  1. I am a PMHNP and need advice on if this pt is malingering and their request to get SSI. Have been seeing a pt, let's call them X, who just graduated from high school. They are on the autism...
  2. Supervising NP students

    I also wanted to add a note that the pay is not worth it. I was offered about $1500 for one semester for one student. Given the number of hours required, plus supervising and so on, it worked out to...
  3. I am providing you with an employer's view. We hired CDU PMHNPs and greatly regret it. Just because an NP is working does not mean they are a good quality NP. In fact, one of our "bad apples"...
  4. I'm sorry, but this is a very poor quality program. I am now in charge of recruiting and hiring for a very large psych practice, and I refuse to hire anyone from Charles Drew. Our practice made the...
  5. Supervising NP students

    Ditto Corey Narry. In general, the students that pay for preceptors through services go to crappy schools. As an MD, is this how you want to spend your time? NP students going to reputable...
  6. In Virginia, Susanna Gibson, NP, a candidate for the state legislature, was discovered to have had livestream sex acts with her husband. "Susanna Gibson encouraged viewers to send her...
  7. Uh, posting a video on the internet and asking for money, is not, by definition "private." I don't care what any nurse does privately sexually with other consenting adults. Posting a sexual video,...
  8. Maybe you should look up the top executives with the Australian organization and identify which ones would have authority over this area. Then write a nice letter and mail each of them using FedEx or...
  9. She showed very poor professional judgement. And she also asked for money for these sexual videos. That makes her just one step removed from a prostitute. Then, when this came to light, she tried...
  10. Need Psych Nurse perspective

    I'm glad your RN experience has been helpful to you. But that is you personally, not everyone. Again, the evidence indicates RN experience is not required, nor is it a predictor of, NP competence,...
  11. Returning to work as APRN after 3 years

    I hire NPs as part of my job duties. Unfortunately, I would not hire an NP with only 1 year of NP experience who then took several years off work. PT work might be a good option for you, given your...
  12. New Grad Nurse Gap Year?

    I also wanted to add that taking a year off after nursing school will likely put you at a disadvantage when looking for a job. Employers will be concerned that you have forgotten what you learned in...
  13. BBB and the future of nursing

    Again, you are not providing enough information to support your conclusion. I have discussed this in previous posts on this
  14. New Grad Nurse Gap Year?

    Please get a nursing job ASAP after graduating. You need to start working right away so that you don't forget what you learned in nursing school. It is also strange that you do not want to start...
  15. BBB and the future of nursing

    I am not aware of Medicaid cuts. There are work requirements for able-bodied individuals, along with other efforts to cut fraud and abuse. The elderly also have Medicare, and that is not...
  16. BBB and the future of nursing

    Those are opinions, not fact. 1. The Medicaid work requirements only apply to ABLE-BODIED, single adults w/o any dependents. Disabled people, by definition, are not able-bodied. This also...
  17. BBB and the future of nursing

    I am baffled by your comment "people who are disabled and old will not [be fine]." What is this statement based
  18. BBB and the future of nursing

    Also, I am rather baffled that some nurses seem to think they are exempt from ever being laid off. Nurses are not exempt from this. Some hospitals have been struggling financially for many years....
  19. your Nurses: What's going to happen?

    As offlabel asked, what hospitals are closing? How many? Where? Why are there closing - many hospitals, especially rural hospitals, have been strugging for years. Your original post is an...
  20. BBB and the future of nursing

    The key word is "anticipated." That means it hasn't happened yet and it may not. You have 34 years' experience, which is great. You should not have trouble getting RN jobs and assignments,...
  21. BSN Program Recommendations

    You are very welcome. Please don't be so down. There are a lot of nursing schools in CA and you are a good candidate! Your chances of getting into a decent school are excellent. Here is a...
  22. BSN Program Recommendations

    You should not have trouble getting into at least one nursing school. Cheapest route - community college ADN, then do bridge to RN. These are actually the hardest programs to get into, with long...
  23. An important part of being a nurse, and something many nurses struggle with, is setting boundaries. Most prospective nurses and practicing nurses want to help people. Unfortunately, this can result...
  24. Is shortening nursing schools a good idea?

    Thank you for this additional information. I am glad RN diploma programs still
  25. Is shortening nursing schools a good idea?

    I'm not sure what the OP means by "shortening nursing school." Does this refer to leaving stuff out of the curriculum or does this refer to Accelerated BSN programs? State BONs require certain...
