Psych nursing is a small niche community. Most RN's want nothing to do with mental health. There are plenty of great quality programs. The PMHNP are making $100+ an hour through registry and many make 130 - 170K a year in my area.... more in south ...

The above thread is very entertaining. As far a Walden goes, some graduates do well while others may not. I have read here how hospitals in the area of Walden do not hire their graduates. The university is bashed a lot of this site so you may not ...

The core content and diseases she covers doesn't change. Just skip the past treatment guidelines and download the JNC 8 blood pressure guidelines and memorize them and the diabetic treatment guidelines. Good luck.

I agree. It's best not to know. The electric fence around the prison tells me all I need to know.

I make $120k as an RN. I would take an instant 20k pay cut to be a NP. See this ad. It's one of many. The psych NP jobs are 140 - 160 k......there is far less saturation. A far better return of investment. But everybody and their momma is going ...

I would first check the ads for nurse practitioner jobs in your city. See the supply and demand and your competition. Here, there are few nurse practitioner jobs listed and many pay RN wages or lower. I have posted those ads on this site. This pa...

^ by attractive, I am talking up to $170k year (private practice). It's different by location and supply and demand of course. The FNP jobs continue to fall because there are so many graduates. Most RN in this area make 120k....yet I have seen ads ...

If your heart is set for pmhnp, definitely follow that desire. That population sure needs quality NP's caring for them. My area is flooded with FNP's fighting for jobs paying around RN wages of 120k. Pmhnp are in very high demand her and the compen...

I currently work corrections as well. Before that, I worked in inpatient acute lock up units. They are very different. Many inmates fake mental illnesses to get SSI money when they parole. The real deal is in inpatient psych units and it's a worl...

You may be a audio learner and could benefit from a CD course where you follow along with the book. I found someone selling Barkley's book and 18 CDs for dirt cheap on eBay. I got this to help me throughout NP school. I am pretty impressed with Bar...

This x 1000. Also, take a tour of an inpatient psych unit to know what you will be getting yourself into. Pmhnp around here make a good deal more than FNP, but is comes at a cost.

Consistency is the key.

The RN's that do lose their jobs are the ones falling in love with the inmates, having sex with them, or bringing them contraband.

If you do your job and follow policy you have nothing to worry about.

Most np programs these days require the students to beg their way into a clinical spot . I have called various brick and mortar and online programs and they all told me this. Even after mentioning the Sawyer Initiative. They don't care about it. ...

Inmates filed lawsuits to get changes to their medical system. I have worked both and the elderly are treated far worse than criminals in this country. That needs to change.

The constant understaffing and cutting corners continues to put our elderly at risk. These atrocities should be on the news. The public doesn't see the inside story that we live /lived.

Until students get together and as a unit reporting these schools to the accreditation board, finding preceptors will continue to be a problem. More and more brick and mortar schools are putting the responsibility for preceptor placement on the stud...

Very sorry to read that. I hope something comes up in the future.

An honorable mention goes to the "Bates pocket guide to physical examination and history taking." I believe Dodongo recommended this book in the past and it's amazing.

"99,722.88–121,208.40 a year." For information regarding County jobs: • www.saccountyjobs.net Pulled from a Sacramento, CA NP AD. This is what I am talking about. Again, most RN in the area make 120k plus.
