Hey all, I have a question to Psych NPs and new graduate Psych NPs. I have been to a couple of psychiatric nurse conferences in my career as an RN, and I absolutely love them. They tend to re-charge my whole core for psych nursing. I am currently ...

Each RN on DAY shift gets 3-5 patients. MHWs take 4-5 and rns will have all their pts to cover meds for, but just the med cover. LPNS get 3-5 pts. Only RNs get admissions. Our unit is adult, and we often get felons, the "hospital-or-jail" patients, t...

No. Get your shots, and follow up with your doctor. You need them.

I am thinking of applying there since their deadline for fall is July. Does the University require any on campus visits for like a few days to one week? UND and USA require an on campus visit. USA wants 2 days and UND wants a week of my time. It's o...

The last one got in on 3/7/16 and i had to have the college I requested them from send them THREE times. I had to pay the fee three times. It's really a mistake on their end, but I am paying for it.

WOW! OK where are you living? Cuz I'm moving there.

Curious ladies, how did you decide Eastern Kentucky? I think that was one that I had looked into but did not pursue. I applied to University of North Dakota, but my transcipts got sent over too late. I also applied to University of South Alabama and ...

Ummmm yes! that was hilarious. I died. I'm dead.

I am beginning PMHNP school next year, and I would like to travel some place to do my clinicals for Pediatric Psych, or possibly Gero Psych. I live in Ohio, and would like to travel to a different state for a week to get some clinical hours in. I a...

Ok there has been an increase in Summit County Ohio of drug use. This is for my BSN class which is Public Health nursing. How does this sound: The inhabitants of Summit County, Ohio are experiencing altered health maintenance due to an increased num...

Thanks for posting this, I'll take it into consideration. I am going to shadow with psych still though just to see! I can't shake to feeling that I may be in the wrong spot. I get so depressed when I get home!!

I'm going to shadow a psych nurse for a couple of nights. I have to see what it's like. I just remember being in school and loving psych a lot. I think there are certain people who are pulled to psych specialty and I was. So I owe it to myself to at ...

Well I think I owe it to myself to at least shadow a psych nurse. I'm so upset about everything right now!

I am thinking of switching specialties. I'm thinking of going to psych. I can't do med surg anymore!! I don't think it's for me.
