  2. I've thought about this and I keep circling back around to NP with Psych specialty. But I have some hurdles and would really appreciate some advice and maybe even an online mentor. With an ADN, can I...
  3. I was looking at nursing positions and clicked at a hospital to find out more about its policies. I'm not a smoker, and I really can't stand it, but even I found it a little fascist that a hospital...
  4. I believe
  5. Yes, I get the thing about multiple breaks. But even non smokers who just like to take breaks do that. That can be taken care of with good management. Health insurance is a legit issue, I think....
  6. Commuter, True, but isn't it true that even nurses in the Impaired Program (I'm talking Florida here, and I'm not even really sure of the name of the program) can work, having identified themselves...
  7. Is Volunteering a Way to Get my Skills Up To Speed?

    Not bad ...I'll have to check, and see if there are any free clinics. Thanks for the idea! Of course, I'll still have to pick up liability coverage again.

  10. Thanks for responding. Do you have to do the Master's at the same place you get the certificate? Is the Adult NP the only option for getting the Psych certificate or can you
  11. IS Nurse Education for me?

    I'm thinking that even with a non MSN-Ed, you can still take on some teaching jobs, though, right? Just not top of the line education jobs. Like adjunct prof jobs at a community college? I really...
  12. I *think* I want to continue my education toward being a nurse educator. I'm not entirely sure what this career track entails, though. I'm interested in patient education, writing, reading and keeping...

  14. Where Is The Worst place to work in Florida?

    NurseKitten, Yep, I heard about West FL Hosptial. What about their off site medical
  15. Ok, next question - now that I know that, I'm thinking that doing it online is not going to be supportive enough. What do you
  16. OK- With all that said....should I be looking more at patient care [NP with certificate in psych], with I know will have to deal with a stats course in school but will probably be able to seek...

    hlr, she needs to realize this is not about her comfort level. It's about your rights. If you have the documentation from your psychologist that you have LD, please go to your school's Student...
  20. Getting into a nursing program with a L.D.

    P.S. Testing in a private area is also reasonable. I did it during nursing school too. Brainstorm your potential backers: your academic advisor? High school advisor? Student Center Disability...

    I have dyscalculia. I ran into roadblock after roadblock getting through nursing school. Listen, they have to provide accomodations for you, as someone else said. They accomodations are not written...
  22. Yikes, that's a scary thought! UGh...I'm starting to feel lost! I was between trying to go for the MSN -NP with certificate in psych, and MSN-ed. Thanks for the input. Maybe I'll look at the NP...
  23. Thank you...I appreciate your
  24. Thank you for the reply! Here's my thing - I ve a math processing disability [called dyscalculia], and I'd love to be able to understand figures. The thing is, I flunked maths since fifth grade, went...
  25. IS Nurse Education for me?

    Hi llg, Thank you so much for your kind input :) I have always liked pt teaching...the one on one thing, and really liked writing and researching [not clinical research, not looking stuff up]. Not...
