  1. Greetings, Does anyone know how inpatient psychiatric compensation works? A psychiatrist has offered me an opportunity to join his inpatient medical group at a local hospital. He asked me directly how...
  2. Best schools for DNP-psychiatry?

    Rush does not offer a post-MSN DNP program in Psychiatry. I just phoned and checked this out for myself
  3. Hi Zack, What program did you decide upon? I am looking into UM Flint now.
  4. UMET @ Interamerican- Fall 2014

    If you need catalogs, the admissions official will let you know. Also, do you know someone already there? That is truly the best way to follow the progress of your application. Puerto Rico is very...
  5. Case Western Reserve University

    I have recently applied to the MSN Psych NP program at CWRU. Does any have any experience with the application process, being admitted or denied, financial aid (is it just loans?), and the program...
  6. Can you get into NP school with BS in emergency health services

    They have a FNP direct entry program for ADNs. They call them "bridge" programs. When I was applying to schools I literally checked out every school in the country, one by one, of those that offered...
  7. PMHNP Job Offer

    Hi there, You may want to consider the following points (not in any order of importance): 1. What is your general patient population? Were you hired to tend to a specific subpopulation? If so, why? 2....
  8. Doctorate in a field other than nursing?

    I say go for it! I have a MPH and have been considering a doctorate in public health as opposed to nursing. Looks like you are interested in Anthropology. You may want to take a look at CONAA--the...
  9. Does psych nursing affect ur home life?

    Working in psychiatric/mental health does affect my family life only in the sense that I worry about my children and their development, so much more as opposed to when I worked Med/Surg, because I see...
  10. psych nursing in PR

    Puerto Rico does not recognize APNs. In fact, there is no APN license. The nursing license you would secure is for a RN and you will eventually test for that although you can get a temporary permit at...
  11. Nursing in Ireland

    Are you a nursing graduate originating from the US? If so, there is a way you can work in Ireland on your American nursing license for one company at
  12. UMET @ Interamerican- Fall 2014

    Wow, that was a wonderful opportunity! How blessed you are. I might have gotten $500 in scholarships. Otherwise, I had to pay the whole thing in cash. As far as working after graduation, I did not...
  13. UMET @ Interamerican- Fall 2014

    Oh, one other thing . . . I don't know about you Jen_Jen88, but I graduated with no nursing school debt unlike many of my colleagues. My tuition was $150 per credit. The degree cost me less than $12K...
  14. UMET @ Interamerican- Fall 2014

    Yeah, the VA was by far my favorite clinical site. Practically all my professors were from UMET. They were picking up extra work by working at la Inter. I miss Puerto Rico, but I lived in such abject...
  15. UMET @ Interamerican- Fall 2014

    Yeah, the one nice thing about nursing professors in Puerto Rico is that they really, really want you to be successful. I cannot relate at all to the horror stories from nurses that studied in the...
  16. UMET @ Interamerican- Fall 2014

    I finished in 15 months at la Interamericana by taking classes in English and Spanish. Now, I already had a BA and had no general education requirements so it was all nursing classes. No one decided...
  17. I agree. However, the reality is that it is VERY difficult to get in the VA. There is literally a waiting list of applicants AND it cannot really be done online. You have to physically be present to...
  18. Are you sure that's what you want to
  19. UMET @ Interamerican- Fall 2014

    No matter which program you choose, be absolutely certain to inquire about clinical hours and sites. Are students actually being sent to clinical sites at hospitals? If so, for how many hours each...
  20. Seriously consider UM. You do not want the added stress and loss of productivity time traveling to clinicals. It might prove to be too much. Good luck to
  21. I HAVE A LOW GPA

    Maybe this might best be posted under the Pre-NP or Student NP
  22. Hate being an RN

    Your title resonated with me because I did not like being a RN either. In fact, I knew before I went to nursing school that I wanted to be an APN. I started my nursing career in Latin America where MD...
  23. Help with Nurse Practitioner License

    Thanks for responding. Just quickly, would you recommend sending both applications together or the RN
  24. Help with Nurse Practitioner License

    Does the is 4-6 week processing frame include the RN license endorsement too?
  25. Am I really a NP if I do laser hair removal?

    Do you enjoy your job? That's the million dollar question. However, for me . . . you said the magic phrase: "the pay is wonderful." Blessings don't always come wrapped up the way we think they
