  1. So disappointed in hospital RNs and MDs

    Barnstormin' PMHNP replied to carachel2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I was recently in the hospital and I won't go into details, but I too only had minimal assessments done on me, and that by one nurse when I was admitted. I was surprised as well, as I am a nurse who...

  2. Children's psych...

    Barnstormin' PMHNP replied to lmld's topic in Psychiatric

    "It's not really like any kind of nursing job you would be familiar with -- it's more like being a mom with 24 really bad kids." elkpark I work with kids and adolescents and I have to say that...

  3. Formatting programs for papers?

    Barnstormin' PMHNP replied to BirkieGirl's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Definitely PERRLA for under grad and currently Grad school. I also use this website quite a bit as well Citefast automatically formats citations: APA 6th edition, MLA 7th ed. and Chicago 16th ed....

  4. PSYCH ARNP

    Barnstormin' PMHNP replied to Debi Fischer's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    49 going on 50 in a few weeks, started PMHNP in the summer, will be done in 2 years if it doesn't kill me first

  5. Excelsior Grads How do you explain clinicals?

    Barnstormin' PMHNP replied to jdclac's topic in Excelsior College

    I had no idea this kind of RN school

  6. Interesting times in psych

    Barnstormin' PMHNP replied to nursetim's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Nursetim, are you saying Psychiatric NP's are unnecessary? I am a Psych NP student and my clinical instructor is a psychiatrist who is in his 60's, experienced as all heck and is thrilled to death...

    Barnstormin' PMHNP replied to nursetim's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  8. Practicing Assessments on Fellow Students?

    Barnstormin' PMHNP replied to MallysMama's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Aren't they though? But really fun and a great tool to assist with diagnosis, particularly the eye. I know that everyone feels awkward, even the ones that look like they have nothing to hide lol. I...

  9. Practicing Assessments on Fellow Students?

    Barnstormin' PMHNP replied to MallysMama's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yes we do this too. I personally don't have a problem with it, but I'm older and a mom thus I have no modesty left lol. I actually have some neat things that are good to see in an assessment....

  10. Career Frustrated

    Barnstormin' PMHNP replied to Solcita's topic in Psychiatric

    I am slightly, well, completely offended that you think other will look down on you for being a *cough*....nurse. I am a nurse and I work with techs that are psychologists. They are pursuing nursing...

  11. AANP exam Studying

    Barnstormin' PMHNP replied to Juggernautmeg's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am in the beginning of my NP program so unfortunately I have nothing to offer but positive thoughts. I posted to say that I LOVE your user

  12. Physician Extender ???

    Barnstormin' PMHNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I just saw this term on a job posting, and it's new to me. It sounds very demeaning, and a lot worse than midlevel. Is this a local term used more in one geographical area than another? Any...

  13. Is a FNP working for a Psychiatrist legal ??

    Barnstormin' PMHNP replied to lmonet82's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I can't see myself as a PMHNP (currently in grad school) accepting a position as a FNP. If the physician is using you only in the FNP role then yes. The clinical and educational preparation for the...

  14. pharmacology and pathophysiology for FNP program

    Barnstormin' PMHNP replied to gonetocarolina's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    For current and prospective NP students and current NP's, what was your pre-masters coursework in pharmacology and pathophysiology? Did any of you get your BSN via RN to BSN programs, and if so, did...

    Barnstormin' PMHNP replied to LibraSunCNM's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Good for you! I love, love, love, babies but could never do what you do! (I've had 4 of my own but would faint if I had to deliver someone else's LOL) What an amazing life CNM's

  16. Physician Extender ???

    Barnstormin' PMHNP replied to Barnstormin' PMHNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    ghillbert , I think that is a very accurate term and describes NP'S much better than midlevel and physician

  17. How much more difficult is psych NP school than getting your BSN?

    Barnstormin' PMHNP replied to Deetail's topic in Psychiatric

    I am attending a Brick and mortar in the northeast. I am taking 4 classes (full time) patho, quantitative analysis, Health assessment and a disparities class, plus a lab attached to health...

  18. Physician Extender ???

    Barnstormin' PMHNP replied to Barnstormin' PMHNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I find the term physician extender makes me feel uncomfortable. It implies (to me at least) that when I am an NP with my own license and practice I am still simply an "extension" or 'arm' of the/a...

  19. Expressing gratitude and appreciation to co-workers

    Barnstormin' PMHNP replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Excellent post, and so very true. I notice that sometimes when I thank fellow health care providers for their assistance they almost always look surprised, then suspicious and then really pleased...

  20. Preparing for classes

    Barnstormin' PMHNP replied to MallysMama's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Well then, I should be all

  21. Preparing for classes

    Barnstormin' PMHNP replied to MallysMama's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    olvr00, I have to laugh because you just described what 90% of my class wears, and they sure look comfy. I am an older student and being from the baby boomer generation some things I just can't do...

  22. Preparing for classes

    Barnstormin' PMHNP replied to MallysMama's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    BostonFNP covered a lot of it. I used a recorder in undergrad but most of my lectures for grad school are on camtasia and posted online. This means the instructor is responsible for recording and...

  23. painful reports

    Barnstormin' PMHNP replied to Beatlefan's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As far as advice on giving getting report which I totally forgot to put in my previous reply..... Humor is a great way to deal with people and issues, especially if you are good at it. Passive...

  24. painful reports

    Barnstormin' PMHNP replied to Beatlefan's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Last I knew CNA's gave report to other CNA's, so duskyjewel certainly has a valid viewpoint on the ups and downs of report. I can get better information from the tech's than from the RN's at times,...

  25. Undergrad books used in grad school?

    Barnstormin' PMHNP replied to MallysMama's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Not really, except for the quantitative analysis. My program is using medical textbooks written by M.D.'s for med students. I was actually pretty surprised to find this out, but
