Hello all! I will be starting the MSN PMHNP program at Eastern Kentucky University this summer. Anyone else out there starting at the same time or are there any current students willing to share any advice or comments?

maeb, You might want to look into Eastern Kentucky University. They have the PMHNP track and is completely online.

I looked back at my emails from last year and I received a couple over two days so if the first one didnt have instructions then maybe tomorrow you will receive more. No worries, they wont forget about you. You cant sign up for classes right away any...

What did the email say? I can look back for my initial email to be sure but I think the first step was to set up an EKU Direct account and once that is done you can set up your email account and maybe Blackboard account as well. The email should have...

Take you perquisites and when you are almost done then apply to nursing school. This will get you in the swing of going back to school while having kids and will give your kids more time to get further along in school. When you are accepted into nurs...

Eastern Kentucky University is 100% online. No campus visits required. Several different programs to choose from.

It has been a few years since I worked in an office and had forgotten about the ridiculous flirting with the doctors or PAs. They taught me to not take them seriously.

Such good advice, I couldn't agree more. I do this along with a lot of rewriting notes and making lists or putting notes in colorful diagrams or outlines. It is not so much the act of having another material to review but the act of writing the notes...

Have you signed up for this class yet? I will also be taking this class this summer but have not sent in my photo ID in order to be allowed to sign up for the class. I will be doing this by the end of the week. Hopefully they will then release the te...

When you say "new grad RN program" does that mean something equivalent to continued training/orientation for people who have recently graduated from nursing school in place of just applying to a specific job opening within the hospital? I have more t...

They are looking for illegal drug use, so any illegal drugs that show up meaning street drugs or prescription drugs that you don't have a script for.

Congratulations!! And thanks for the tips.

You have received some good feedback from other replies, but I have to stress the importance of meeting with his treatment team before he is discharged if he is agreeable. This allows for you to let him know how you feel in general and how you feel a...

No on campus visits.

Your first jobs are important to choose wisely. They will set the tone for how you work in the future. It should be a supportive environment that understands you are just beginning your practice and also have high caliber nurses working there so you...

KF28, I have some similar experience to yours on the inpatient unit. I worked oncology for a couple of years then switched to an adult inpatient behavioral health unit for 6 years. I am currently working within the court system with adults that have ...

Lee Ann, I sent another email just to see if it would go through. If it does, I will forward the original email I sent to you.

Did you receive the email that I sent to you?

They request a photo for your ID be sent in before you sign up for classes. I have not completed that yet so I have not received the email regarding registration. Did you send your photo?

This may sound like a simple reply and I will admit it took some time for me to really let it sink in and help me to relax.....but I just think that at some point I get to go home to the relaxing and peaceful sanctuary I have made for myself, some of...

I would absolutely do it all over again. I have had my share of struggles and stressful times in my career but I have had great experiences and amazing opportunities to work with some interesting patients and coworkers. I started with my ADN and afte...

You are not too old to go to school for nursing. More important than age is your willingness to learn and possibly change some old attitudes or beliefs while in school. From my experience the only "older" students that struggled came in with the wron...

TheOldGuy....can I contact you about UND? I am going through the application process now for the Fall 2015 cohort. I would love to have someone to "mentor" me through some of this. What do you think?
