  5. Long Term Care Nursing is Lame

    Zyprexa replied to purplegal's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    What you (and all LTC nurses) do is impressive. And it makes a difference for all the residents you take care of. Even if you move on to critical care or another specialty, you should feel proud of...

  8. Long Term Care Nursing is Lame

    Zyprexa replied to purplegal's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    If you don't like what you're doing, then why not apply for those "impressive" specialties you obviously envy rather than insulting an entire nursing

  9. How do nurses last?

    Zyprexa replied to KariT's topic in General Nursing

    Zyprexa replied to Zyprexa's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    SopranoKris, it looks like a really good program. I like that they require 2 years of psych nursing experience prior to starting clinical. Also the cost is really nice :) I will definitely put...

  15. Nursing students who want to be NP's

    Zyprexa replied to Teaching the future's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you, however, coming from someone who has worked in both med-surg/tele and now psych, there is a big difference between having a psych patient on a medical floor and a psych patient on a...

  16. Work from home nursing jobs?

    Zyprexa replied to HannahLouise's topic in Nursing Career

    Zyprexa replied to hma11's topic in General Nursing

  22. Is it a bad idea to tell schools you want to do psych nursing?

    Zyprexa replied to Marina1989's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Psych nursing is NURSING. If a nursing school has a problem with you being interested in psych, then that is not a program you want to go to. However, I highly doubt that any program would refuse to...

  23. Should I take Developmental Psychology online or in class?

    Zyprexa replied to CedarGirl10's topic in General Students

    Developmental psych should be an easy class, but it depends on how well you do with online classes. If you've never taken an online class before, having two in one semester might be overwhelming....
