I have taken the first three classes of PMHNP at Walden U Online and have found them to be good classes. They are also accredited which is important. Good luck!

Hello everyone, I have a question about how your hospitals/facilities handle the weekend incentive or what some may call Baylor contract pay. I work full time days- 12 hour shifts, Saturday, Sunday, Monday. I am paid $10/hr premium for this contrac...

The worst clinical instructor that I ever had was a very young, first timer, that thought she knew everything gal! She was inappropriate, lazy, and unprofessional! She was always late and rude to the staff on the floor which made it uncomfortable fo...

I work in Psych intensive care unit (Sylvania, Ohio) and first of all your combative patient sounds like he needs a psych consult to learn how to control his anger and compulsive behaviors better, along with possible addiction issues (and maybe some ...

Does anyone know if there is any legal way to file assault charges against an assaultive patient without having to disclose your full name? This is extremely worrisome in this particular case because the patient has a violent criminal history. I ca...

My employer will only reimburse for a university that has their HLC Accreditation (Higher Learning Commission Accreditation) Does anyone know which universities do? I was all set to go with Drexel University until I received this information today! ...

Thanks MrChicago for the help and I have used HLC website to verify universities standings now. But their website does not allow you to search by a specialty or by online learning so it is very tedious to find a program that way. But thank you for t...

Thank you very much!! I will check them out! I also found a lot of great information on the Nurse practitioner association web site: AANP - Home if anyone wants to check it out. Go to the Education tab on their site.

I am curious how all of you feel about Drexel University Psych NP program now that you are almost finished or finished! I am thinking about starting this Fall '15 but I have to get Drexel 'approved' for my employer to reimburse for part of the tuitio...

Finally got my ATT! Thank you Jesus!

I have a huge problem! I graduated on May 3, 2013 (last class was on April 18th) and my college screwed up all of the transcript verification letters for the entire class when sending them to the OBN--NOT just one time but two times! So now here it...

Hey everyone, I would like to ask some of the experienced members or any members that are instructors a question. I am a "non-traditional" student....(40's), and I am wondering..... I started my fifth clinical rotation this last week (half day of 6 ...

Thank you to all of you! This was very helpful to me! Peace be with you!

On my Pharm exam this week there were 25 questions (4 points each) over 5 chapters! I got 6 questions wrong! That is a 76% which in my BSN program is an F! So I went to the professors office to review my exam and she told me that she nulled 2 questi...

GRN TEA, I know, I know! I need to let it go and I am....I was just venting....and for future reference I am curious as to how other professors handle this. I am the type of person that will study even more for the next exam so that I can get a bett...

We wear our White nursing uniform top with our Navy Blue Scrub pants and white shoes. Our instructor has never said anything about the patients getting upset about scrubs/uniforms....but we are in a hospital psych setting. The nurses and social wor...

I agree with using the video games for a reward. Study for 3 hours and you allow yourself to play video game for 30 minutes. Then go back to studying and so on...BUT if you cannot trust yourself or you won't have the willpower to push yourself away...

In both classes make sure that you read all of the BOXES in each chapter and take note....they usually contain important information. If your text book has questions in the text and online or a CD do as many of them as you can and read the rationale...

In both of these cases I believe that the Professors thought that the questions on the test were either poorly written or they were not fair questions because the content was not gone over.

You GO GIRL!!! What an inspiration you are to all of us "nontraditional" students!!

I am 47 and in my third year of BSN program and loving it! Is it challenging? YES! But I don't have a lot of the distractions that a lot of the other students have...like going out partying, dating, small children, etc....What I do have is life expe...

Absolutely MattRN! The only way to go now is UP!! I just want to stress to all students with a problem like this to go to a faculty person that they trust and talk it out, that was my saving grace! Good luck everyone!! I am starting my Mental Healt...

I also had a clinical instructor that was rude, nasty, immature, and very unprofessional! I am 47 and this was my fourth clinical, and every one of my instructors have offered to give me recommendations if I want them and have all spoke very positiv...

For me Med Surg started out great, but about 3/4 of the way through the rotation I just felt burnt out! I studied so much in the first part of the rotation because I was so worried about passing (because of what others had told me). It is just a lo...

I am just wondering....did you take the position in Guam and if so...How has it turned out for you? I have one year of RN-BSN until I am complete and I would love to do something like this...Let me know! Thanks!
