  1. Going to PA as a nurse

    PMHNP Man replied to Piano-CelloRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    PA will be a much more generalized but high yield program than NP. They're flat out better trained at anything related to primary care. The programs are usually about 28 months. You will be...

  2. remote positions for NPs

    PMHNP Man replied to momofm1998's topic in Advanced Practice

    I do some optional extra work from home via telemed. I did 29 hours in June after hours and will get paid about $5,330 for those hours. The offer has been made to leave my full-time position for more...

  3. NP still working as a bedside nurse on the side...

    PMHNP Man replied to LM NY's topic in Advanced Practice

    Something I find unsatisfactory about nursing is this ownership of "critical thinking." If you're evaluating, diagnosing, formulating a treatment plan, and coding the encounter you're thinking...

  4. post-masters PMHNP what job to take in the meantime

    PMHNP Man replied to kelseykelsey4's topic in Advanced Practice

    So a few of things.... 1. Some insurance panels won't credential you for psych patients as an acute care person or FNP or even a PA. 2. As a PMHNP, you probably won't be doing any therapy. If you...

  5. Options for Family Nurse Practitioners?

    PMHNP Man replied to nurse_bri's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Why is a hospital service necessarily involved in critical

  6. PMHNP prescribing questions

    PMHNP Man replied to Joebird21's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Don't fear clozapine! You just need a patient with support system to get them to the lab and a support staff to handle all the BS. The required education for certification is informative. You...

  7. PMHNP prescribing questions

    PMHNP Man replied to Joebird21's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You have to examine a few things including your actual training, largely irrelevant of anything you did as a RN, and the area standard of care. In psych, bupropion and topiramate are routinely...

  8. Options for Family Nurse Practitioners?

    PMHNP Man replied to nurse_bri's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think it would be left up to your imagination, learning ability, interests, and board approval. I've known FNPs work for ortho, cards, peds, the health dept, schools, urgent care, medicine,...

  9. AMEDD Direct Commission Course and BOLC - Army Stuff

    PMHNP Man replied to ladmire87's topic in Government, Military

    Ha neither. I'm a nearly 40 y/o guy applying for a reserve direct commission. I work out to maintain, but it's not like a way of life for me, lol. I guess I'd need to condition myself to doubling my...

  10. Any regrets becoming a NP?

    PMHNP Man replied to DesertSky's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    No. I'm a PMHNP, and psychiatry is the lifestyle specialty. I don't regret becoming a NP. I wish I'd done it sooner in life. In fact, I'm courting the idea of taking a new job (with benefits) for 25...

  11. AMEDD Direct Commission Course and BOLC - Army Stuff

    PMHNP Man replied to ladmire87's topic in Government, Military

    Wow on the 90. I thought it was 60. I feel like I'm in pretty good shape, but the idea of making a 90 in each is a bit mind boggling even for my age category. *Nervous

  12. RN to Army Medic or LPN

    PMHNP Man replied to ReconMedic's topic in Government, Military

    Try reenlisting AD Option 40 to the Ranger Regiment and the SOCM course or enlist 18X to become a 18D. I look forward to hearing your progress, and I hope you enjoy working out. ? Yes, I'm a tool for...

  13. Downsizing Military Medicine

    PMHNP Man replied to PMHNP Man's topic in Government, Military

    It would be a good idea to beat the crowd and do that. Navy had some good options in the past. I live in a landlocked state and there was still a USNR detachment there. I forget the Navy's lingo for...

  14. Downsizing Military Medicine

    PMHNP Man posted a topic in Government, Military

    Hey, for those of you with your ear to the rails, any word on force reduction in nursing? I read an article recently about restructuring the military to utilize personnel in more combat related...

  15. Life after NP...

    PMHNP Man replied to britt_possible's topic in Advanced Practice

    When I speak of burn out, I don't explicitly mean I'm tired of rendering psychiatric care. Left to my own devices, I'm ok. Working *with* the healthcare system is what I'm tired of. I work a lot of...

  16. Downsizing Military Medicine

    PMHNP Man replied to PMHNP Man's topic in Government, Military

    I contacted the recruiter around June 2018. The recruiter went away for a couple weeks, and then I went away for a couple weeks in vacation. I also needed a medical waiver for hypertension which...

  17. Downsizing Military Medicine

    PMHNP Man replied to PMHNP Man's topic in Government, Military

    Just FYI...After your message yesterday, the AMEDD recruiter I've been working with for a year now emailed about some updates so I asked about PMHNP strength. She said the numbers aren't out yet for...

  18. Good sources for learning how to interpret CTAs

  20. Downsizing Military Medicine

    PMHNP Man replied to PMHNP Man's topic in Government, Military

    I've never had any positive contact with any form of air force recruiter. Many guard, both air and army, units (probably most) lack positions for nurse practitioners as well as nurses. Let us know...

  21. Continuing Education/Career Development Question

    PMHNP Man replied to ziggysgal,RN's topic in Emergency

    I spent one year as a ER nurse so I can't say much specific to the emergency environment. However, I've found the majority of all types of nurses to feel this way. Most seem completely indifferent to...

  22. Good sources for learning how to interpret CTAs

    PMHNP Man replied to AutumnLeaves's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't even know what a CTA

  23. Work-life balance?

    PMHNP Man replied to Polly Peptide's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    NP by far! Triple or quadruple the money to afford a better life No holidays No weekends No nights No excrement No scrubs Office Purpose Objective

  24. new NP / x-ray reports

    PMHNP Man replied to OklaFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You've articulately expressed you're unqualified to interpret the image so you can't. And

  25. Joining AD after college as a 66T/ER nurse???

    PMHNP Man replied to alprice2's topic in Government, Military

    I'm applying again for reserves. It's the last time I'll apply, and as a psychiatric nurse practitioner I feel like there's no hope. I need to close this chapter and move on. Last year they had one...
