Im also a WGU grad and a psych nurse looking for post masters pmhnp. I actually enrolled in a family nurse practitioner program but now I'm having second thoughts because Psych is what I know best and psych NPs are in a real high demand where I live

I am going to interview for a position of a nurse manager for inpatient psychiatry. I previously worked in management but I burnt out very quickly and felt like I was working 24/7. I have two kids 11years old and 1.5 years old, I am wondering if there are any managers out there with little kids and if so how do you balance it all so you don't get burned out? I think scheduling was the worst part of the job and I am dreading having have to do it again. That and staying late and not seeing my kids. Do you think an assistant nurse manager works less hours? The ANM position is listed as 7-3 and the NM as 8-4:30 I originally applied for the ANM because of the hours and less responsibilities but after seeing my resume they wanted me to consider the NM position.

When i worked in psych we had a program manager and he was a social worker but our nursing manager seemed to report to him. This position asks for a nurse with a master's degree so i was confused where it would fit with the nurse manager (the facility also has an assiatant nurse manager and a nursw manager positions listed, which in and of itself makes me wonder why are all the leadership positions open. Probably a good question to ask during an interview

I saw this job opportunity for a behavioral health. Do any of you hold this position? From the job description sounds a lot like a program director( some of the responsibilities listed are staff development- educational plans/ budget/ research/ consultant and expert resource) Would a nurse manager report to the Clinical Program Manager? Im unsure of where exactly does a Clinical Program manager stand in the chain of command and would like to figure it out before I apply and make a fool out of myself I worked as a nurse manager and nurse supervisor but I don't want to apply to a position that is "out of my league" although I have all the required qualification so maybe Im selling myself short... thank you!

Hi all. I am a nurse with ADHD and I currently don't take any medications. I used to be on Adderall and then Vyvanse but I was developing tolerance really fast and I was worried about addiction so I stopped taking it. Currently I work night as a 11 -7 supervisor in LTC/ sub acute rehab and I am struggling. I am worried about getting in trouble, I am having all the symptoms of ADHD and I feel like eventually it will catch up to me. Do you ADHD nurses have any strategies or tips on managing adhd in nursing without meds? or maybe a specialty that you thing is a good fit for ADHD nurse? thank you

Hi, I am in NJ and I have MSN in nursing education, currently looking for an online school for post-msn. I see that Herzing University offer this program. I wanted to know what made you choose this particular school? I have never heard of it before. I am very worried about not being able to find preceptors on my own.

I am completely shocked after reading this articleState nurses rail against bill requiring minimum nurse-to-patient ratios | NJBIZ Seems that the bill that would ensure MUCH safer staffing rations is being opposed by New Jersey State Nurses Association. That is definitely not my opinion or representation. I hope and pray this bill passes. Ms Judith Smith from the NJSNA must be very far removed from reality. I think the only people that would be against it are the execs and corporate. Ms. Smith says " the new bill could decrease the quality of care for patients because it could set up situations in which an inexperienced nurses would have to handle emergency situations" NEWS FLASH! those situations already exist, that's why we need this bill! I don know about you but I already emailed the sponsor of this bill Sen. Joseph Vitale, D-19th District.

this is such an old post but I'm hoping someone sees it and gives me some feedback on felician's NP program. thanks!

I tried management in two other places and right now I am 11-7 supervisor in LTC/ rehab due to relocating and needing a job fast. I think I can honestly say I suck at this job, Despite my 8 years of experience and master's degree in nursing education I feel like I am a horrible manager. Staff is confrontational, I am damned if I do and damned if I don't, I ask if they need help they say no, when I don't ask they say I don't help them. I ask what do you need help with I get "I don't know, you tell me what you want to do, youre the boss." I am terrible at couching people or counseling, I find it incredibly emotionally draining. I tried to be friendly with staff but I know they talk behind my back when I am not there. I know they say I don't do anything so I started doing less and less because I am so discouraged. I dread seeing them or doing rounds. I feel like I am always out of place, they've been here a very long time and I just got here 6 months ago. I didn't want to come on too strong so I feel like I let them get too friendly and too comfortable around me so now its too late to get their respect. Sorry if Im just venting and rambling. What do you think makes you a successful manager?

I was trying to send you a pm but don't know how, I also live in Howell and am considering MSN (actually post MSN, I have MSN in nursing education) at Monmouth University. How do you like the program? what are your clinical sites?

one of the involved nurses has THE WORST attitude and personality. I dread ever having have to talk to her, very confrontational and rude, even when talking to me. No consequences because she always works and we are always short.

it was work related. one nurse thought the aid didn't answer the call bell fast enough and lied about asking another one to help.

I work as a supervisor on 11-7 and sometimes I have to deal with CNAs and RNs calling me in to resolve some conflict and I will admit I do not feel equipped to very productively deal with it. It turns into he said she said , one accusing the other one of lying etc etc. How do you handle it?

PLEASE encourage parents to look into Dr Aron. There is a facebook group with literally hundreds of people who were helped by his regimen. He is not located in the US but a pediatrician can request a prescribing info from him to order a specially tailored compound for the eczema. Some of the before pictures of the kids just break my heart, weeping, scratched bleeding, all red , infected. The "after" pictures are amazing. His results speak for themselves. I struggle with eczema and so do my two daughters but ours are not so bad. Also bleach baths (yes, a little bleach in a tub full of water to kill of any staph- there is a strong evidence that staph colonization on skin causes eczema ) and another one if Eczema Diet book. hope it helps , I feel his pain because I know how it is to scratch raw
