  1. Vanderbilt AG-ACNP program

    SydneyJo1 replied to jackpp's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm in the PMHNP program. Vanderbilt is a great school. I think you will really like it. Good luck!

  2. Vanderbilt AG-ACNP program

    SydneyJo1 replied to jackpp's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I go to Vanderbilt. If all your other qualifications are good, and yours sound great, the GRE alone will most likely not be an issue. They look at the total package, and they really place a lot of...

  3. Major in Fashion Design and then go to Med School?

    SydneyJo1 replied to Mell101's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Where is all this anger coming from? From what I can see people are just giving you advice, which you asked for. And I am not sure what it is that you are standing up for? If it is the right to...

  4. Major in Fashion Design and then go to Med School?

    SydneyJo1 replied to Mell101's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    No....it is the word nurse that's the problem. CNAs are not

  5. Major in Fashion Design and then go to Med School?

    SydneyJo1 replied to Mell101's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Ok, this is not intended as snark in any way, but if you are a CNA, you aren't a nurse. If you say that you are a nurse around actual nurses, they might hurt you, so be careful. As far as majors, I...

  6. Vanderbilt University RN Pre-Specialty Program

    SydneyJo1 replied to woodjp's topic in Advanced Practice

    There were a lot of papers, and also several group projects/presentations and postings on discussion

  7. Vanderbilt University RN Pre-Specialty Program

    SydneyJo1 replied to woodjp's topic in Advanced Practice

    I did the RN Pre-Specialty program part-time while working full-time. It is intense and a ton of work. Many of my classmates worked full-time while completing the program full-time, but I know that...

  8. Can PMHNPs bill for psychotherapy?

    SydneyJo1 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am having s debate with a colleague. He swears that PMHNPs do not do therapy, just med management and cannot bill for therapy. Is this

  9. Can PMHNPs bill for psychotherapy?

    SydneyJo1 replied to SydneyJo1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Does it depend at all what state you are in? Or is it pretty much the same across the board? I want to be sure I am completely right...

  10. Traditional Textbooks or eBooks (iPad)

    SydneyJo1 replied to hik9258's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Which document app did you use, Jenniferm1023? I just got an ipad a few months ago and am still trying to learn all the stuff I can do with

  11. Who attends (or attended )SLU's online NP program?

    SydneyJo1 posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    If you are attending SLU's online NP program or are a graduate, can you please share some of your thoughts and experiences with the program? I am looking at either the FNP or ANP programs. Any and...

  12. Is postpartum a lower stress specialty?

    SydneyJo1 replied to studentnurse9806's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I began working nights on Mom/Baby right out of nursing school, so I've been doing it just over a year now. Like you, I did not enjoy my Med/Surg clinicals AT ALL and really didn't want to have to...

  13. FNP or WHNP

    SydneyJo1 replied to mnbrn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Obviously that particular FNP program would make one very well versed in women's health. I wish the FNP at my school included that much women's health content, but there is literally ONE CREDIT....

  14. FNP or WHNP

    SydneyJo1 replied to mnbrn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am in a WHNP program, and I considered switching to FNP because of all the postings I've seen on here about how limited the WHNP is compared to FNP. I talked to the director of the FNP program at...

  15. Cherokee Flexible Scrub Top

    SydneyJo1 replied to LPres's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'd say they run a little big. Mine haven't shrunk, but I always wash them in cold water and only dry them until they are just a little damp. I love them! They are probably my favorite

  16. Where should I look for WHNP jobs?

    SydneyJo1 replied to lenac1122's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I've heard that Washington state is an excellent place for NPs. It seems like it would be a great place to live if you like the outdoors as well. Just a

  17. New Grad...need help dealing with super negative staff!

    SydneyJo1 replied to ZenStudent's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am a new grad, too, and I find that the majority of the nurses on my unit are very negative and love to complain about every little thing. The way I look at is that they have just forgotten how...

  18. Dayshifters - do you take a breakfast break as soon as you get to work?

    SydneyJo1 replied to Snugglibumkins's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. I would never begrudge anyone a break, but when the break occurs upon walking in the door, makes me have to wait around to give report after I've worked all night, or seems to be the...

  19. Assessments on 11-7

    SydneyJo1 replied to NoahscoopsRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't work in LTC, but I do work from 11-7:30. I get report, and immediately round and do my assessments so I am done by about midnight. I find that if I do it right away, it is not TOO late and...

  20. Dayshifters - do you take a breakfast break as soon as you get to work?

    SydneyJo1 replied to Snugglibumkins's topic in General Nursing

    The breakfast breaks I am referring to with my co-workers are seriously 30-45 minutes, and they are taken IN ADDITION to a 30-45 minute lunch break, and regardless of how busy the unit is or whether...

  21. Dayshifters - do you take a breakfast break as soon as you get to work?

    SydneyJo1 replied to Snugglibumkins's topic in General Nursing

    There are people on my unit who take a LONG break every morning at about 9:00am to eat breakfast, and then take their usual 30 minute lunch break about noon. I have to say, this irritates me to no...

  22. Do any of the nurses here working 40 hr weeks and going to school, have children?

    SydneyJo1 replied to Glowinthedark's topic in General Nursing

    I work full-time nights (five 8 hour shifts per week, plus call) and I am going to grad school part-time (6-7 credits a semester). I have two school aged kids in lot of after school activities, and...

  23. What do I do after my clinical instructor told me I will never be a good nurse?

    SydneyJo1 replied to starrys's topic in General Students

    Did this person give you any reason for this statement or any suggestions for things you can do to improve? If not, that sounds like an unprofessional, unfounded load of garbage and you should try to...

    SydneyJo1 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    I completely understand that to you, living in a college environment, there seems to be a vast difference between you as a junior and students who are freshman or sophomores. However, to the rest of...
