    United States University (USU) FNP program January 2021

    MentalKlarity replied to babyisa's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This is a for profit program. Of course it's mainly self taught per the student

    A private PMHNP practice

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

    Eliza is discussing salary and income potential and that's perfectly okay. In fact, if more nurses did this rather than having this martyr complex that we should only work out of a "calling" instead...

    NP Salary/Pay Let's Be Transparent

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

    Did people truly expect salaries not to drop down to poverty wages once online for profit schools graduated so many NPs a year that they became a dime a

    PMHNP pay/salary

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

    You make more doing 30 min appts and then only see about 12 to 14 a day max. Add on codes for therapy for two 30 min appts per hour are worth more than trying to do 3 med checks in an hour and much...

    Most Lucrative States To Get Licensed In For Telepsychiatry (PMHNP)

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

    Licensing in a state without Independent practice such as TX means you'll need a TX physician supervisor and register a supervisory agreement. Not exactly easy to do. You'll also need a DEA for each...

    The state of APRN education

    MentalKlarity replied to DrCOVID's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It's the online for profit programs. I've actually seen how schools like this work, they basically have pre-canned modules that students go through and then post on a discussion board. Professors are...

    How do we prevent Nurse Practitioners from undervaluing themselves?

    MentalKlarity posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I've been an NP for a while, and I am happy and proud to be one. I am well aware of both our shortcomings and our successes. I think we fill a need in the world of healthcare, and "going to see my NP"...

    If I am licensed in a state as an FNP how do I add my PMHNP license?

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

    Schools That Provide Preceptors

    MentalKlarity replied to beeker's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    They should but I'll take wins where I can get them, at least until the nursing boards realize they can make even more money by doing away with clinicals altogether

    Schools That Provide Preceptors

    MentalKlarity replied to beeker's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am assuming based on the 10+ emails I get weekly from students that many schools don't provide them. I think it's a red flag and I'm glad the lack of preceptors provides at least ONE bottleneck that...

    Chart during the appointment, and ensure that you have ample time to finish your work during the day. Ask your employer for dedicated time without patients to call clients about results, finish...

    Nurse Practitioner Residencies

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

    Your 13 years of experience made a HUGE difference in transition to practice. For newbies with less experience a residency makes more sense. Glad you're feeling so competent already and congrats on...

    Spring Arbor vs Walden

    MentalKlarity replied to Jlower1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yes, we all wish we hadn't put forth any effort and instead gone the easy way to the diploma mill so we can have a venerable Walden degree hanging on our wall instead of Vanderbilt, Yale, Duke, etc....

    Spring Arbor vs Walden

    MentalKlarity replied to Jlower1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This is so very sad for our profession that people think this way. Hey I know, why don't we just start putting NP degrees in cracker jack boxes or give them out with McDonalds Happy meals?? I mean why...

    PMHNP Walden

    MentalKlarity replied to Alix's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You'd be wrong. I assure you that school does matter for many jobs and the reputation of degree mill Walden is very poor at most institutions. There are basically no entry standards or quite frankly...

    FNP: Transferring states question

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

    The certification exam is national, it doesn't matter what state you take it in. There is no point in getting licensed and paying for that if you're moving, but you can get licensed in the...
