  1. How to get an RN job in HOUSTON

    PMHNP10 replied to lifein08's topic in Texas Nursing

    I wish I could help you right now, but I think that in part it depends on who you know, unfortunately. I'm praying for just an interview to this one place and am getting nada. Finally I got a name...

  2. Nurses Make The Big Bucks

    PMHNP10 replied to NewTexasRN's topic in General Nursing

    "Make The Big Bucks" little makes me cringe more than that

  3. Travelling Nurse--new grads welcome?

    PMHNP10 replied to buffalowing81's topic in General Nursing

    and given all of the responses saying minimal qualifications to be a travel nurse and the reasons for those qualifications, if a travel agency has an assignment for you and the hospital is willing to...

  4. Job Switch??

    PMHNP10 replied to 4tnerzwife's topic in General Nursing

    It's fascinating how life happens. I am in that job folks go to who want to get away from the floor--regular hrs., regular days off, less danger to your license and consequently, less pay. I've been...

  5. I can not believe it!

    PMHNP10 replied to AdrianLU's topic in Texas Nursing

    Welcome to the university. Are you going to be in the generic BSN program or the

  6. safe harbor

    PMHNP10 replied to calliesue's topic in General Nursing

    perhaps, but I've also heard people say that signing paperwork where you acknowledge you are taking an unsafe assignment is like putting a nice watch in your pocket that you didn't pay for and...

  7. exercising/working out on work days

    PMHNP10 replied to beachbum3's topic in General Nursing

    I don't work nights nor 12s, unfortunately; I work M-F 9-5 and wake up at 5ish to get to the gym where I do a half hr. cardio (today I jogged on a treadmill, somethimes I do a stair climber, sometimes...

  8. Perpetuating the myths

    PMHNP10 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was just thinking about some rumors/false information that we hear before, during, or after nursing school that we believe only to find out our beliefs were wrong. I'll give a couple examples: 1. I...

  9. Phys. Exam/Diff. Dx. class

    PMHNP10 replied to PMHNP10's topic in Post Graduate Students

    ah...finally a willing poster I believe the one I'll be taking will be 1x/wk, 2 hrs lecture, 3 hrs lab (where we do the exams). It'll consist of weekly writeups/papers, 3 or 4 exams, and of course a...

  10. Phys. Exam/Diff. Dx. class

    PMHNP10 posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    what does your class consist of--hrs. in class/lab, tests, papers, writeups, etc.? since it's arguably the most important class you'll take in your NP program, it should reasonably not be an easy...

  11. Perpetuating the myths

    PMHNP10 replied to PMHNP10's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I could add this one...I thought that if you had a stroke and actually survived, life was pretty much over. Little did I know, recovery is possible, although not a sure thing even with the...

  12. Perpetuating the myths

    PMHNP10 replied to PMHNP10's topic in General Nursing

    excellent one...it would take nearly a full line of air to cause

  13. Perpetuating the myths

    PMHNP10 replied to PMHNP10's topic in General Nursing

    pagandeva sounds like you are a victim of the info available at that time rather a rumor per se...another example is with chest compressions and CPR; initially it was different for kids and adults,...

  14. pregnancy and night shift

    PMHNP10 replied to beachbum3's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked my first nursing job, which was on nights, one of my coworkers was pregnant and she did well working until about a week before the birth. My wife also works nights and she had some...

  15. Perpetuating the myths

    PMHNP10 replied to PMHNP10's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you. Hopefully I will have unprecedented success with this thread at garnering responses (my threads tend not to gain much discussion) because i too think it could be very valuable (and fun for...

  16. Perpetuating the myths

    PMHNP10 replied to PMHNP10's topic in General Nursing

    o goodie...I get to bust the myth http://www.nsna.org/pubs/imprint/jan05/jan_NCLEX.PDF go to page 40 (p. 3 of the PDF); left column under: "Are some candidates chosen at random to answer 265...

  17. Phys. Exam/Diff. Dx. class

    PMHNP10 replied to PMHNP10's topic in Post Graduate Students

    it's been a week; so noone is/has taken this class? is it not a standard class (although the name may vary) for every aspiring CNS or

  18. Getting your need from someone else.

    PMHNP10 replied to Pocahontas98_21's topic in General Nursing

    I honestly don't know. My initial response would be to say I'd just stick with masterbation to "feed that need". On the other hand, there is no replacement for that 1 on 1 sexual contact; but then...

  19. "weed-out" classes

    PMHNP10 replied to PMHNP10's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Your assumption is correct. So maybe "weed out" isn't the correct terminology. I used the term because I've heard the PE/DD course at the school I'll be attending described as such and figured this...

  20. "weed-out" classes

    PMHNP10 posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    what class at your school is generally considered the most difficult (I know, with so many to choose from, why limit it to 1)? why is it so

  21. Wages

    PMHNP10 replied to Jules A's topic in Psychiatric

    I think it very much depends on where you practice...If you are on a psych floor within a hospital you will likely be paid as much as the other floor nurses; if, however, you go to a freestanding...

  22. Anyone pay cash for NP school?

    PMHNP10 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Problem being that I'll be starting the PMHNP program in September--registered for my classes today:yeah:. My intention is to go job hunting in October while I'm off for the baby...just gotta hold on...

  23. Good Looking Enough to be a Nurse?

    PMHNP10 replied to casey1988's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a bit concerned about this entire thread, from the OPs very real disorder and all the symptoms that go along with it, to some of the responses that seem to be minimizing or making light of the OPs...

  24. Insomnia meds for psych patients?

    PMHNP10 replied to medsurgrnco's topic in Psychiatric

    how do your pts. like lunesta? is rozerem new? how is

  25. Not so random thoughts for number 1000

    PMHNP10 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Man, I've waited a long time for this, but now is the time for my 2nd official installment of random thoughts--except they aren't so random this time. I say official because just about every post I...
