  1. Army Reserve Nurse Corp (66E) October boards and special pay

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

    Congratulations! Let us know what you decide to

  2. Army Reserve Nurse Corp (66E) October boards and special pay

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

    Hey, just to confirm, are you saying there was a brief period of no bonus incentives, but now the incentives are back on the

  3. Army Reserve Nurse Corp (66E) October boards and special pay

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

    I've been waiting since June 2018. Regarding special pay, I confirmed today there are very few special incentive pays for FY20, and those mostly relate to the medical corps. I was just told there are...

  4. DMAT Disaster Teams

    PMHNP Man replied to flygirls2's topic in Government, Military

    Google around for your state's DMAT, e.g. Florida DMAT or something. I found onr day by happenstance that my state's DMAT CNO worked in the same clinic I do. This person said "we'd love to have you"...

  5. Why are FNP paid less than Psychiatric NP?

    PMHNP Man replied to The0Walrus's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think FNPs come running ready to take any "advanced" job they get and become saddled with low pay regardless of what billing is collecting off of them. In pysch, we are fewer and number and more...

  6. Will you get your DNP

    PMHNP Man replied to DannyBoy8's topic in Advanced Practice

    Your resolve is admirable although you do present a fallacy of logic. Your patients's care, clinically, will be no greater based on current curricular models with a DNP as there is no added value in...

  7. Will you get your DNP

    PMHNP Man replied to DannyBoy8's topic in Advanced Practice

    As I reflect more on this topic, I maintain my immediate thought. "I don't care anything about a DNP." And I don't. I think the entire premise of the degree is vapid. Having said that, there are some...

  9. Psychiatry question - Must I provide Therapy too?

    PMHNP Man posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Obligatory anecdote: I currently work in an environment in which all the psych staff tend to spend more time with patients engaged in "supportive counseling" or other therapeutic dialogue. Despite...

  10. Psychiatry question - Must I provide Therapy too?

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

    Hence their current dilemma, lol. In a 40 hour work week only 29.5 hours has to be

  11. Psychiatry question - Must I provide Therapy too?

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

    I actually feel like the load is rather light, quantitatively. Our max is 12/day if they're all med checks. I used to schedule that over a 3-4 hour window, but more rapid work was heavily incentived...

  12. Psychiatry question - Must I provide Therapy too?

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

    Yeah, it's an odd place. I do a lot of what I'd code 99214 in any other setting, but here they're fixated on the number of diagnoses you treat at each visit and don't like any referen to diagnoses you...

  13. Psychiatry question - Must I provide Therapy too?

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

    30 minutes on the med checks with a 99213 typically. Yeah, it's the desired outcome of each visit with the the therapeutic dialogue and psychoed it's a doable deal. In a revenue generating capacity is...

  14. Psychiatry question - Must I provide Therapy too?

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

    Yeah, I was in public safety myself and have had those same thoughts, but it's not really practical. On a side note, I read something about CISD making trauma worse later down the road. The theory was...

  15. Psychiatry question - Must I provide Therapy too?

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

    In theory, yes. However, you'd probably have to work independently and accept, exclusively, only cash or insurances that reimburse PMHNPs for psychotherapy. Additionally, you'd want to engage in your...

  16. Psychiatry question - Must I provide Therapy too?

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

    Yeah, I'm with the VA. They're very med heavy and very therapy light. Fortunately, the therapy is mostly evidence based and not supportive nonsense that leaves people in counseling for years, yet it...

  17. $200,000 salary as a RN, it's true

    PMHNP Man replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Did he show you a remuneration statement to confirm this? Many years ago I read about cops in LA making well over $100k/ year which they should. Sounds great especially for cops in my area. But a...

  19. AMEDD Direct Commission Course and BOLC - Army Stuff

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

    I mean exactly that. Of all the hundreds of clinicians that get military loan repayment successfully, why didn't you? What happened? Walk us through your

  20. AMEDD Direct Commission Course and BOLC - Army Stuff

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

    This begs the questions; what happened to you? What made your case

  21. PNP first assist?

    PMHNP Man replied to direw0lf's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You could maybe work for a pediatric surgeon and utilize a dual set of skills, but likely you might find yourself split between FA and PNP careers. Which pays more? The answer is there.

  22. Military Nursing?

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

    Get in with the university ROTC program and major in nursing. All of your problems will be solved. Also, anticipate an eight year service commitment. You could have any plausible combination of...

  23. Side gig/business while NP??

    PMHNP Man replied to BirkieGirl's topic in Advanced Practice

    Are you talking about being a life coach? Sure, why not do

  24. Army FY 2019

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

    I can speak a little to that and have encountered two different news stories of experienced surgeons commissioning as lieutenant colonel. Rad, eh? So physicians and dentists will commission at minimum...

  25. Army FY 2019

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

    Just making dialogue here ? I was talking recently with a CRNA on another social media platform who direct commissioned to a captain in the army reserve. The person had a cumulative seven years of...
