   Fired From First NP Job: Struggling Emotionally

   MentalKlarity replied to CH_NP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   It's not your fault, because NP education is failing us. Many people assume "all schools are equal" because we trust the nursing boards to only accredit programs that prepare us to work in clinical...

   New grad job dilemma

   MentalKlarity replied to Sunnyking12's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Sorry do you mean 1 week of paid vacation or you can only take 1 week of per year? Because if the latter, I'd run from both of those jobs as that as absolutely not enough time off per year and you...

   University of Phoenix - advanced pharm?

   MentalKlarity replied to newestlilnurse2b's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   Don't take anything at Phoenix. Likely to have some random admin who uses pre canned teaching modules and has you learn pharm by doing discussion board postings. Seen as a For profit diploma mill...

   Chamberlain University FNP Student

   MentalKlarity replied to Guest1030824's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   Look at Frontier and state schools like Eastern Kentucky. All more reputable than chamberlain. This school is an absolute joke and it's an embarrassment that you'd even consider it. Anyone who goes to...

   What state are you in? I will tell you good programs to look into. Your previous RN experience means little in making medical decisions, it's a different part of your

   If you're basically saying "I don't have enough time right now to fully focus on learning how to be a medical provider so please give me the easy way out" maybe you should not become an NP right now....

   Why do psych NPs make more?

   MentalKlarity replied to spdaydream's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   We do exactly the same as the MDs. The MDs are my colleagues and we see the exact same patients, treat exactly the same way, bounce ideas and plans off of each other. I cannot tell the difference...

   Psych NPs that Quit Psych

   MentalKlarity replied to CuriousConundrum's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   LOL no. Going to a program because it's convenient is a major red flag. You're training to be a medical provider. Physicians spend years doing pre-reqs, 4 years doing difficult school in person, and...

    Psych NPs that Quit Psych

    MentalKlarity replied to CuriousConundrum's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    100% agree. The number one thing we can do is STOP precepting or hiring for profit students and grads until they get the message and this mess

    Psych NPs that Quit Psych

    MentalKlarity replied to CuriousConundrum's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You're correct, but I think the issue is more there needs to be SOME barrier to NP entry. It's not experience, it's not GRE scores, it's not certain weed-out classes (organic chem), it's not even...

    Bombshell Article by Bloomberg Businessweek

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

    It's actually not cheap. It cost a lot more than a local legit state NP Program 99% of the time. It's a rip off. It's for uneducated consumers who fall for scams. I wouldn't see an NP who went to...

    I mean Walden is literally just pre packaged modules I'm not even sure what students pay for. The professors are adjunct, they find their own sites, the classes are pre packaged discussion board...

    RN pay more than new grad NP pay

    MentalKlarity replied to MrsClarex4's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Important to add to this the different calculus. For nurses, they are REQUIRED for the hospital to run. They need X nurses for the hospital. You've seen hospital bills? Hospitals that are for profit...
