom replied to canoehead's topic in Psychiatric

    before I looked at elkpark's post, I was going to say that your first paragraph sounded like schizoaffective disorder type personality. As far as tx, I would say that would be individualized depending on which methods have already been tried and have...

15. Going back to school to become a Psychiatric Nurse at 34 with 3 young kids?

    Noah'sRNMom replied to Mady0625's topic in Psychiatric

    I was pregnant with my first during nursing school. I had my son in the middle of a semester, and was back within a week to finish up because I was required to. Nursing school is hard, but doable. If you have the drive and are self-motivated. As some...
