    Paid to Chart?

    MentalKlarity replied to paramedic-RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you're working 8-5 you should definitely have a hour of paid charting time since that's 9 hours a day or 45 hours weeks if 5 days a week. If you're salaried you can ask for paid...

    Walden University Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner

    MentalKlarity replied to JustSN1219's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This is true. They and other for profits are leading to a downfall of the profession by oversaturation of the market (they take anyone and graduate THOUDANDS of NPs a year) and by making us look like...

    MSN after online BSN from Chamberlain?

    MentalKlarity replied to ladyinwaiting's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    No, a for profit school means they have shareholders and spend most of their money on advertising and trying to get as many students as possible to increase revenue. They usually have near 100%...

    NP/PMHNP Work Culture

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

    Once again direct entry programs are NOT the problem. Those programs tend to be competitive and houses in top schools. They take students with traditional pre-med backgrounds and honestly if ALL NP...

    NP/PMHNP Work Culture

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

    Ha, makes sense and good luck! Again, though, be wary of "job security" as an NP. Thanks to Walden, Chamberlain, Phoenix and all the other diploma mills we've gone from 10K to 35K graduates a year,...

    NP/PMHNP Work Culture

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

    I'll be honest, most nurse practitioners do NOT get to take time to talk with patients and get to know them. Most PMHNPs do med management which basically means discussing medication options based on...

    NP/PMHNP Work Culture

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

    Hi, I'm a PMHNP. First, the market is saturating fast. There are a huge number of diploma mills popping up online graduating thousands of nurse practitioners, including PMHNPs. I...

    FNP Programs

    MentalKlarity replied to dhawk01's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It's supposed to be hard to get in, it's an application to become a healthcare provider. Difficulty of admissions should mean applicants work to beef the application, not find a diploma mill to take...

    FNP Programs

    MentalKlarity replied to dhawk01's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Walden is a joke. Why on earth were you considering it? Didn't the lack of any real entry requirements and the fact that they basically start new students every month raise a red flag? They're...

    Will I have trouble finding a psych NP job without medsurg experience?

    MentalKlarity replied to alisongoldie2000's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The evidence of concern for our profession is caused by subpar for profit programs, not lack of RN

    Will I have trouble finding a psych NP job without medsurg experience?

    MentalKlarity replied to alisongoldie2000's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think you'll likely be fine. If you COULD do a gap year or 6 months and get psych RN experience it would be helpful but not absolutely necessary especially graduating from a legit school like U...

    Will I have trouble finding a psych NP job without medsurg experience?

    MentalKlarity replied to alisongoldie2000's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It's okay to go without experience if your school is a high enough standard that future employers know you likely learned what you needed from school. Likewise, you can somewhat overcome a poor school...

    Herzing University Post-Master's PMHNP certificate program

    MentalKlarity replied to Agape practitioner's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It's really strange to me that becoming a healthcare provider is something people just do in their spare time online while still working full-time. You can't honestly think that a program that easy...

    Spring Arbor vs Walden

    MentalKlarity replied to Jlower1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The graduate rate is low because they admit anyone willing to cut them a check. It's not because the program is hard, but because the lack of any sort of admissions standards mean they admit quite a...

    Spring Arbor vs Walden

    MentalKlarity replied to Jlower1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Nothing wrong with online school! But something IS very wrong with Walden University, a for profit program with no entry standards. Why would you ever even consider that joke of a program?...

    Deciding between online PMHNP schools

    MentalKlarity replied to juneberryrn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Wilkes sounds like the better program. It's important to have quality clinicals and also you shouldn't be afraid of in person sessions. You're learning to be a provider and it's important to have on...

    What do Psych NPs think of this article?

    MentalKlarity replied to CRosalyn10's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Very sad case and the transition from geodon to Seroquel was clearly not handled well. That said, I don't think her being an NP has anything to do with it. Medication errors and poor response happen...

    Question about Psych NP

    MentalKlarity replied to ERnurse523's topic in Psychiatric

    Why psych? Have you not enjoyed the ER? There are emergency room NP programs, such as the one at Vanderbilt. How do you know you will like psych, and why pursue that as your advanced...

    University of Phoenix FNP program

    MentalKlarity replied to NurseSunshine3's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The University of Phoenix, butt of all jokes, has an FNP program? Embarrassing for our profession! Imagine an MD saying they went to "University of Phoenix Medical School" Yes student will...

    Spring Arbor vs Walden

    MentalKlarity replied to Jlower1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Walden is a for profit program with horrible reputation and many employers who won't even consider graduates of their programs. It has basically no entrance standards. Spring Arbor has...
