  1. What's the least saturated specialty in APRN?

    myoglobin replied to soljhs's topic in Advanced Practice

    I will grant you that more clinical hours in all specialties would be optimal. I will also agree that having neonatal experience would/should be a strong consideration in favor of an applicant to a...

  2. What's the least saturated specialty in APRN?

    myoglobin replied to soljhs's topic in Advanced Practice

    And yet as an FNP (which I am not) I could manage that same infant when they went home and as an ARNP I could manage a critically ill adult in the ICU? I was a 4.0 student in nursing school and have...

  3. Who wants to hire a graduate nurse at 55?

    myoglobin replied to RNat55's topic in General Nursing

    There is a new Psychiatric hospital in the Tacoma Washington area "Wellfound Behavioral Health" that is in great need of staffing (they are offering me around $57.00/hr as a PRN RN on the weekends...

  4. PMHNP

    myoglobin replied to Flightmed123's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I was thinking of scenarios like my significant other experiences in tele-psych treating mostly Medicaid/homeless clients in rural Arizona. Many of these patients don't have a regular primary...

  5. Who wants to hire a graduate nurse at 55?

    myoglobin replied to RNat55's topic in General Nursing

    Also, get a multi state RN license (if you live in a state that facilitates one) and start applying on Indeed with "easy apply" to multiple states (with opportunities). I'm moving to Seattle...

  6. Who wants to hire a graduate nurse at 55?

    myoglobin replied to RNat55's topic in General Nursing

    I always think of an article that I read back in nursing school (when I was in my late 30's and feeling old) about a nurse name Peggy Morris working in a medical floor in Nevada in her early 80's. She...

  7. ANCC EXAM REVIEW TIPS PMHNP exam

    myoglobin replied to MissMemphis05's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What I liked about Pocket Prep is that is extensively referenced the "purple book" which is closely correlated to the exam material. Of course the questions were exponentially easier than Board...

  8. PMHNP

    myoglobin replied to Flightmed123's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I was thinking of a scenario where you aspire to "own" a clinic in an IP state. It would be a theoretical advantage to be able to manage all of your client's needs (both medical and psych) at the same...

  9. ANCC EXAM REVIEW TIPS PMHNP exam

    myoglobin replied to MissMemphis05's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Not sure about the "yellow" book, but I found the "purple/orange" cover book by Kathyrn Johnson and Dawn Vanderhoef very helpful especially when paired with the "Pocket Prep" application (since...

  10. PMHNP

    myoglobin replied to Flightmed123's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think that FNP and Psych are a good combination in states with IP practice since you could efficiently run an integrated care clinic that offered both medical and psych

  11. PMHNP

    myoglobin replied to Flightmed123's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I can do 12 hour shifts as a PMHNP in Wash. working outpatient since my primary job is staffed from 0800 until 2030. The problem is that I used up my savings and credit in school so I’m working...

  12. ANCC EXAM REVIEW TIPS PMHNP exam

    myoglobin replied to MissMemphis05's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Here is a link to where the questions can be purchased

  13. PMHNP

    myoglobin replied to Flightmed123's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Also, one of the potential "downsides" of ARNP is that you may end up working "six on and six off" that is the way all of the PA's who work for the Trauma team at my hospital have to work (we do not...

  14. Why are so many nurses against unions?

    myoglobin replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    They fear “silent” discrimination by management. The tools of the Dark Side are

  15. PMHNP

    myoglobin replied to Flightmed123's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The AANP displays New York in yellow as a “reduced” practice state. I can attest that in Washington state even as a new grad I am credentialed with six of the top seven insurance companies...

  16. Single Dad Can't Handle Blood and Bodily Fluids Wants to be a Nurse

    myoglobin replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Ultrasound tech (from the two or three that I have known) have indicated that males often face issues with pregnancy ultrasounds (which can be a big part of the job depending upon the setting). Not...

  17. Single Dad Can't Handle Blood and Bodily Fluids Wants to be a Nurse

    myoglobin replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Also, imaging tech's do not have the option of progressing to NP and moving to a state where they can have their own

  18. Single Dad Can't Handle Blood and Bodily Fluids Wants to be a Nurse

    myoglobin replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    The rad techs at my hospital make about $22.00 per hour compared to around $34.00/hr for nurses. Plus they have to work "on call" and mandatory overtime (if needed). Your aversion to body fluids can...

  19. Just Say “NO” to Nurse Staffing Laws

    myoglobin replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    Here's the thing I support both measures (billing that reflects nursing care and staffing ratio's). However, from a "political" standpoint staffing ratio's can be passed easier as evidenced by the...

  20. I walked out of a job fair after being Reminded why I left the southeast

    myoglobin replied to Tony1790's topic in Advanced Practice

    What is wrong with the term "prescribing clinician(s)"? It describes the role without casting

  21. The ICU sucks sometimes

    myoglobin replied to SquatsNScrubs's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, but if you were convinced of the eternal nature of the "soul, spirit, atman" whatever, you would likely be less "sad". That is because you would have some confidence that you might see them...

  22. The ICU sucks sometimes

    myoglobin replied to SquatsNScrubs's topic in General Nursing

    Well, with regard to making Medical Surgical suck less my advise would be California where at least the ratios are set by law to no more than four to one (3 to one in PCU). Also, their mandatory...

  23. The ICU sucks sometimes

    myoglobin replied to SquatsNScrubs's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, but if one sincerely believes that death of the physical body is the end then it is logical to be even more emotionally distraught (when someone dies especially when they are young or when it...

  24. The ICU sucks sometimes

    myoglobin replied to SquatsNScrubs's topic in General Nursing

    I live in one of the worst markets for nurses (Florida) and even here you can find ICU jobs that don't require rotating shifts. If you are going to work nights "live nights". That means even when...

  25. PMHNP

    myoglobin replied to Flightmed123's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Any of the independent practice states. The AANP website has a nice map which shows the practice status of each state. Note that some IP states require one two five years experience to practice on...
