  1. DEA license

    t2krookie replied to charlie1234's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Instead of creating yet another thread I thought I'd ask: How long did it take for you to receive your DEA after applying? The main question here has me imagining that mine took longer due to my...

  2. Lifestyle/ what to expect

    t2krookie replied to lolalola1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    LOL!! You still have that unique perspective :) Well sir, you may not remember me but I leaned on your advice these past two years and graduated last month. I'd appreciate your advice again seeing as...

  4. Anyone know about PMHNP to Psy.d/Ph.d?

    t2krookie replied to 91W's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yeah, back in the day when California would allow such a challenge. Unfortunately they no longer extend that bridge if my information is correct. I didn't have enough time in MOS to challenge and by...

  5. Psych NP - peds

    t2krookie replied to RN007's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There are usually two different types of Psych APN programs. Those Adult Psych programs concern 16+y/o (varies by state) and those who see all ages (Family Psych). I don't remember ever seeing a child...

  6. NP but decided not to practice

    t2krookie replied to celle507's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Ahh, so basically you yourself have no formal training and are comparing the hearsay of your MD parental figures and your spouses evaluation of her NP education? Please spend more time on things you...

  7. Struggling NP student

    t2krookie replied to lvICU's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Sounds like you have some confidence issues there. I might sugest talking to friends who have been in your shoes and are now working the job instead of styressing over perfection. Preferably over a...

  8. Nurse Practitioner with an MSN

    t2krookie replied to susiea's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I will seek to clarify this further and say that this is ONLY one "sugestion" from ONE of two national nursing program certifying bodies (I believe more are popping up) and in no way is law or even...

  9. UTHSC Houston Vs TWU for FNP track,fall 2011

    My best friend is a TWU FNP student and attended the Dallas campus and after speaking with him and meeting some of his fellow students, I am so glad I did not apply there. they might be local but they...

  10. Shadowing a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

    t2krookie replied to luckylady5's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    She could go the route of local public OP clinic. The clientele zenman is describing I find more often in the private practices. In the public mental health clinic, the clients are often simply happy...

  12. Antipsychotics and Pregnancy

    t2krookie replied to razorman's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hypothyroid,a new cutter @ 15, and preggers with alleged psychosis decompensation? Was she psychotic before? Long past time to pass that buck. The trifecta in hallucinations is very questionable....

  14. PMHNP

    t2krookie replied to Zaphod's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Case Western. Very nice program but very expensive. I would highly recommend getting your masters first and waiting for the dnp programs to become more clinically relevent. Currently most DNP...

  15. The latest good news for all of us

    t2krookie replied to t2krookie's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks and I do appreciate your view on engaging the repeated offenders. The only reason I do so is that I fear that many nurses may become discouraged if they start believing the c#@p some are...

  16. The latest good news for all of us

    t2krookie replied to t2krookie's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I got the Email that said you had actually posted to this thrad so I decided that was worth an early reply. I agree that the same issues keep being rehashed but I hope you can see that it was a self...

  17. PMHNP

    t2krookie replied to Zaphod's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Okay. glad you mentioned your perceptions because you have been mis-informed. Most distance programs (I had researched in detail nearly 100 during my undergrad) do not require more than an initial...

  18. The latest good news for all of us

    t2krookie replied to t2krookie's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  20. PMHNP

    t2krookie replied to Zaphod's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Quick question first. If you want a distance education, why limit yourself to SE schools? After this answer it would be easier to give

  21. The latest good news for all of us

    t2krookie replied to t2krookie's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    OHH!!! I allmost forgot, the study from 2000 that you are so fond of had an even SMALLER base of patients (Nearly half) so if we use your argument that the CRNA favoring study was too small to come to...

  23. If you get an FNP, can you later work in mental health field?

    t2krookie replied to Trueblood83's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'd be wary of such thoughts in scope of practice. While the FNP is trained to handle your basic anxiety and non-complicated(non refractory) depression, there is little to no training in the vast...

    t2krookie replied to Mental1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have not found nearly as much review materials available for the FPMHNP as for the FNP. Our instructors had mentioned the two solutions above but I am the overkill type myself and would appreciate...
