  1. Is Dr. Weil's the best certification?

    newtinmpls replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in Holistic

    What it boiled down to is I'm in the Psych/mental health track, but close examination of how our facility uses psych NP's isn't quite in line with the scope of practice - so I asked my grad school...

  2. Is Dr. Weil's the best certification?

    newtinmpls replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in Holistic

    I admit that part of my hesitancy is that Dr. Weil really really rubs me the wrong way. However, if that's a fellowship you like, go for it. I'm going to be doing a year and a half of additional...

  3. What are your views on Critical Psychiatry?

    newtinmpls replied to satyadhi's topic in Psychiatric

    What the heck is "critical psychiatry"? I'm a psych nurse and I've never heard of it. Just ran into evolutionary psychology, and I do love that.

  4. How long should you be an RN before starting NP school?

    newtinmpls replied to christvs's topic in Post Graduate Students

    The answer to the question is another question: what feels right? I graduated as an RN (while still going to school as I was on a scholarship that covered up through BSN) and kept going. However the...

  5. Graduate Credits and Hours of work

    newtinmpls replied to tussah10's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Well.... I just started the BSN-DNP/Psych-Mental Health at the College of St. Scholastica in Duluth, MN. We got all kinds of warnings at the start to NOT work more than .6/six shifts in a pay period....

  6. BSN to DNP Programs - Anyone done this? Is there a Psych Track?

    newtinmpls replied to CatherineG87's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm in semester 2 of 9 in the BSN-DNP Mental Health/Psych, and then I'll top that off by doing the clinicals for family practice. I'm a distance student at the College of St. Scholastica in Duluth, MN...

  7. List your School Here if they do not Require the GRE's..

  8. Is Dr. Weil's the best certification?

    newtinmpls replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in Holistic

    I'm confused by the title of this thread. What the heck is "Dr. Weil" certifying you for? I thought that the American Holistic Nurses Certification Corporation was the only holistic credentialing...

  9. The problem with floating ER Nurses

    newtinmpls replied to crabalot's topic in Emergency

    "Sometimes we are used as sitters for psych 1:1 patients" I work in Psych, and that is ridiculous. We use Mental Health Workers (basically CNA's) as 1:1s. Using an RN is paying way too much. "My...

  10. Does your facility allow the floor/unit nurses write up other nurses?

    newtinmpls replied to DayDreamin ER CRNP's topic in Emergency

    "Sending a patient to the floor without report regardless of reason is grounds for a write up." Really, I have two thoughts on this. I normally work inpatient psych, but float to the Acute/crisis...

  11. What is the job market like in OR?

    newtinmpls replied to marie010's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I'm working on my NP doctorate in psych (plan to also do the clinicals so I can do family/primary) and then look for something rural in Oregon. I hear that the prescriptive privledge in OR is pretty...

  12. Need help with CEU's to keep license current

    newtinmpls replied to cookiemnster's topic in General Nursing

    I just go online and search "free CEU's" after enough times of looking around I got on mailing lists, ect. I think you can also find a bunch on http://www.medscape.com/ it's just a matter of looking...

  13. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    newtinmpls replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    My understanding is that the training for a service animal is much more stringent than that for a therapy animal. Locally, in order to get into the therapy animal classes, you have to be able to have...

  14. Community College? You must be stupid.

    newtinmpls replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    To which I say, where is your documentation of this? Where is your proof? I've gone to a two year community college, I've gone to a state university and now I'm attending a private university. What I...

  15. psych-mental health NP vs Psychologist

    newtinmpls replied to LolaBunnie's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm in a PMHNP doctoral program. Because the dealing with medical issues is limited to those "related to the mental issues", I am going to follow it up with a certificate in family practice (can't...

  16. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    newtinmpls replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    Me too. that is an odd, and rather personal sort of behavior for a 9yo to just pick up. I'd wonder if there was abuse going

  17. Wondering why you can't get hired or promoted? Resume + Interview hints!

    newtinmpls replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hi all, After hearing so many folks who are surprised at the difficulty getting a job, I thought I'd post a bit on my history. I worked at my hospital as a CNA for .. about 18 years. Got into a...

  19. An open letter to the ER triage nurse

    newtinmpls replied to laurasc's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    "To the OP: Why didn't you voice your outrage at the time of the offense? You were in a unique position as a nurse and as a patient to reprimand those slobs who "cared" for you." As someone who has...

  20. Should we Skip RN and go straight for BSN?

    newtinmpls replied to mamaxmaria's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Pgalmel: "Get your RN. Hands down. If you wait, that's two years loss of RN pay, experience, seniority, raises, and tuition reimbursement. Especially since you already work in a hospital, you're more...

  21. Compassion or reality for obese patients?

    newtinmpls replied to stefanyjoy's topic in General Nursing

    "I believe that guilt can be a very powerful motivator in these cases." I've seen guilt successfully make people (including myself) feel like crap. I've not seen anyone motivated by guilt. Guilty...

  22. Wondering why you can't get hired or promoted? Resume + Interview hints!

    newtinmpls replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    The first thing I would do would be to check out some area where they are despearate for nurses, such as Long Term Care - take a job like that knowing it's only for short term, and to put a "longer...

    newtinmpls replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm not in the application stage currently - but I will be. My situation is that I'm in school for my BSN, and what I'd like, long term, is to find a small community (maybe rural) in a place where...
