  1. Why so many threads on NP school

    Barnstormin' PMHNP replied to OBigdog26's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree with you. I rarely find anything that I can relate to, it would be nice if there was a pre student nurse practitioner forum (wasn't there one awhile ago?) I don't bother posting half of the...

  2. Am I overstepping my boundaries? WWYD?

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

    What do I think? I think you have magical thinking. Be a responsible adult and pay her back the one thousand dollars YOUR dog cost them. With a new baby it will be needed. I am usually very...

  3. Online FNP programs--feedback anyone!? Please!??

    Barnstormin' PMHNP replied to ORRN1989's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree with all previous posts, and rninme is pretty much how my school works and I also had considered frontier before I went in state. Which is good because I decided psych was a better fir than...

  4. Need help resigning!

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

    I would give the proper notice and try to go per diem or at least ask about it. The clinic job sounds like there is no down side and you will still be learning valuable

  5. What nursing task do you loathe???

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

    Placing a foley on a woman. I am the WORST. I think I got it right once

  6. how much do you pay on student loans per month

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

    $0 Paying it off as I go, plus I deliberately chose affordable schools to attend without sacrificing quality. Went ADN to BSN, now in Grad school. I wish school was free for everyone who chose to...

  7. Lucky he was constipated, or he'd be dead

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

    Teenage girl was hit while riding her bike, put on our floor. They discovered she had colon cancer from the workup, she ended up having a pretty large resection. They probably wouldn't have caught...

  8. Enhanced pay for staffing crisis

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

  9. Enhanced pay for staffing crisis

    Barnstormin' PMHNP posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi all, I am looking for input from any nurses familiar with enhanced pay for staffing crisis. Our hospital system has enacted this for specialty units that are in dire need of RN coverage. They...

  10. Enhanced pay for staffing crisis

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

    Thanks llg, I was thinking along the same lines about stepping up to help out with some shifts, but I never thought of asking for tuition reimbursement. It is fairly likely I will be working for this...

  11. Enhanced pay for staffing crisis

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

    The contract is for the same unit I work on as a per diem nurse while I am in grad school. So, as far as advantages go, I am not really seeing much as you pointed out. I would get brownie points big...

  13. For those in BSN/MSN programs, preferably psych track

    Barnstormin' PMHNP replied to sophs12's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think that the quality employers will be able to be very selective and the places that don't care will hire any warm body (and who would want to work there). The job postings are starting to be...

  14. For those in BSN/MSN programs, preferably psych track

    Barnstormin' PMHNP replied to sophs12's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My class at a brick and mortar university is the largest so far, with 11 students, 3/4 do not have direct psych experience. The school is also adding a summer program for psych and throwing them in...

    Barnstormin' PMHNP replied to nurse2211's topic in General Nursing

  17. Lab values interpretation for "beginners."

    Barnstormin' PMHNP replied to nurselove757's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have been using Mosby's manual of laboratory and diagnostic tests. It doesn't give you an algorithm but it gives you normal findings, indications, a long explanation about the test itself and...

  18. ANCC - Family psych NP - just passed

    Barnstormin' PMHNP replied to andy25's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What did your readings consist of, just the tests or did you use the ANCC exam prep book or other resources? Congratulations and thank you for posting, we rarely see anything about the psych exam, I...

  19. Don't be afraid to negotiate!

    Barnstormin' PMHNP replied to Alicia777's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I work in a decent sized hospital system with many clinics and a few satellite hospitals. I have been networking from day one with other NP's and spreading the word about salary ranges etc. I know a...

  20. Master's level pharmacology?! wowza!

    Barnstormin' PMHNP replied to rehric00's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    How refreshing to see a post on the student NP forum about something other than what school to go to!! Adv. pharm was almost as hard as patho, very tough classes in my program. I tend to learn best...

  21. What's the meanest thing a patient has said to you?

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

    Dazglue, you win. On another note, when I worked skilled, the elderly folks were so awesome, they cracked me up all the time. I had a gal in a wheelchair, mostly non verbal and she would get into...

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

  24. What is your biggest struggle

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

    I agree with MallysMama and Dranger. As a PMHNP student halfway through, I know that my program is very difficult and is HARD. I feel the people jumping on board the 'psych wagon' in particular is...
