  1. UVA- I need some therapy(advice)

    jkpowell23 replied to jkpowell23's topic in Post Graduate Students

    You should call! He was very helpful. Things didn't work out for me, but perhaps you may wind up there! It sounds like a great program! Good luck!

  2. Dealing With Animosity

    jkpowell23 replied to Tait's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I agree, it's jealousy. Who doesn't want better for themselves? The thing is, most people don't want to take on the time and effort required. So they hate on those that do. Keep your head up and know...

  3. Advanced Degree; Need some seasoned advice :)

    jkpowell23 replied to NYCRN6's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Just want to give you a bit of my story (a work in progress). I'm several thousand dollars and a year into my FNP. Now, after a lot of soul searching, I have changed my mind. So, I am attempting to...

  4. University of Cincinnati Online FNP Program

    jkpowell23 replied to Svobodah's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    rmicu, I've been at USA since last fall, but this will be my first semester of clinicals (I was in part time, and have taken 2 classes each semester including summer). I'd say that the classes were...

  5. Attire for clinicals

    jkpowell23 replied to lweatherby's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Our school has instructed me to wear 'dress' clothing (skirts, slacks, nothing open toed or without sleeves) and a 30-32" lab coat. Anyone got any recommendation for comfy shoes? I wear Danskos on the...

  6. PMHNP

    jkpowell23 replied to Zaphod's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    University of South Alabama does indeed have a PMHNP program. They will not admit you without 2 years psych experience. I've tried. They only require that you attend an orientation at the beginning...

  7. About to start clinicals... A little freaked out!

    jkpowell23 replied to jkpowell23's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Ok, I think this will be my 15th post, and if I remember correctly, I will be able to finally send a PM!! Woot woot!! Anyhow, BlessedX3, watch for a message from me, because I am in need of your help...

  8. University of Cincinnati Online FNP Program

    jkpowell23 replied to Svobodah's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    rmicu, I also looked at University of Cincinnati for Psych NP and found it too cost prohibitive. Have you looked at University of South Alabama? I'm enrolled there now. I'm paying approx $344 per...

  9. PMHNP in Private Practice

    jkpowell23 replied to NHGN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Eliza, I don't have any advice, but I could have written portions of your post. I would LOVE to work with PTSD patients, but some aspects of psych do freak me out. I am currently in the FNP program,...

  10. About to start clinicals... A little freaked out!

    jkpowell23 replied to jkpowell23's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm just seeing these replies, as I've been working and sick. Thanks so much, this is all great advice! Blessed X3, I'd love some of your advice, however, I'm still not allowed to send PM's. I guess I...

  11. Psych nurse practitioner

    jkpowell23 replied to bumblebeegaga's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm in the middle of a FNP program and was looking at the government job listings... They were mainly Psych NP jobs! The PsychNP jobs were paying more than any of the others too (about 90k). If you're...

  12. Tools of the trade?

    jkpowell23 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Ok, I'll admit... I'm a bit of a technophobe. So is my hubby. We just got texting capabilities on our cellphones! (only because our 17 year old and 12 year old were begging like maniacs). ANYWAY, I'm...

  13. Question for Psych-Mental Health NPs

    jkpowell23 replied to aurora155's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am seriously considering switching my course of studies from FNP to Psych NP. I've got 5 years of nursing experience, none of it in psych. Does this put me at an extreme disadvantage? Also, how is...

  14. Need a FNP!

    jkpowell23 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm writing a paper for my Advanced Practice Roles class. Is anyone willing to do an email type interview? I do have to turn in contact info (if that matters). If so please let me know, it would...

    Really need some help!! Here is a copy of the interview if there are any takers!! Thank you again for considering! (the synergy diagram would not post within this forum, but would gladly email this in...

  16. Work rant

    jkpowell23 replied to nursetim's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    No, you're not being a petulant child. You are being thrown into something that you weren't expecting. Any reasonable adult would protest! A child would have thrown a hissy fit right there on the...

  17. Women's Health NP

    jkpowell23 replied to blueindigo79's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Though WH is my love, I'm currently in FNP school. The PNP and WHNP jobs around here are scarce. Obviously, I vote FNP. Give yourself some wiggle room! I will probably go back for a post master's cert...
