  1. Hi there AmyBoggs, Thank you for responding. When patients return for their results, how do you bill that? Just as a medication
  2. Offered a new job after only 3 months at current job

    Well, that may be your answer . . . the fact that you did not like LTC. However, how many times have we worked jobs for reasons other than liking them (insurance, pay, hours, etc.)? If you do wind up...
  3. UMET @ Interamerican- Fall 2014

    You go
  4. PMHNP Job Offer

    I wanted to add a few things to that list...some of which I have been running into months after beginning my contract. 21. Will the organization contribute funds towards completion of your CEU...
  5. Pmhnp hiring question

    Hi harmonizer, Please PM me if you come across anything in Telepsychiatry. I have been desperately searching myself. I was told by a recruiter once that opportunities are rare and therefore reserved...
  6. UMET @ Interamerican- Fall 2014

    I would like to encourage anyone considering the Interamericana to seriously think about it before attending. I have a friend who is set to graduate and she recently revealed that she can literally...
  7. Capstone Project Example

    Greetings, I know all programs are different, but does anyone know where I can find an example of a completed DNP capstone project to review?
  8. Greetings, Can anyone elaborate on the circumstances of challenging relationships you may have with medical doctors in the workplace and how you deal with it? I have become aware of complaints to the...
  9. Challenging Relationships with Doctors

    I work Psych. This sort of thing probably never happens in Primary Care,
  10. Capstone Project Example

    Thanks. I have not started my online program yet. Just wanted to see if there was something I could review online to give me an idea of what's ahead. I have completed a Master's thesis before and am...
  11. Challenging Relationships with Doctors

    Well, it is official. My organization is actively trying to get rid of the doctors and replace them with salaried nurse practitioners. They only intend to keep one to serve as our collaborator and...
  12. Which specialty compensated the most financially?

    People frequently mention Psych, however where you work (State and setting) and what you negotiate matters too. I think that Psych NPs that work inpatient drug rehab that exclusively accept Medicare...
  13. PMHNP: Safety

    It is not so much an "underserved" population but the "mentally unstable." To be honest, if someone wanted to hurt my colleagues and I ... we would be sitting ducks. The director once remarked: "Well,...
  14. Who should pay DEA fees?

    My employer paid for my DEA registration, something I negotiated for. However, I have no CME funds or days. Something I wish I would have thought to
  15. Drug Rep Hassles

    I like the drug reps. Went to my first drug rep dinner the other night and enjoyed myself. They do seem to come around at the most inopportune times though, but then again there is no real good time...
  16. How many ARNPs get administrative time?

    This is still a relevant issue. I get no administrative time either like the OP. However, there are quite a bit of "no shows" which allows me time to complete charting. But I almost always finish...
  17. Psychiatric Nurse NP without R.N. experience

    I know I am not answering your question specifically, but you should try to get some nursing experience even if it is not in Psych. Nursing builds character, independence and confidence. Hope I don't...
  18. Tele-health for Psych? Opinions & Info Please

    Are there any Psych NPs doing
  19. Tainted by corrections work?

    I don't know what type of APN you are, but if you do Psych I would consider your corrections experience to be the creme de la creme. Just about everyone I see at my CMHA has been to jail or prison....
  20. My obamacare experience

    With the application deadline concluding for the ACA today, I was wondering for those that work Psych if you've seen any changes in your practice areas?
  21. RN to DNP or MSN?

    Hi lexnurse26, The difficulty I experienced in regards to role confusion was that while in clinicals I was considered a leader, a go-to person for patient issues. If staff could not reach the doctor,...
  22. RN to DNP or MSN?

    This is a highly personal choice. However, I am very glad that I decided to do the MSN first. I was truly burnt out and needed my program to be over when it was. A year after graduation I applied to a...
  23. Challenging Relationships with Doctors

    The situation was causing me so much anxiety that I went straight to the top to inquire about my job security. The director told me not to worry, my job was safe, my billing more than covers my...
  24. DNP seems like a waste...

    I agree with previous posters about the DNP being highly political. It definitely is. It is almost as if there are these invisible gatekeeper committees, invisible to me anyway, who sit around and...
  25. DNP/PhD Study

    I understand the difference between the two. I would like to know of one's personal motivation if they are willing to
