    mtsteelhorse replied to Nguyenchester's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  7. Books for Advanced Pathophysiology

  8. Family NP vs Psychiatric NP..whose more favorable / marketable

    mtsteelhorse replied to TipSimmons's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Ultimately you need to decide what area you are most passionate about. I am in a PMHNP program. Marketability is, in part, due to your location. Are you able to relocate after graduation? Do you feel...

  13. I dislike nursing but love therapy--PMHNP or LMHC?

    mtsteelhorse replied to Neohippy's topic in Psychiatric

    PMHNPs can bill for therapy. You can definitely carve a niche for yourself as well as manage meds. I think the ER is one of the more dangerous environments in health care. Go for what you're...

  15. Let me ask sort of a blunt question

    mtsteelhorse replied to elmonorojo's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I get where you're coming from...completely. I left the hospital scene because I was spoiled by a wonderful hospital in another state. When I moved I was shocked by exactly what you're referring to in...
