  1. Eliminating Seclusion/Restraint? Um, NO.

    Angeljho posted a topic in Psychiatric

    I read numerous research articles and reports about how a major goal for the mental health profession is to eventually eliminate seclusion and restraint. Yeah..... don't see that happening anytime...

  2. I'm a sexless nurse

    Angeljho replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Male nurse here (since everyone is shouting out their gender lol). Anyway, I don't get many opportunities to do catheterizations at my job. Sucks, I know. Therefore, whenever a male or female needs to...

  3. Which was more stressful: nursing school or actually working as a RN?

    Angeljho replied to fatrabbit's topic in General Nursing

    Going to school was more stressful for me because of everything that comes with it. Committing time to study, balancing rent/bills/other expenses with tuition, giving up certain life pleasures because...

  4. Schools push APRN immediately-$$

    Angeljho replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for coming and sharing your experience :). It really helps to see the other side of things realistically rather than just talk about it theoretically. I know that DE programs only accept the...

  5. CUNY Hunter Fall 2015 NP students

    Angeljho replied to blueindigo79's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    When did you hear back? I applied to the PMHNP

  6. Convicted of murder as a teen and now a nurse

    Angeljho replied to TheGooch's topic in General Nursing

    My thoughts exactly. Leave me and my family out of the sequel to that movie

  7. It can be done! (BSN straight to PMHNP)

    Angeljho replied to hakhama's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I fully

  8. Why can't i get a job???? US RN

    Angeljho replied to MKIVSupraRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I will never forget my first nursing job interview. My clinical hours were listed on my resume. As the nursing director was reading my resume, her eyes widened, and her tone of voice immediately...

  9. Is there a CLINICAL DNP?

    Angeljho replied to PG2018's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    PsychGuy, I get what you're asking but as another poster answered, the DNP is the terminal degree for nursing clinical practice. There is no other terminal practice based degree that offers what...

  10. Schools push APRN immediately-$$

    Angeljho replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    No, I got it from an integrative review. There isn't much research on this topic, but that article was the only one that somewhat relates to our discussion. Here is the integrative review if you wish...

  11. Schools push APRN immediately-$$

    Angeljho replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    Sure thing. The article found a negative correlation between years of RN experience and NP clinical practice skills based on assessment by collaborating physicians. Also longer RN experience was...

  12. Schools push APRN immediately-$$

    Angeljho replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    Rich, E.R. (2005). Does RN experience relate to NP clinical skills? The Nurse Practitioner, 30(12), 53-56 Read

  13. Schools push APRN immediately-$$

    Angeljho replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    Lol I'm just being realistic, Jules. Things won't change just because people think it SHOULD happen based on their own experiences. Arguing that NPs with prior RN experience are better is just a...

  14. Schools push APRN immediately-$$

    Angeljho replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    All the direct entry graduates from Yale, Columbia, and other schools say

  15. Schools push APRN immediately-$$

    Angeljho replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree. The right education

  16. Schools push APRN immediately-$$

    Angeljho replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    What are your thoughts on nurses who have experience, but not relevant experience? Such as med/surg nurses becoming PMHNPs or LTC nurses becoming

  17. Schools push APRN immediately-$$

    Angeljho replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    I'm curious. How would you know if a NP has prior nursing experience or not? Are you one of those individuals who asks their nurse if they completed a ADN or BSN program? There was a poster here who...

  18. Schools push APRN immediately-$$

    Angeljho replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps it's NP schools which are at fault. Maybe the nursing model just doesn't work if furthering education is dependent on prior nursing experience. Other professional clinical programs, such as...

  19. Another "Find Your Own Preceptor" Thread

    Angeljho replied to Angeljho's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm going for the Psych NP program. But... I'm waiting to hear back from a traditional program because they assign preceptors. Also, I too did not know until orientation that I would have to find my...

  20. Another "Find Your Own Preceptor" Thread

    Angeljho replied to Angeljho's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Sorry, didn't see this until now. Stony Brook. It's in

  21. Another "Find Your Own Preceptor" Thread

    Angeljho replied to Angeljho's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Oh, come on. You're preaching about RN experience for this, too? I actually have years of inpatient psych experience and still work as an inpatient psych nurse. I know many MDs and I tried networking...

  22. Schools push APRN immediately-$$

    Angeljho replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    Experience is invaluable, but I wouldn't say direct entry NPs are unsafe or bad practitioners because they lack RN experience. Are nurses who were never CNAs, techs, or medical assistants...

  23. Schools push APRN immediately-$$

    Angeljho replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    Why is it irresponsible? Again, I see a whole lot of people wanting change for something that's not even a problem. If patient safety was an issue, those direct entry programs would be shut down. I'm...

  24. Schools push APRN immediately-$$

    Angeljho replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not too sure I agree here. Most examples are anecdotal and along the lines of "When I was in school, these nurses couldn't *insert nursing skill here.*" Has there been an increase in patients with...

  25. Another "Find Your Own Preceptor" Thread

    Angeljho replied to Angeljho's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think if NP preceptors were compensated for their time, it would make a world of difference. Over and over, I hear the major complaint is that NPs are expected to precept for free and it's more than...
