  1. How to drop subtle hints with my nursing students about faith.

    priorities2 replied to HappyWife77's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I am not a Christian, but I am of a similar religious background and belief system and I respect and honor Christianity and followers of Christ. I, too, am interested in faith and spirituality. BUT...

  2. north pay better than south

    priorities2 replied to twinner05's topic in General Students

    In some mid/large size northern cities, new grad pay is 58k-60k. Is this

  3. Psych NP programs that are the most psychotherapy focused?

    priorities2 replied to priorities2's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thanks for linking to that, IcySageNurse. I've done a bit more research today and determined that a few other programs also have extensive therapy components: - OHSU - University of Washington - Case...

  4. Psych NP programs that are the most psychotherapy focused?

    priorities2 replied to priorities2's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It's unfortunate that the credential is being eliminated. I wonder why that is. I heard Penn is incorporating some of its CNS curriculum into the NP curriculum, at least. Another question - I get...

  5. Best online Psych NP Program?

    priorities2 replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think PMHNPs can get gigs that involve some counseling (or at least most involve assessment and some talking that goes along with med mgmt). Just like psychiatrists,

  6. Psych NP programs that are the most psychotherapy focused?

    priorities2 replied to priorities2's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Makes sense. I am curious about Vanderbilt's program. With online lectures and only a 12-month curriculum, how much psychotherapy skill can really be gained compared to longer or in-person programs I...

  7. Mental Health Nursing

    priorities2 replied to idani's topic in General Students

    That's a tough one... I've got a psych background, and I've never taken an actual mental health nursing course yet. For psych courses, I think a lot of it is common sense, so for me, trusting my...

  8. Best online Psych NP Program?

    priorities2 replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    DNP will not be a requirement until maybe 2025 at the earliest - if ever (state laws would need to change, and no bills have even been formed yet). At this point 2015 is simply a recommendation put...

  9. Best online Psych NP Program?

    priorities2 replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think the shorter/more expensive vs. longer/cheaper debate always depends on individual circumstances. For example, if someone had no kids and had gotten thru undergrad debt-free, worked as an RN...

  10. Interning while in nursing school???

    priorities2 replied to Lavie30's topic in General Students

    I think it's best to be an intern during the summers. Many do have jobs thought while in school, so it really depends on

  11. Nursing scholarships?

    priorities2 replied to RNnewbie2014's topic in General Students

    I definitely second applying to your School of Nursing's general scholarship app if it has one. This is the most likely way to get a scholarship. I got $4000 this way, added to a $3000 grant (for...

  12. How much do they let you customize your program/select your clinicals at your school?

    priorities2 replied to priorities2's topic in General Students

    Ah. I see. Yeah, it's not guaranteed for me either, but they try to give you a choice each semester except the

  13. How much do they let you customize your program/select your clinicals at your school?

    priorities2 replied to priorities2's topic in General Students

    Well of course you show up at the correct place and time. I'm just wondering to what extent other programs give you a choice for your clinicals. It sounds like most

  14. How do I segue into psyche/mental/behavioral health?

    priorities2 replied to sugarmagnolia3's topic in Psychiatric

    Have you had an HR person or someone with good knowledge of nursing resumes take a look at

  15. Forensic Psychiatric Nursing: A Unique APRN Opportunity

    priorities2 replied to Psychcns's topic in Psychiatric

    I've seen the psychiatrist on Law and Order and always wondered what psych APRNs actually do in real life forensic nursing. Thanks for

  16. Don't you want to be an NP?

    priorities2 replied to AnAppleGirl's topic in General Students

    My dad subtly hints at wanting me to become a doctor sometimes. I know he would support me in whatever I do, but yeah, pressure like that is annoying, even when it's not

  17. Class of 2015

    priorities2 replied to MommaTy's topic in General Students

    I'll be graduating from my traditional BSN program in May 2015. It seems so far away, but it's weird that I'll only be technically one year older than I am

  18. Does going to a top school affect job prospects?

    priorities2 posted a topic in General Students

    I'll be getting my BSN from one of the best state schools in the region. Do you think this will have a bearing on job prospects? It's a couple hours away from the city where I'll want to get a

  19. Another salary question

    priorities2 replied to Calibean's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    ^ If you aren't good at negotiating, try negotiating through email. Say you need to consider it when on the phone, then send an email response with a well-worded reason for why you deserve a higher...

  20. can we have an honest discussion about foreign profs?

    priorities2 replied to richardgecko's topic in General Students

    OP was generalizing to all foreign profs (read the title of the thread), not just

  21. Nurse Practitioner Programs in Canada?

    priorities2 replied to helterskelter22's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Is it possible to attend an NP program in Canada and practice in the US, or vice versa? Does anyone know how difficult that might

  22. How do I choose which programs to apply to?

    priorities2 replied to Catfishjon's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You could go based on price, length, whether or not the focus/courses of the program look interesting. You aren't limited to just the information listed online about average GPA and competitiveness --...

  23. Am I the only one anxious to go back to school?

    priorities2 replied to richardgecko's topic in General Students

    This question is related to spirituality, at least for me. "Be here now." - Ram Das. At the end of spring, I know I'll be dying for summer. Gotta find ways to breathe and enjoy the summer, not...

  24. can we have an honest discussion about foreign profs?

    priorities2 replied to richardgecko's topic in General Students

    Just as not all American professors use the same teaching style, not all foreign professors do, either. Give each individual a chance before deciding you dislike them all... otherwise it's called...

  25. Is nursing school supposed to be harder?

    priorities2 replied to Lucidity's topic in General Students

    For those who feel their nursing school engages in grade inflation, what's your NCLEX pass rate? I know my school's is 92%, and supposedly there is some grade inflation going on there (I haven't...
