Should be lot's of threads here with info you need. I'd respond but I'm in the middle of a move and should be passing out here in the heat any minute….

Contact the board of nursing for the FINAL and MOST appropriate answers to your questions.

You probably forgot to do a search to find the other 789 posts just like yours. This is perhaps the reason for few responses to your post. But I shall give it a shot. Depends on your experience and your perspective as well as the school. You stud...

Actually your name is very appropriate. In fact you probably don't even realize how appropriate it is. NPs are one solution to the MD shortage. I think you forget that the term "labor" doesn't always mean that, for example, you are picking fruit, but...

Thank God for Jack Daniels....

Can we sign if we don't live in TX but would if NPs become independent?

Why don't you ask a psychic?

Cost of living there is probably way up there also.

You should really like anything you do or you'll burn out quicker. I plan on doing psych till I die at my desk or they make me leave.

I'll help you, and you can be sure I'm for real!

I went through Rush University but it is now a DNP program. I started while living in Bangladesh and Thailand. Did some clinical in Okinawa and came to Texas to finish up.

I'm glad you're effective as we need you to come over and stop veterans from killing themselves. In psych we barely know how the brain works, how our meds work, why they work, they cause side effects, sometimes are barely better than placebo, etc, et...

When you say this you must also include, The same goes for modern Western medicine.” 80 percent of non-randomized studies (by far the most common type) turn out to be wrong, as do 25 percent of supposedly gold-standard randomized trials, and as muc...

For the most part we used same textbooks as in med school. I'd steer clear of any management and research fluff course unless you actually intend to survive or do evidence-based medicine.

Just as i thought….

Well, that makes 2 people who seem to be confused!

Sigh…so sad. Now ask yourself where in my comment did you come up with your entire 1st paragraph as it has nothing to do with my comment. Playing with dead people is not good experience for psych period.

A cadaver is a waste of time for me. I practice on real people. And I do not want to practice like a physician, and you might not either, if you listen to patient's complaints.

Interesting that you would find my post very belitting and sarcastic especially since you posted which most would take to mean that you never plan to use much of what you did in health assessment. Now you clarify that you do not plan on doing phys...

"Let me start at the end of this thread and see if I can get through it with any nausea medication." This thread, not your post.

Did someone forget to tell you that a great many mental health patients have physical problems? That's why I do a complete ROS with every new patient and followup every visit for any new problems. That means you need to know all physical conditions t...

Let me start at the end of this thread and see if I can get through it with any nausea medication. I do 30 minute sessions with both meds and therapy. The most important part of any therapy is the therapeutic relationship…look it up. Kinda of a bum...

Some of the Chinese acupuncturists I used to work with were M.D.s in China. On their business card they would put "M.D. (China)" after their name. This was in Texas.

I barely caught a glimpse of a blue and white polka dot dress as the medics entered the only available room in the Emergency Department. It was the usual busy evening and thankfully, she didn't seem to be in too bad of a shape. Walking quickly into t...

Check out his other books also. They are all great.
