  1. APRN Dual Certifications Benefits?

    PMHNP Man replied to N10SVFNP's topic in Advanced Practice

    I suppose if you're in an independent practice state you can do whatever you want. You'll find a lot of psych inpatient units that sometimes require the rounding psych provider to do H&Ps and tend...

  2. Life after NP...

    PMHNP Man replied to britt_possible's topic in Advanced Practice

    Epidemiologic Intelligence Service? Kate Winslet's character in Contagion. Awesome movie

  3. DNP - Nursing Education

    PMHNP Man replied to HOPEforRNs's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    The school I'm affiliated with (as a grad and adjunct faculty) has a DNP that with four extra courses you get the education credentials. Yes, more clinical is required although I have no idea what dnp...

  4. Life after NP...

    PMHNP Man replied to britt_possible's topic in Advanced Practice

    I wonder about this every thirty minutes or so. I'm a bit tired of routine clinical work, but I'm not in a season of life to return to school so I generally suck it up and keep slugging away at five...

  5. MAT program

    PMHNP Man replied to glogirl's topic in Advanced Practice

    I have a DATA 2000 waiver. It was easy to get and interesting. I haven't prescribed buprenorphine yet because of the log jam re-credentialing process at my employer. Also, the nurse board makes it a...

  6. Does the National Guard or Reserves (for any branch) take Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners?

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

    I think that's really cool! I'd probably follow the same path if I could, but honestly my general medical skills have long since atrophied (which I'm perfectly happy with). There's also no air base...

  7. Does the National Guard or Reserves (for any branch) take Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners?

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

    As a civilian employee absolutely not. At least, I wouldn't. Actually, I only work to earn a living so for the sake of bread winning I'd leave nursing today for a permanent position I'd like paying me...

  8. Does the National Guard or Reserves (for any branch) take Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners?

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

    Some may prefer military service and officership over a specific area of concentration and holding out for that. I never worked psych as a RN (or had psych clinicals), but I knew from Day 1 that I...

  9. psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner salary

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

    All of that is best left to a private message. I like the patients in general mental health and enjoy working with

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

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

    You can enroll in ROTC as a graduate student (or post bacc) and not even finish the grad degree if ROTC and officership is the greater concern for you. You may or may not come out as a nurse in the...

  11. VA 72/80 schedule

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

    I don't think they can have 72 hour pay periods. All the floor nurses on units that operate 24/7 work one 8 hour pay day and six 12 hour days for a total of 80 hrs. It seems like a real PITA to...

  12. Mental health peers

    PMHNP Man replied to beesnest's topic in Emergency

    Yeah, it could work for more than social work as well. We have peer support for outpatient and inpatient psych, but the idea isn't financially feasible for employed people in an ED setting. We used...

  13. AN - be honest....do I suck as an ER nurse?

    PMHNP Man replied to Justdoingmybest's topic in Emergency

    I was actually bad at IVs. It wasn't so much an infiltration issue rather just not able to find them particularly in overweight (fat) people and most people are overweight these days so the problems...

  14. Masters Degree??

    PMHNP Man replied to NurseAN94's topic in Case Management

    I think NP may give you a more complete view of case management, i.e. thinking beyond start standard nursing care. You can become a NP and not prescribe anything (or even bother seeking prescriptive...

  15. Does the National Guard or Reserves (for any branch) take Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners?

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

    Did your nursing experience, nurse practitioner or otherwise, lend itself to a flight nurse role? If not that versatility is

  16. Help- Minute Clinic or Planned Parenthood?

    PMHNP Man replied to Stephgriffin6's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm clearly in the basket of deplorables,

  17. Physician Assistants now have FPA

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

    Good for them. Now they need a new

  18. Help- Minute Clinic or Planned Parenthood?

    PMHNP Man replied to Stephgriffin6's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm astounded anyone who's a parent (&/or appreciates children) would work for

  19. Providers supposedly under prescribing

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

    I do believe we are now opioid shy. So if I had back problems unrelieved by transdermal "patches and smears," NSAIDs, and other currently pro social regimens I'd be outraged. Yes, there IS a place...

  20. Why did you become a NP?

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

    But yes I usually enjoy my work. It's beginning to grow old,

  21. Why did you become a NP?

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

    I wanted to come in out of the cold. Never mind the other life. I was looking for an office job in a role possessing arcane knowledge so my employment demand would be greater than competition supply....

  22. New NP Resume

    PMHNP Man replied to brv5's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Try a pro resume writing service like top resume or something. $150 or do is little to pay for a product looking remarkably better than most nurse resumes I

  23. Can an RN make $200K a year working 24 hours a week?

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

    If you can do it behind a desk wearing anything but scrubs I'm

  24. psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner salary

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

    Made from 183-208k/yr in a community oriented privy practice, 3600/semester teaching a single NP course, 113k/yr at the VA, and 150/hr at an after hours consulting job. Salary should be directly...

  25. How much did NP school prepare you?

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

    We did have psychopharm in addition to the pharm all the other NPs take. We used Stahl's books. Nonetheless, course instruction seemed to center around outpatient meat and potatoes, i.e. mood...
