    manchmal replied to manchmal's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks a bunch -- this is starting to make some sense to me! Your explanation makes a lot of sense. I'm still a little confused about why corticosteroids increase a patient's risk for infection -- I...

  2. What is psych nursing like exactly?

    manchmal replied to Nurse4life09's topic in Psychiatric

    Wow, thanks for that reply -- insightful and interesting. I hadn't given much thought to outpatient or more community-based mental health nursing, only because they seem to be cutting and cutting that...

  3. What is psych nursing like exactly?

    manchmal replied to Nurse4life09's topic in Psychiatric

    Hi...I'm an RN student, half-way through, and I went to school specifically to do psych nursing. I have a BA in a different area, and went back to school to do this. Before I made that choice, though,...

    manchmal replied to CommanderZ's topic in Psychiatric

    Just found this via extensive Google searching -- looks like a call to them would be in order, since they're not as clear as Ohio is about what they consider a significant mental health concern:...

  9. Would a voluntary inpatient stay preclude me from becoming an RN?

    manchmal replied to CommanderZ's topic in Psychiatric

    No, I just really empathize with you with this one, especially in light of what you said about not being able to find acute outpatient care that you're happy with, and feeling "forced" to look at...

  10. Would a voluntary inpatient stay preclude me from becoming an RN?

    manchmal replied to CommanderZ's topic in Psychiatric

    Just answering your question about licensure...it depends on the state. Go check out the state board licensure requirements. I know in Ohio, inpatient stay doesn't preclude you from being licensed,...
