  1. Hi, FIU's PMHNP program recently came off moratorium for their PMHNP program--however, they apparently are changing from a master's degree program in 2013 to a BSN-DNP program in 2014! Is this the...
  2. Dont know if I love or hate my job

    I'm right there with you, Calinurse! I started as a new grad in L&D in January and am not on my own yet but am anxious and uptight every day on shift and always feel like I am forgetting...
  3. Becoming Fearful

    Wow, 1-2 years before on your own? That seems like a dream come true to me! I got my RN license in November 2013 and started a L&D full time position in January. I am about to finish a 2 month...
  4. How to pay back your student loans

    I was not able to get student loans because I had too many credit hours for my ADN program so had to get a private loan. My plan is to pay this loan off FIRST before going into the bachelor's...
  5. Hiya folks, FAU is now offering an Advanced Holistic Nursing master's degree, which I find really cool and interesting since my own philosophy on medical care is more holistic and...
  6. Hi there, I graduate in a few months with my ADN. I definitely don't want to work in traditional nursing and psych and counseling have always been my interest. Most people tell you that you must get...
  7. PMHNP programs all going from MSN to DNP?

    Hi Harmonizer, Why do you hope this will be the trend--will there be better compensation for the DNP? Do you think it will pay off for those of us who choose to go this route? MSN school is already...
  8. Hi, I will be graduating soon with my ADN. I went into nursing because my previous career had become very difficult to make a living at and is becoming obsolete (medical transcription) and I was...
  9. Thanks, GrnTea! I didn't know you were a psych NP :) This idea really appeals to me--I guess I'm just tired right now so the thought of more schooling pains me, but it is necessary to get to where I...
  10. Why should I become a Psych RN?

    This sounds like the ideal nursing job to me! I am interested in psych/counseling (always wanted to be a therapist actually but it never came to fruition for various reasons). Thanks for your
  11. Thanks, that's a great idea. I appreciate
  12. Also I am wondering if that old wisdom about "working at least a year in med-surg as a new nurse before pursuing a specialty" applies here--should I not just try to get a job in a psych facility out...
  13. Yes, I have considered psych nursing. THAT does appeal to me much more than traditional nursing. I had thought of pursuing an advanced degree as a psych NP but I guess I'm a bit conflicted whether to...
  14. Hello all, I'm moving to the Miami area after graduating from my ADN program in October. I have discovered that I really want to pursue a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner route--is there...
  15. PMHNP programs in South Florida?

    Thanks, Reddgirl. Yes, I am definitely moving down there. I will actually be in the Weston area but am willing to go to Miami for work. I don't understand why the moratorium on the program, though....
  16. Hi everyone! I was just wondering where everyone is getting their white pants for the classroom uniform. I had heard Wal-Mart sells pretty decent white scrub bottoms, but I haven't checked yet. Just...

  23. Hey all, I've applied to 2 ADN programs and 1 BSN program. I've heard people say that people don't tend to get enough clinical experience generally in the BSN programs and that it is smarter to get...
  24. IRSC ADN Program Spring 2012

    I just checked a little while ago and my points have been updated to include my NLN cumulative score, so you guys may want to check yours again soon if yours haven't been updated to reflect that
  25. Hi everyone, I applied for Spring 2012. I was looking at the Fall 2011 schedule and noticed that they have clinicals on Saturdays often, but it's a little difficult to interpret the schedule the way...
