  1. Wilkes PMHNP 2020

    Msmedic68w replied to Msmedic68w's topic in Online Distance Learning

    @nursedebir Yes, I got that paper like a month ago. They said once they send out packets and we are actually enrolled in classes then it would

  2. Wilkes PMHNP 2020

    Msmedic68w replied to Msmedic68w's topic in Online Distance Learning

    One thing I'm hoping for is no group work. I've heard some programs are heavy with group work and I really can't stand

  3. Wilkes PMHNP 2020

    Msmedic68w replied to Msmedic68w's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yes, they sent me my Wilkes log in information for the school, but it's too early to be active (that came in the mail). Before it's active you need to receive your enrollment information. Nursing will...

  4. Wilkes PMHNP 2020

    Msmedic68w replied to Msmedic68w's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I tried joining but I don't think I was accepted? I'll have to check. I don't know how I'm paying yet, not sure what my options are. I'd rather do labs I don't want to pay out of pocket but will if I...

  6. Wilkes PMHNP 2020

    Msmedic68w replied to Msmedic68w's topic in Online Distance Learning

    When you get accepted, you pay the deposit and then just sit back and wait for them to contact you with official welcome packets, which I found out today ( I was wondering what what was happening)....

  7. Wilkes PMHNP 2020

    Msmedic68w replied to Msmedic68w's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I had all my stuff in 7/22. And I already had previous psych experience, my entire nursing career is psych, that's all I have ever wanted to do. I'm not sure what Wilkes looks at specifically, but my...

  8. Wilkes PMHNP 2020

    Msmedic68w replied to Msmedic68w's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I was told decisions for Spring 2020 would be made early September by the nursing department, and they were right. My acceptance came September 12th. They notify you by email to you check your student...

  9. If you want to work in psych you must be crazy yourself...

    Msmedic68w posted a topic in Psychiatric

    I want to work in psych when I am done with nursing school. I worked it before nursing school and I loved it. Do other people look at you weird when you tell them that or make comments that only crazy...

  10. I have an MSN and need the 3Ps!

    Msmedic68w replied to meanmaryjean's topic in Advanced Practice

  11. Coworker and Patient Harm (Title edited)

    Msmedic68w posted a topic in General Nursing

    Recently, a coworker of mine killed a patient. Not on purpose, the MAR was handwritten and he didn't see the decimal point. The patient coded and ended up needing compressions. He was taken to the ER...

  12. What skills are needed?

    Msmedic68w posted a topic in Correctional

    I currently work in psych and have done so since I graduated. I love psych, but I'd like to do corrections. With just a psych background could I do corrections since so many of the inmates have mental...

  13. Capella RN to MSN

    Msmedic68w replied to BenjaminsMom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Which was your worst class? I just finished 5007 and 6003, those weren't bad at all. There's a class I saw on my academic plan called advanced financial operations which sounds miserable, I pray I...

  14. When does staff rights start

    Msmedic68w replied to Sniper06's topic in Psychiatric

    There's really nothing that can be done in an administrative sense. They are legally protected, which is why if one of them attacks you there's nothing that can be done. Sure you can file a police...

  15. I want to quit first RN job after a few weeks.

    Msmedic68w replied to newgradrn2016's topic in General Nursing

    What you are experiencing is not abnormal, when I first started my nursing job I would stay 2-3 hours after documenting, it was because I was new and still learning. I too had a week long orientation...

  16. Confronting Doctors with Wrong Orders

    Msmedic68w replied to RobbiRN's topic in General Nursing

    I just word it in a way to make it sound like I'm probably the one in the wrong but I just want to double check (even when I know they're wrong), protect their pride and you'll be alright. And ask...

  17. New Nurse, New Job, Feeling Dumb

    Msmedic68w replied to aimee32907's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I felt dumb for about the first 3months at my first nursing job:roflmao: It was terrible, I was a new nurse and the CHARGE nurse at that. I had no idea what I was doing and I work in psych with...

    Msmedic68w replied to BenjaminsMom's topic in Online Distance Learning

  19. Tired of the Stereotypes of Medics and EMTs

    Msmedic68w replied to KeekesRenea's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I was a medic in the Army, and then I went to nursing school. Obviously, the military is another animal but when I was a medic I would intubate, push meds and do stuff any paramedic would do. As far...

  20. Could I be sued for neglect or lose my license over this?

    Msmedic68w replied to Ccinct's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I hope you TORB'd the order that the doc gave you to cover yourself and documented accordingly. At worst, you could get in trouble for the O2, oxygen is technically an order. And the fact that you...

  21. Online A&P vs in-Class at Keiser University

    Msmedic68w replied to hmcnav's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I took all AP online with a lab. Personally, online classes are easier for me. I don't subscribe to that propaganda that you need to be on front of a teach to learn and get a good experience, you...

  22. Online Chem 1 & 2?

    Msmedic68w replied to jeepnursegina's topic in Online Distance Learning

  23. Which specialty compensated the most financially?

    Msmedic68w replied to hik9258's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think you're focusing too much on the out of work actors and singers, it was used metaphorically and the operative word was "mostly". The point I was trying to make was in reference to the people...

  24. Demand for Psych/Mental Health RNs

    Msmedic68w replied to McNabK9's topic in Psychiatric

    That is a decent wage I suppose. I now live in TX but I am from the bay area. The cost of housing makes that wage decent at best. The cost of a decent home in the bay area is closer to 1M dollars and...

  25. Universal Health Services concerns

    Msmedic68w replied to SunnyDay2day's topic in Psychiatric

    The UHS facility I work at is constantly hiring. The pay is decent, however I went PRN to make more money because the units I was working had acuity through the roof and the regular pay wasn't worth...
