  1. South Alabama Pediatric NP

    Carlyjo replied to advor's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have applied for the FNP/DNP at the University of South Alabama. I am currently a PMHNP and went to UNC. I have a fellow PMHNP co-worker who graduated from the University of South Alabama. She is...

  2. Which specialty compensated the most financially?

    Carlyjo replied to hik9258's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The South, except Mississippi, Alabama, and parts of TN (Memphis, Nashville) is terrible for PsychNP. This is horrible but true. FNP makes the same or more than Psych NP in most of the South. Derm is...

  3. Too many online NP programs

    Carlyjo replied to laudate's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yes, I believe we have all seen posts of those wishing to become NPs that are CNAs or from another field. People are allowed to have dreams and try to fulfill them. This is the land of opportunity. I...

  4. Too many online NP programs

    Carlyjo replied to laudate's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I don’t think it will be long before most programs go to online with the exception of a few campus visits. Some backward professors are stalling this transition (at least in my program).The programs...

  5. Too many online NP programs

    Carlyjo replied to laudate's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have noticed that the people on here that dog other NP programs are not NPs. The few NPs that do have nasty remarks about other NP programs are generally very insecure. Making fun of a colleague is...

  6. Too many online NP programs

    Carlyjo replied to laudate's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I don’t exactly agree with this. Two of the top graduate schools for PMHNP now deliver a completely online format. Rush and Vanderbilt are in this format…not synchronous, either. Actually, Rush...

  7. Psychiatric NP what can I do?

    Carlyjo replied to newnurse423's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think that restricting NPs from signing disability forms is very serious. If an NP is in independent practice, they cannot sign for a patient that is in need of disability. The patient (or the NP)...

  8. PMHNP

    Carlyjo replied to mjgernurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    One has to consider cost of living related to salary. I do not live near the cost, so cost of living is reasonable in my area. Cost of living on the west coast and other parts of the country are...

  9. PMHNP

    Carlyjo replied to mjgernurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I live in SC, went to the UNC for my PMHNP. Our class completed a large portion of the program in the hybrid format. I would look into other schools that offer PMHNP. Be sure the school you choose has...

  10. online rn to bsn chamberlain college

    Carlyjo replied to MVgal's topic in Chamberlain College

    I completed the RN-BSN program at Chamberlain. I went to a community college for my ADN. I got into the MSN school of my choice. I do have complaints with Chamberlain but it prepared me well for...

  11. Too many online NP programs

    Carlyjo replied to laudate's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Megan, I have a co-worker that went to the University of South Alabama. The way she describes that program, it is much more rigorous than my hybrid program. I went to a public intuition, the...

  12. Too many online NP programs

    Carlyjo replied to laudate's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There are many hybrid programs available. I think we need to make a distinction between online verses for-profit. Online does not necessarily mean for profit. Many public institutions offer NP tracks....

  13. Any Psych Nurse Practitioner's out there?

    Carlyjo replied to HealingThoughts's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I work outpatient full time. I think the worst part for the majority of NPs is that we are not paid hourly or per patient. If you can get hourly or a per patient rate, this controls more of what you...

  14. Any Psych Nurse Practitioner's out there?

    Carlyjo replied to HealingThoughts's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Ella86rn, I did not mean to offend you. I also do not mean to be pessimistic, just honest. If you already have a job offer from your employer, this is excellent. If you have the heart for psych then...

  15. Any Psych Nurse Practitioner's out there?

    Carlyjo replied to HealingThoughts's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Actually, I went to The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The program is ranked 11th by Us News & World Report. They are mostly distance learning, so my classmates were spread...

  16. Any Psych Nurse Practitioner's out there?

    Carlyjo replied to HealingThoughts's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yes, I live in SC. Oversaturation currently exists in SC, TN, KY and NC is filling up as well. There are very few jobs in KY, a girl in my class from KY had to move Arizona to get a job. She told me...

  17. Any Psych Nurse Practitioner's out there?

    Carlyjo replied to HealingThoughts's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am writing this in honesty because I feel like everyone considering becoming a PMHNP should be aware: I am a PMHNP and graduated Fall 2012. I would like to know where PMHNP are earning 80% of what a...

  18. online rn to bsn chamberlain college

    Carlyjo replied to MVgal's topic in Chamberlain College

    i will have to say that chamberlain has really been a disappointment. i went with this school based on the reviews here. i have had a great experience until now, and i am very close to graduation....

  19. THE Epic failure of surveys and the new focus on "customer service".

    Carlyjo replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree. This mess about being customer service oriented is crazy. I treated every patient with respect and give them the best medical care I can provide. You cannot make everyone happy 100%...

  20. inclement weather

    Carlyjo replied to happy in NH's topic in Home Health

    A good company will pull their field staff from the roads when driving conditions become hazardous-and hazardous means different things at times for different parts of the country. For example, a...

  21. "International Association of Nurses" - is this legit?

    Carlyjo replied to psysn's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I received on of these letters as well.....also from a small

  22. psych HH with no psych experience

    Carlyjo replied to lsvalliant's topic in Psychiatric

    You must have 2 years of acute psychiatric nursing experience and be approved by Palmetto per Medicare guidelines to do psychiatric home health nursing. Your agency would be out of compliance with...
