  1. Looking for advice from PMHNPs on my work history, and finding work as a new grad PMHNP (particularly telemed)

    truckinusa replied to badfish2162's topic in Psychiatric

    Where at? Not having much

  2. The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center (OUHSC) BSN to DNP PMHNP

    truckinusa replied to MurseOnCall's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have no idea what will happen for you. Did you apply for a DNP for psych or family practice? I applied for psych in 2022 and didn't make the cut. I feel like if its been a while you might move...

  3. Wilkes University PMHNP; Seeking feedback from anybody who has ever been in this program

    truckinusa replied to crs1978's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I know of 2 people that Wilkes found placement for including myself. We are in a state that has a small population though. 44% of Wilkes students are from Pennsylvania and I would bet even more from...

  4. Walden University vs Wilkes University PMHNP

    truckinusa replied to psychgirl1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm not certain if certain aspects are the same with Wilkes and Walden. WIlkes has a physcial campus in Wilkes Barre Pennsylvania. They have an actual nursing school that is brick and mortar for BSN...

  5. UC Davis, UCSF MSN-DNP programs

    truckinusa replied to truckinusa's topic in California Nursing

    The only choices are UC Irvine, UCSF, and UCLA. Yes, the scholarship is only for the UC system schools. That would be a greater number if it wasn't just nursing and a DNP. Like UC Berkley doesn't...

  6. UC Davis, UCSF MSN-DNP programs

    truckinusa posted a topic in California Nursing

    There is an obscure scholarship where I could potentially get free tuition only at a UC California nursing school program only. I'll be graduating with my MSN next year. Is anyone familiar with the...

  7. UC Davis, UCSF MSN-DNP programs

    truckinusa replied to truckinusa's topic in California Nursing

    There are some old statistics on the website, but the number of doctoral students are minimal. Looks like 24 in past years. Admit rate is >60%. Undergraduate is much lower. Maybe

  8. Another Wilkes semester in the bag

    truckinusa posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am a Wilkes PMHNP student. I am finishing up semester 4 of 7. Wilkes uses a trimester system. I thought it might be helpful to say that I'm not getting perfect grades, but the classes are...

  9. Wilkes University - BEWARE!

    truckinusa replied to jennifer2021's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Wilkes student here and just starting my 3rd trimester (6 credits, 2 classes per semester). The material is difficult enough and I feel like I am learning something. My main complaints are: 1....

  10. OU Graduate Applications

    truckinusa posted a topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I applied for a DNP program and got denied. Is this typical for OU to be competitive and/or deny a recent graduate? I had a 3.6 GPA and thought I wrote a decent why I want to be a DNP essay. They...

  11. BON question

    truckinusa replied to kkb91's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I forget which icon is which, but as long as u sent your citizenship attention notarized, fees for the license and your transcripts, you should be just waiting. They are fairly quick. If a document...

  12. OU LPN to BSN FALL 2022/Spring 2023

    truckinusa replied to NurseQueen2022's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I guess you answered your own question? Maybe HESI is something new, but I wasn't aware that they used HESI at all. I used

  13. OU LPN to BSN FALL 2022/Spring 2023

    truckinusa replied to NurseQueen2022's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I bet it will be the ATI LPN placement test. They love

  14. Home Health RN Pay

    truckinusa replied to CaliHHRN's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I think it varies greatly. If you are based in Oklahoma City or Tulsa it may be

  15. Oklahoma Board wants explanation of arrest

    truckinusa posted a topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Is this routine stuff I can answer how the board is requesting? Not sure if I need an attorney to answer the board about dismissed charges. I was arrested for domestic violence. I had an ex-wife...

  16. Oklahoma Board wants explanation of arrest

    truckinusa replied to truckinusa's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I had no idea it would cause me this much trouble. I'm glad I will never have to go thru this in Oklahoma or the other compacts states for my license. It may pop up if I move elsewhere. The...

  17. Oklahoma Board wants explanation of arrest

    truckinusa replied to truckinusa's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Sorry, I forgot to update. A few days after submitting my letter they allowed me to test. I'm an LPN. I just gave a brief description of the events and I guess they accepted my explanation. I...

  18. Oklahoma Board wants explanation of arrest

    truckinusa replied to truckinusa's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Sounds like it shouldn't be a big deal. Contacted an attorney that deals with the board. He said write the letter and call him if I need to appeal but shouldn't be an issue. May work on the $400...

  19. Oklahoma Board wants explanation of arrest

    truckinusa replied to truckinusa's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Thought maybe someone had been thru something similar. I was charged in Texas and now I'm in Oklahoma so not sure how that works either. They asked for things that maybe don't even exist in Texas...

  20. Advice on writing letter of explanation when charges were dismissed & I was innocent.

    truckinusa replied to Prettygrlzroc's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Dealing with this exact same situation. Got a letter that I need to explain a 15-year-old domestic violence charge that was ruled void(quashed) by the court. Not sure what you say about something...

  21. Best place in OKC to start career?

    truckinusa replied to Josh_14's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I had one instructor mention the obvious that the VA has a Federal pension and a union. Not sure if that equals a great place to have a career, but it definitely equals a decent retirement. The only...

  22. Another new LPN

    truckinusa posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Any particular field I should apply at as a new LPN in Oklahoma? I've worked in a nursing home as an aide for 2 years. Most of my experiential knowledge comes from that employer. I am currently in...

  23. Home health nurse compensation

    truckinusa posted a topic in Home Health

    I'm located in Oklahoma and the laws may be different here, but I'm wondering if anyone can explain how nurses get compensated in home health for Medicaid patients. My wife just started a new job and...

  24. Home health nurse compensation

    truckinusa replied to truckinusa's topic in Home Health

    The specific situation is a foster child that has no ability to mess with temperatures since they are wheelchair/bed-bound. They also do not speak or make any intelligible communication. Family is...

    truckinusa replied to truckinusa's topic in Home Health

    Thank you for the information. Got her first paycheck and lots of problems. Hopefully, they get straightened out. Especially the incorrect pay rate that was agreed on. One more quick question....
