  1. Average nurse/patient ratio?

    meeep replied to annak92's topic in Psychiatric

  2. Question to all nurses who work in Psych

    meeep replied to VegGal's topic in Psychiatric

    I work in inpatient acute psych. We occasionally will have patients with IV's, but it's typically only the sickest catatonic patients receiving fluids or an ativan challenge. For the most part, we do...

  3. 5 Smart Goals

    meeep replied to Susan Pennington's topic in Psychiatric

  7. RN career development path

    meeep replied to SparkMaster's topic in Nursing Career

    Has she looked into becoming an ND (naturopathic doctor) at all? That seems more suited than the NP role for her interests and

  8. Report process

    meeep replied to Tomi90's topic in Psychiatric

    I work in a 25 bed locked acute unit. We have a group report at the start of the shift with all the oncoming nurses/techs and charge RN. The charge RN goes over the highlights of the unit, any...

  11. Suggestions and Tips for RN-BC PMHN Certification

    meeep replied to EWachacha's topic in Psychiatric

    I took it recently and it wasn't too bad. There were a few pretty detailed questions that weren't covered in the book, but oh well, I still passed. I used the mometrix book posted above as well as the...

  13. Staffing Ratios

    meeep replied to Tigerlily8's topic in Psychiatric

    I work for a private, not for profit hospital on a locked, acute psych unit and our ratios are almost always 1:3. Sometimes we are 1:4 if we are short but have never gone higher than that. Mood...

  14. Emory is it really worth the money?

    meeep replied to bamwife06's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Most BSN grads I know have gotten jobs in the units they wanted, regardless of school attended. I do not think it is something unique to

  15. Piedmont Residency Fall 2016

    meeep replied to Etomidating's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Piedmont is one of the last of the area hospitals to open applications for their residency, so you may end up in a position of not knowing when other hospitals have already made offers. My suggestion...

  16. Gordon State College Nursing Program Spring 2015 Hopefuls

    meeep replied to Moon Pie's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Look up categorical syllogism examples and quizzes. Almost the entire CT test consists of these! If you have taking a logic, critical thinking, or math modeling course, you will be somewhat familiar...

    meeep replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Georgia Nursing

  19. Georgia Baptist College of Nursing Fall 2015

    meeep replied to ClassyNurse17's topic in School, College Programs

    Do you think your summer grades will bring you up to a 3.0? I think they do require that as a minimum, but you could email admissions and ask. If you have extenuating circumstances and your...

    meeep replied to ClassyNurse17's topic in School, College Programs

    Jayleen, a 3.5 is fine. What is your overall. Mercer does not just look at GPA. They look at the whole package of what makes you, YOU. They place a lot of emphasis on the essay. You can send in...

  23. MSW to PMHNP/FNP (dangerous ideas!)

    meeep replied to NuggetsHuman's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The argument I have always heard is that the entirety of a pmhnp clinical hours are spent in psych, vs a PA's more generalist

  24. MSW to PMHNP/FNP (dangerous ideas!)

    meeep replied to NuggetsHuman's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Really? (Genuinely curious, not being sassy!) All of the PA's I have spoken to have told me if you want to do psych, go for NP over PA. Care to

  25. Any additional books you recommend?

    meeep replied to twss2323's topic in General Students

    The nursing school thrive guide is a little better than the porter Thomas book imo. If you can afford it, they're both OK reads
