  1. New Grad NP feeling Overwhelmed, Scared

    PsychMD replied to dolgre411's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    No doubt there are a lot of really incompetent and dangerous doctors out there. It's harder for the bad ones to sneak their way into prestigious teaching hospital gigs. Luckily, most of doctors I've...

  2. New Grad NP feeling Overwhelmed, Scared

    PsychMD replied to dolgre411's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You're missing the point. I'm not saying NPs don't practice independently in some states or that it's the norm for NPs to staff all their patients. What I'm saying is 1. academic hospitals seem to...

  3. New Grad NP feeling Overwhelmed, Scared

    PsychMD replied to dolgre411's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Peds, internal medicine, and family medicine are 3 year residencies after medical school. Some would also include obgyn and psychiatry (both 4 years) in this list. I obviously don't know about...

    PsychMD replied to Azureshunter's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  6. Regular accuchecks for patients on atypical antipsychotics?

    PsychMD replied to dbabz's topic in Psychiatric

    Same with lipids and blood pressure. Weight is typically monitored more frequently, and some recommend getting waist circumference annually, but I feel this recommendation probably isn't as often...

  7. What do you think are some of the best places to work in psych?

    PsychMD replied to Naturally Brilliant's topic in Psychiatric

    Large academic teaching hospitals likely will best fit what you're looking for. They usually have really good benefits, the prestige is there, and it's the safest bet for finding competent physicians...

  8. New Grad NP feeling Overwhelmed, Scared

    PsychMD replied to dolgre411's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It's really insane when you think about it. I assume a lot of NPs take this 500 hours of experience, go to work, and try to learn as they go. This is not the best recipe for success. The most...

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

    PsychMD replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Not happening. I know a few RNs in the Bay Area making over $200k and know that some are making over $300k, but they all do a lot of
