  1. Looking for insight from Psych NPs

    ktliz replied to PCTerrific's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Zenman, I am going to print this out and save it for inspiration as I follow my path toward psych NP!! If you remember the admissions essay I asked you to read awhile ago-- I was rejected from the...

  2. Is the market becoming saturated with NPs??

    ktliz replied to DroogieRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Here is a recent thread on the topic:

  3. Can the NP assist in surgery?

    ktliz replied to cassowary's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Perhaps this thread will be of interest:

  4. How old were you when you finished nursing school?

    ktliz replied to pgray1229's topic in General Nursing

    I will graduate from my accelerated BSN program a few days before turning 26. It's funny. On this thread, there are nurses who graduated in their 30s, 40s and 50s. Yet when I typed that I will be...

  5. Question for preceptors re: technical skills for new grad

    ktliz replied to dudette10's topic in General Nursing

    It feels natural by your third time? You are a much faster learner than

  6. So burnt out! Any advice?

    ktliz replied to RockinChick66's topic in General Nursing

    Carol, you are SO right about women not being superwomen! The "superwoman" myth is a coping mechanism developed to deal with the stress of dealing with a family AND a career. Unfortunately, I believe...

  7. Help - I am interested in nursing but worried about the level of respect

    ktliz replied to shining_brighteyess's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a fan of Scrubs (not my type of humor), but if it's your favorite show, I wouldn't be too concerned about how it portrays nurses. I mean, look at the way it portrays

  8. Certs to set you apart from the pack?

    ktliz replied to Jmiami's topic in General Nursing

    This is the A&P book I used for my prereqs in 2008: http://www.amazon.com/Human-Anatomy-Physiology-Elaine-Marieb/dp/080535462X/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1302363895&sr=8-7 It is the 6th...

  9. snack/food idea for night shift nurses?

    ktliz replied to miniangel729's topic in General Nursing

    I had this at a baby shower recently and it was amazing! It's healthy but not tooo healthy if you know what I mean. :)

  10. Which MSN specialization is best for PsychNP? Out of the 3:

    ktliz replied to luv_n_psych_nursing's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Nursing student and future psych nurse here as well! I have found the American Psychiatric Nurses Association website to be very helpful: http://www.apna.org They have a listing of graduate programs...

  11. boredom in psych nursing

    ktliz posted a topic in Psychiatric

    Hello, amazing psych nurses! I'm a psychology major starting an accelerated BSN program this summer. Eventually I would like to pursue PMHNP, but that is a ways down the road. My question is in...

  12. Please Help! Goal Statement for Grad Sch. This is my 4th edition

    ktliz replied to shahruk's topic in General Nursing

    I will private message you my email address (not sure if you can send PMs, but you should be able to read them). Then you can email me and I will send the file to

  13. Please Help! Goal Statement for Grad Sch. This is my 4th edition

    ktliz replied to shahruk's topic in General Nursing

    Good stuff here! Your story is amazing. I did some editing, mostly for conciseness. Got it down to 866 words! Just needs a short conclusion and I added a few notes where I felt you could elaborate...

  14. Entry Masters vs BA for RN- pay, jobs, lifestyle

    ktliz replied to jwat211's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Most nursing students pursuing a second degree go the accelerated BSN route, instead of direct-entry MSN programs. I have a BS in psychology and am starting an ABSN (accel. BSN) in May. Here is my...

  15. Nurse Called Police/CPS on Parents over Jaundice

    ktliz replied to Simply Complicated's topic in General Nursing

    Since mom & baby were under the care of a certified professional midwife, I'm assuming they were transferred to the hospital from home. Perhaps this is discrimination against the family for...

  16. Accelerated bsn philadelphia

    ktliz replied to acceleratedbsn's topic in General Nursing

    I would highly recommend looking into the job market where you plan to work as an RN. Right now, the market in Philly is fierce for new grads. It's very difficult to find a job as a new grad BSN;...

  17. Accelerated bsn philadelphia

    ktliz replied to acceleratedbsn's topic in General Nursing

    Drexel has the shortest BSN program in the country--11 months. With your GPA, you should be accepted as long as you have a high pre-req GPA. The list of pre-reqs is here:...

  18. Is nursing "care" a thing of the past?

    ktliz replied to AnneBlunnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Isn't it the nurse's responsibility to advocate for his/her patients? If the patient's pain was not under control, shouldn't the nurse pursue orders for more appropriate pain

  19. Do men in healthcare suffer from burnout?

    ktliz replied to Pigeons's topic in General Nursing

    As I stated in my first post, I have no hard evidence whatsoever to back this up. It's just an idea I was throwing out there. The few men in my nursing class all have solid reason to become nurses--...

  20. Do men in healthcare suffer from burnout?

    ktliz replied to Pigeons's topic in General Nursing

    Some women become nurses purely because it's seen as a respectable career that brings home the bacon. A man who is just looking for a paycheck isn't likely to turn to nursing. True,

  21. Do men in healthcare suffer from burnout?

    ktliz replied to Pigeons's topic in General Nursing

    Could it be that men need to overcome the social stigma that nursing is a woman's job, so therefore men in nursing are generally REALLY sure that they want to be a nurse. I doubt any man wakes up one...

  22. I got into USI but....

    ktliz replied to canchaser's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What is the difference between the FT and PT programs? 2 years vs 4 years? I say, those extra couple years will go faster than you think, especially if you are both working and going to school. Take...

  23. Mobile Apps at work/clinicals

    ktliz replied to CNA2bRN13's topic in General Nursing

  24. MD vs DO

    ktliz replied to Mulan's topic in General Nursing

    My family practice DO is the best! I couldn't ask for a more helpful doc. Before I lost my insurance and started going to Planned Parenthood, my ob/gyn was a DO as well. I have a theory that DOs are...

  25. Mobile Apps at work/clinicals

    ktliz replied to CNA2bRN13's topic in General Nursing

    My primary doc and PA have both looked up meds in drug books during my appointments, and it never made me uncomfortable. Both times they discussed the treatment with me and then told me what they were...
