   PMHNP jobs

   arcadian23 posted a topic in Advanced

   Why does it take several months for a patient to get an appointment with a PMHNP or psychiatrist and there are not very many PMHNP job openings posted?

   arcadian23 posted a topic in NP Students

   Hello, I am in search of a PMHNP preceptor for my final semester of study. I would really appreciate any suggestions. I have networked and contacted all psychiatric locations I could find in my state (MO). I am willing to travel to any compact state.

   Treatment plan help

   arcadian23 posted a topic in Nurses

   I have prior careplanning experience. My question is at my new job we have been told to not careplan medical issues if a client does not take a scheduled medication to address the problem. So if a client has gerd eats a special diet has a treatment order for a wedge for their bed and only occasionally takes a prn ranitidine this should not be on his careplan. I dont understand this. Appreciate any input We have also been told to remove from treatment plans any hearing or vision impairments?

   LTC job search ideas in Missouri

   arcadian23 replied to arcadian23's topic in LTC Directors

   I continue my job search looking at posted opportunities for which it seems to have many applications for the same position. I am trying to look outside of the box for job search tips. The economy in my local area is bad right now. There are a ton of new grads that cant find a job and even with my experience I am finding it challenging.

   Oxford Homehealth...Spfd Mo???

   arcadian23 replied to Hotfornursing's topic in Missouri

   I was paid by the trip not the hour 39 for around 60 minute visit and 67 for a 2.5 hour visit with no milage for first 30 miles then 42 cents a mile. I once drove 5 hours in a day and received 10 dollars. I worked there for two years and quit due to multiple episodes of not being paid for all the trips I made. So if you take the job check each paycheck carefully.

   LTC job search ideas in Missouri

   arcadian23 posted a topic in LTC Directors

   Hello all, I have three years LTC MDS and careplan experience along with all the other task experience from being pulled to different areas. I am really good at my job and work hard. The problem is the new inexperienced DON is driving my crazy. When I go to her with issues I get the response that she is a psych nurse and only deals with the neck up. I have put in my resignation because I know with all the errors and low staff morale the facility will once again become a special focus facility. I have recently went on four job interviews but yet to have a job offer. I am looking for some creative job ideas. Prior to working in LTC I worked for several years on a CSU in the hospital. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
