There are regular discussion questions I believe weekly. Yes the physical exam/assessment is video taped. Cranial nerves, all systems etc. It is thorough. Working full-time is possible if you stay on top of the work and dedicate about 3- 4 hours ...

Gabapentin was one of the most abused drugs in prison. They snort it and shoot it. It should have been removed long ago. Many drug addict inmates will say and do anything for narcotics, even break their own fingers. There are far too many narcot...

If psychiatric nurse practitioners are included in those numbers the results will be off. The pmhnp's make more in this area. The nurse practitioner market here FNP or other medical NP's is terrible. The sad part is many of the lower paying NP jo...

I found it. Certified Nurse Practitioner- Ortho Clinic Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration Mather, CA Apply on USAJobs Over 1 month ago $87,003 a year Full-time I live in the area of all jobs posted. I have debated going back to school...

This is what I am referring to. Nurse Practitioner salaries in Sacramento, CA $105,564 per year Based on 92 salaries Min $41,000 Max $199,000 Nurse Practitioner - new Camellia Women's Health Carmichael, CA 95608 $48 - $50 an hour Telehealth Nurse Pra...

In northern California, the market for NP's is pretty bad.. The few jobs available have pay in the 100 - $120,000 range. Mind you, most RN'S in California make over $120,000. There are simply too many NP'S and not enough jobs. And the schools ke...

Pain management is a tough practice, especially in this day and age with the "opoid epidemic" we hear so much about. Even though a good portion of the overdose deaths are from injecting these opiates into veins....the stigma with the pills sticks a...

Most RN's in California are making $120,000+. Looking at starting pay for NP's is pretty depressing.....I have seen NP jobs offering as low as $100,000. Most seem to be $125,000. The market has been flooded by so many online programs. Too many gr...

I have a friend in this program so ask any questions.

It would be cheaper to pay a preceptor yourself and cut out the middle man.

Starting January 2019, every student in these programs need to file compliants with the accreditation agency listed above. This is the only way things will change...the bad programs need to be shut down. They will not help you find preceptors unless...

I really hope this works out. One of my main deterants to getting my NP is having to call clinics and beg them to precept me for free. Or having to pay a preceptor matching site thousands of dollars to try to place me.....no guarantee of course. I ...

The silence with this program is deafening. Over 70 posts with little to no information on the program.

The way things are now, an NP school providing a preceptor 2 hours away would be so much better than begging for one locally.

"ensuring clinical sites" = providing students with a list of medical clinics that the students get to cold call and beg to precept them for free. Nothing will change.

Probably isnt doable if one works full-time?

Back in 2011 RN students were being told that by 2015 we would need doctorate degrees if we wanted to be nurse practitioners. I won't believe this until I see schools changing the practice.

I have read somewhere that 1 out of every 4 RN's leave the profession completely in the first 5 years after getting their RN license.

Indeed. Working the ER and asking patients pre printed psych screening questions does not make someone experienced with psych patients. Real mental health assessments are much more than that and come from years and years of direct patient care with...

"and there are plenty of pmhnp openings." Let's consider why this may be. It's a prime indicator of nurse burn out and an insanely high turn over rate. Those of us working side by side with the pmhnp or as them see it. A major hospital in the area...

As we recommend to all people wanting to pursue a psyciayric mental health nurse practitioner certificate, please get real experience in the field. Volunteer in an acute inpatient psych unit and see if this is the patient population you can handle o...

Yes definitely take that R and R time. You are right it's about prioritizing. I start next week on the this degree and am going over the material this week. It's a lot of reading but I am learning to focus on the most important things they are loo...

This times 100. I literally have seen new RN's sign up for psych nurse practitioner programs and come to my site for clinicals. They have zero psych experience and thier Jaws drop when they see patients smearing their feces everywhere , biting thei...

The need depends on where you live. I have tracked the nurse practitioner jobs posted in my area over the last 4 months and I noticed s common theme. Very few jobs are out here and the ones that are want a minimum of 2 years experience as a nurse p...

I agree. Networking is everything.
