  1. What are your views on Critical Psychiatry?

    satyadhi posted a topic in Psychiatric

    I was reading about psych nursing and psychiatry in general and I came across the whole anti-psychiatry movement and I agreed with some of there criticisms of psychiatry in their day, but as a whole I...

  2. Are there any psych areas which will keep other non-psych nursing skills sharp?

    satyadhi posted a topic in Psychiatric

    Is there any way I can do both psych and something else at the same time? I like the sound of psych, but I also like the sound of other non-psych areas of nursing. Eventually I want to be both a psych...

  3. How often do addiction nurses deal with physical problems?

    satyadhi posted a topic in Addictions

    How often do addiction nurses deal with physical problems? I think psych nursing sounds interesting (although I haven't had my psych nursing class yet), but my problem with psych nursing is that you...

  4. How often do addiction nurses deal with physical problems?

    satyadhi replied to satyadhi's topic in Addictions

    Thanks everyone! I guess I was a bit fearful that if I did psych that I would never use my other med-surg type skills, I'm glad to have that fear proven wrong. There is just so money areas of nursing...

  5. Can anyone become a nurse? When do I give up on being a nurse?

    satyadhi posted a topic in General Students

    I just don't seem to be doing very well in nursing school despite having an excellent GPA before being accepted into the nursing program. I really love nursing, but I just don't seem to be very good...

  6. Can anyone become a nurse? When do I give up on being a nurse?

    satyadhi replied to satyadhi's topic in General Students

    Thanks everyone... I'm not ready to give up quite yet, but I'm trying to be realistic too. I guess the idea of doing anything else with my life besides nursing makes me feel guilty, after all the time...

  8. How hard is it to find a rural nursing job in Arizona in a farming community

    satyadhi replied to satyadhi's topic in Arizona Nursing

    hmmm... From what I've read Arizona has some pretty fertile land, the main problem is the lack of water. I've read you can grow just about anything in Arizona (maybe not on a commercial level) as long...

    satyadhi posted a topic in Psychiatric

    Right now I am enrolled in a RN/associates program and eventually hope to get my DNP and become a family nurse pactitioner as well as a psychiatric/mental health nurse practitioner. I am really...

  10. How hard is it to find a neuropsychiatric unit?

    satyadhi replied to satyadhi's topic in Psychiatric

    In what ways are they challenging? I think the challenge will be worth it, because a few years later when I become an NP I should have some very sharp skills, and not to mention this area of nursing...

  11. How hard is it to find a neuropsychiatric unit?

    satyadhi replied to satyadhi's topic in Psychiatric

    I think the only thing better than working in a neuropsych unit would be working in a neuropsych rehab unit, which would qualify me to sit for neuroscience, rehab, and psych

  13. Can a home health nurse specialize in neurology?

    satyadhi posted a topic in Home Health

    Can a home health nurse specialize in neurology? Assuming I have at least 2 years experience working on a neuro unit could I go to a home health agency asking for mostly neuro patients? I have heard...

  14. Is it reasonably possible to have two NP specialties?

    satyadhi posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I was curious if it was reasonably possible to be both a family nurse practitioner and a psychiatric nurse practitioner. I would like to deal with both psych and non-psych patients. I am only a...

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

    Ok, that souns very possible. Thanks so much... if I can get into this program one day then that will cut about 3 years off my studies. Do you know if any other colleges off this kind of degree? I...

  16. Can a home health nurse specialize in neurology?

    satyadhi replied to satyadhi's topic in Home Health

    Ok, thanks. Would it be possible to work with both psych and non-psych home health patients at least? What about if someone was interested in family health, could they deal with both peds and

  17. Is it reasonably possible to have two NP specialties?

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

    Thanks! I will definitely look into that! Do you know if they are hard to get accepted into? I do rather well academically, but I admit nursing school is very hard for

  18. Are there any psych areas which will keep other non-psych nursing skills sharp?

    satyadhi replied to satyadhi's topic in Psychiatric

    Ok, just wanted to make sure I would get a variety of experiences... I guess geropsych it is then, or at least that is my plan when I become an

  19. Are there any psych areas which will keep other non-psych nursing skills sharp?

    satyadhi replied to satyadhi's topic in Psychiatric

    I don't see myself specializing in geriatrics long term, but I admit I have always felt compassion for the elderly. Sometimes I feel like the nurses at nursing homes are too busy, and just kind of...

  20. Are there any psych areas which will keep other non-psych nursing skills sharp?

    satyadhi replied to satyadhi's topic in Psychiatric

    How hard is it to find a med-psych unit anyway? That would be a great fit I

  21. Any opportunities for civilian volunteer nurses?

    satyadhi posted a topic in Government, Military

    I can not join the military due to medical and religious reasons, and to be honest I do not want to join the military anyway, but I would like to do my part so I thought maybe I could volunteer one...

  22. Is it reasonably possible to have two NP specialties?

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

    Yeah, that is why I want to mix some psych into my nursing! I like the other nursing stuff too, but I think having some psych will give me a more well rounded career. I get to care for both body and...

  23. Any opportunities for civilian volunteer nurses?

    satyadhi replied to satyadhi's topic in Government, Military

    Well, from what I have read there is still controversy over whether baptised Sikhs can serve in the military, they have made exceptions, but some still oppose the

  24. Any opportunities for civilian volunteer nurses?

  25. Is it reasonably possible to have two NP specialties?

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

    Ok, thanks. I think I prefer the NP role to the CNS role, but they are kind of similar too. I plan to eventually spend most of my time in home health, which from what I've read seems better for NP...
