  1. Leaving NP-Licensure Upkeep?

    Julie Love replied to NurseLS's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It was complicated -- I was Pedi NP, but from the very beginning working in RN roles, didn't have DEA or malpractice. (Graduated too scared to try to get an NP job, then fell in love with psych.)...

  2. Nurse Accused of Gossiping

    Julie Love replied to abu123's topic in General Nursing

    I'm really curious about the "famous" new nurse.... Famous? And that's why she's promoted? But yeah, get a meeting with her and at least one other person, and say you need more information...

  3. I am a Psych nurse

    Julie Love replied to Guest1201992's topic in General Nursing

    Recording a patient without their permission is allowable under HIPAA when it is to report abuse or neglect. You might need to follow through on that to secure the exception, though. There should be...

  4. Preceptors

    Julie Love replied to Jen Jacobs's topic in Advanced Practice

    Is anyone else upset that students all have to find their own preceptors these days? What are they even paying the school for? They find a preceptor, the preceptor educates the student, and the...

  5. LPCC transition to Psych Nurse

    Julie Love replied to csantiago's topic in Psychiatric

    Look for a "direct entry" program, where you come in with a non-nursing degree, and then go through RN to NP in usually about 3 yrs. Might be an MSN instead of a DNP (not sure if the degree inflation...

  6. Do you do anything PRN?

    Julie Love replied to Piper98's topic in School

    I ran a "healthy snacks snack shop" (to reduce the hypoglycemic HA late morning among the 7th and 8th graders). Had fun, had one class run it one day a week. And then the 8th grade teacher came,...

  7. Contraband

    Julie Love replied to Nancynurse1983's topic in Psychiatric

    Sounds like your facility has horrible policies. Are you in any position to work on getting them changed? A lot of these arise from places having a very "black and white" approach, backed by the...

  8. Where to Start as a New Grad

    Julie Love replied to BuzzyAllyBee's topic in Psychiatric

    I never did the "2 yr of med surg" everyone talked about. But the weird bit was I did a hybrid program, so I was starting out as a Pedi NP who wound up working in psych as an RN. I also did School...

  9. Do you do anything PRN?

    Julie Love replied to Piper98's topic in School

    I'm impressed you can live on a school nursing salary (and pay for school). When I was a school nurse and we were meeting the mayor about low salary, I pointed out to him that everyone there was...

  10. Graduating a PMHNP program

    Julie Love replied to Sundevil2015's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Doesn't your program have this info? It seems likely to vary state-to-state. Admittedly, my memory is foggy because it was what all my peers were facing -- I already had a pedi NP, so all the hoops...

  11. Leaving NP-Licensure Upkeep?

    Julie Love replied to NurseLS's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm not entirely sure what you're asking here.... You have an NP, but are working as an RN but want to maintain both so you could go back? You could just keep renewing the DEA license; they...

  12. Is doing therapy as a psych NP realistic?

    Julie Love replied to Kaelif2015's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I do it, no problem. Specifics: Solo practice, self-pay only It is a sideline for my day job, but pushing FT. I have about 80 clients, ranging from those who come every 3 mo for med checks...
