  1. Pre-Nursing Worries - Anyone Else Experiencing This?

    priorities2 replied to usfgirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I so agree with these sentiments. My ultimate goal is to be a mental health nurse practitioner and so much of the science feels slightly irrelevant, like it would be better to be learning just...

  2. Boston College Nursing

    priorities2 replied to lenac1122's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    For some reason this information doesn't seem to be available on the Boston College website. How long is the Master's NP year? Is it 12 months exactly, or is it more like an academic

  3. Did you feel CRNA school really prepared you?

    priorities2 replied to BritanyLPN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    One statistic that might offer an idea of whether CRNAs are actually well-prepared by CRNA school regardless of how they feel is the percent of CRNAs who make some fatal or serious harm-causing...

  4. Is this job (nurse anesthetist) really as good as Im reading or no?

    priorities2 replied to Zagnonian's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Just to play devil's advocate, "smart business decisions and connections" are a much less secure path to big bucks than an advanced healthcare

  5. Raising a family as a NP or an RN?

    priorities2 replied to GoBigRedhead's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm not even a nurse yet so I can't comment on RN vs NP stress levels, I do sometimes look at job postings for psych RNs and psych NPs as I want to go into psych but have similar concerns as you, OP....

  6. Psych RN job right after BSN graduation

    priorities2 posted a topic in Psychiatric

    Hello all, I'm planning to most likely go on to get a PMHNP degree at some point, but currently I'm just a sophomore in college. I'm wondering what kinds of psych jobs I could get as a recently...

  7. Question for Psych NPs/CNSs about 2013 code changes

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

    I spoke with a psychiatrist about the code changes. He said that since psychiatrists formulate the codes, the purpose of the code change is to increase their reimbursement. Psych NPs code like...

  8. Is taking A& P 1 and general psychology too much?

    priorities2 replied to TrishaJefferson's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you'll be okay with that schedule. However, just to play devil's advocate, I go to a college where the average gen psych exam score is around 73%, no curve, standard grade scale. There are...

  9. Finished pre-reqs....now the waiting game begins!

    priorities2 replied to SopranoKris's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just finished the min number of prereqs I need to apply to a nursing major for next fall. Very worried about how my chemistry final went, but I guess what's done is done. I know I have A's in Bio,...

  10. Psych RN job right after BSN graduation

    priorities2 replied to priorities2's topic in Psychiatric

    Orca and ddunnrn, thanks for your advice and warm wishes. I think it's great to know to remember to check your ego when working with psych patients. I bet it's possible to learn a lot from their...

  11. BSN Program - do you get to choose clinicals?

    priorities2 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi all, I'm applying to BSN programs and was just wondering to what extent you get to choose your clinical areas and your preceptorships. If you want to only work in mental health nursing, can you do...

  12. BSN Program - do you get to choose clinicals?

    priorities2 replied to priorities2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you for all your responses. It make sense that generalist training would be required for accreditation. I guess I'll have to find out how the preceptorships work at the programs I'm applying to,...

  13. Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP): My Personal Pro's and Con's

    priorities2 replied to Corey Narry's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Mmrb, I really like your point! I've heard too that nurse practitioners have been more than adequately prepared at the masters level. But it makes me wonder: How did other health professions end up...

  14. Is going straight into a DNP crazy or great?

    priorities2 replied to topaz3335's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Do you really need a DNP to teach? I don't know that much about it, but I've seen job postings for adjunct profs with an MSN (these postings were for psych nursing teaching

  15. Confusing chem test question, trying to see if I got it right

    priorities2 replied to priorities2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I said 3 because I didn't think I could conclusively say that they were boiling at the exact same temp, but the more I think about it, that one was probably right. Darn. The question is - Is vapor...

  16. Certification in Addictions Nursing Promoting/Protecting the Health of the Public

    priorities2 replied to sirI's topic in Addictions

    Is there a benefit to getting becoming a CARN-AP in addition to a PMHNP if you want to work in an outpatient setting with mental health/addiction patients? Or would most of the addictions-related...

  17. PMHNP---Help!

    priorities2 replied to mtsteelhorse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Though, the true salary range for PMHNP and LCSW vary widely. A supervising social worker at the VA can make almost 100k. You could get your PhD in social work, be a successful researcher and also...

  18. How common/possible is it for a BSN or MSN to move into health care administration?

    priorities2 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Let's say I work in mental health nursing as an RN for a year after getting my BSN and then go back to school and become a PMHNP... how feasible would it be for me to someday, after working as a PMHNP...

  19. How common/possible is it for a BSN or MSN to move into health care administration?

    priorities2 replied to priorities2's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, thank you for the detailed response! The reason I want to get a PMHNP degree is because I really want to work one-on-one with mental health patients/clients, but I'm also pretty interested in...

  20. PMHNP + online training

    priorities2 posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hello all, I live in a state that happens to have tuition reciprocity with University of North Dakota, making the PMHNP MSN quite affordable for me. This program looks good - the classes look...

  21. PMHNP + online training

    priorities2 replied to priorities2's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I actually misunderstood what I had read before. The preceptor must be a PMH APRN, but the supervisor at the site could be someone of a different mental health profession. I'm not exactly sure what...

  22. PMHNP + online training

    priorities2 replied to priorities2's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thanks for the response! I guess my main concern would be setbacks in the hiring process. I'd be willing to learn online if it meant saving tons of money and still being able to be successful. If...

  23. Anatomy, physiology microbiology OH MY!

    priorities2 replied to vthunstrom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, lots of people taking these classes in various combinations. I hope it's true that chem is a good base for anat/phys/microbio at my school. I'll be taking these three courses at the same time...

  24. Nurses, how are you going to vote? 2012 US Presidential Election

    priorities2 replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Stein/Honkala

  25. Entry Level MSN

    priorities2 replied to BRUINS1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Okay, thanks for the info. I'm still a sophomore in college hoping to transfer to the nursing program for my junior year, so who knows how the market will change in the next 4 or more years before I...
