Advanced patho was brutal. I took it alone because my mentor thought that would be the best for me. My classes are in 7 week blocks. Right now I am taking 2 classes so similar to your scenario ( minus advanced patho this sem) and defiantly has been l...

Mentalklarity, I cannot tell you the amount of times I have seen salary shaming within the nursing community so kudos for bringing some mentalklarity to the convo. There is no way if this was a group of physicians they would be shaming each other fo...

Esanity, I have been a nurse since 2007. For me, I have never truly enjoyed it. There are certain things that I love about it of course. I love patient care. I love being with my patients and seeing them do well. I really enjoy helping others. I...

Haha. There are different levels of acuity. My hospital takes a lower acuity. It depends on what your facility will accept too. I was more afraid of peds hospital psych and adult psych. Gero- psych patients are usually very febile and if you need to ...

It sounds like there is some room for improvement within the program. Thanks for the advice about posting in the beginning of the class. ? I am very excited to get my PMHNP. I have wanted to do this for a long time and I am so happy to get this oppor...

Wow. I haven’t had any bad experiences yet. I started 3/15. I took nursing theory and healthcare policy. I do have Dr.Vietz and she has been nice and pleasant. There has been choppy communication. I am not on facebook so have no idea how to connect w...

So far so good. I started my first 2 classes March 15. I feel a little overwhelmed but starting to adjust my brain. I went down to 20 hours a week at work so I can have a little downtime on the weekend. Mostly it has been a lot of discussion boards a...

Hi, I just wanted to put in my info about this program because when I first started I was searching High and low to find out info so I knew what I was getting into. I was a traditional student for my nursing degree and went to Salt Lake Communi...

Yes, the wait to find out your future is a hard one! I did the RN to BSN program. I don’t have any info on their nursing program, I went to community college and then WGU. If it is anything like their RN-BSN program it will be great! Good luck and ke...

I work Gero psych, I have also worked with adults and peds. My experience is there are a small number in every category that are prone to violence. Hallucinations and delusions make them more prone to thinking you are the enemy Peds can be very ...

I start NKU PMHNP program 3-15 as well! I also deleted my facebook account so have not seen what is going on with that group. I am excited to start!

Your welcome! Good luck it will be over much quicker than you think!?

Hello fellow nurses, I am struggling with wanting to still be a nurse after 10 years. ( sorry if this is a bit long) I do not have the least desire to go out and apply for any nursing job and I almost feel a bit irritable when I am interviewing li...

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum, i am a nursing student at SLCC and am going to graduate in may. I was wondering what hospital is the best to work at as a new grad. I know that it is important to find a good teaching hospital as I have heard. ...

hey, I am glad that other new grads are also excited about their new jobs and are enjoying them. I am currently on the neuro unit at a peds hospital and am really liking it so far. there are a few things that are not exactly my cup of tea (like th...

Hey, I am in the exact same boat as you are right now. I just graduated, got a job at a teaching peds hospital, and am studying for boards also. It is a ton of info, but so far I am managing, and not feeling too overwhelmed ( I know that doesn't co...

Hey, I know where I live in utah they do a perkins loan through the financial aid department. You just take out the loan like you would any other student loan, but then when you have graduated they give you some paperwork to fill out so that all of...

Hello fellow nurses, Yesterday was my very last day of nursing school!!!! I thought when I got done I would just veg out. So far I have been so anxious to get stuff done that hasn't been done for so long that I could'nt hold myself back. I cleaned...

Thank you, I am so excited!!!! I am going to take boards in about a month, I need a little R&R. I am getting a temp license though. Good luck to you in the program

Good luck to you on your first day as a nurse webabyRN!!!!

It seems like every time I get out of school for the semester my husband and kids look at me like I am a stranger sitting in their living room. We always have a hard time reconnecting because they are a little bitter about me spending so much time do...

That was incredibly well put!!!

That must be very difficult, I can sympathize with you. It is hard to leave your comfort zone, but think about how hard you worked to get here. I worked at a job that I hated all through nursing school ( waiting tables) and now that I have just about...

I have high acuity, community and management. I am soooo glad that it is almost over! It has taken me a total of 6 yrs to do this and any more than 1 more semester might just send me over the deep end. CONGRATS to all that have sacraficed while every...
