  1. Psych NP to CRNA

    DrZaphod posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    DrZaphod posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  5. 2015 DNP

    DrZaphod replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

  6. Ancient nursing symbols

    DrZaphod posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello all, I have scoured the web and found nothing on ancient nursing symbols. We all know what the medical symbol looks like, but I was wondering if there is a specific symbol for our profession. An...

  7. Ancient nursing symbols

    DrZaphod replied to DrZaphod's topic in General Nursing

    This is all great information. I first posted this question in 2005 when I graduated as a RN! I'm a NP now, still looking for tattoos. Doneatlast - If you're a guy I'd put in the middle of your...

  8. APMHNP annoyed that they add FPMHNP..what now?

    DrZaphod posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So I graduated Jan 2009 with the APMHNP. First question - I was under the impression I could only see 17+, but I see all over the place that APMHNP can see 13+. Is this a state based or a federal...

  11. APMHNP annoyed that they add FPMHNP..what now?

    DrZaphod replied to DrZaphod's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Just got off with the ANCC. They state that the APMHNP exam covers 13 to end of lifespan, so that according to them, I am certified to see anyone 13+. However, it depends on the BON statute for the...

  12. APMHNP annoyed that they add FPMHNP..what now?

    DrZaphod replied to DrZaphod's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That would make sense, except for the fact that they just made up this new credential and it requires the same 500 hours as mine, and that's watered down over the whole lifespan. I'm calling the ANCC...

    DrZaphod replied to DrZaphod's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  14. Torn between FNP or PHMNP

    DrZaphod replied to HumptyDumpty's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Lucianne, When did the family PMHNP come about? I could swear the only choices when I started in Sept of 2006 was Child/Adolescent CNS or Adult PMHNP. I am SO frustrated - if FPMHNP had existed, I...

  15. Psych NP salaries...

    DrZaphod replied to jnd1213's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I know about the states where there is no BOM oversight, but I heard that you still need a collaborative practice with an MD in those states if you want to bill Medicare. Is that

  16. Torn between FNP or PHMNP

    DrZaphod replied to HumptyDumpty's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    In many states, FNP's can't collaborate with psychiatrists. I've been an adult PMHNP for about 1 year now and I have had some difficulties finding jobs, and I've been looking in multiple states. One...

    DrZaphod posted a topic in Oregon Nursing

    Hello, I am a PMHNP in MO. I have a MSN and am a RN with certification from the ANCC. I'm getting pretty tired of the BOM oversight in MO and remember that I love Portland. Can anyone give me some...

  19. If you were in NP school again, what would you do different?

    DrZaphod replied to NPs4health's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I just graduated from there, too, and am staring at enormous debt. I wish I would have researched a bit more, too. Just heard it was a great grad program from several CNS's and

    DrZaphod replied to newbieNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hello, I graduated early this year as a PMHNP. I did a lot of research on what NPs bring in for physician practices and, although I don't have time to find this info at the moment, I remember that the...

  21. Ancient nursing symbols

    DrZaphod replied to DrZaphod's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks. Yeah, I saw those. Even though it hasn't been a recognized profession, understanding history dictates that someone made a nursing symbol even long ago. Hrm. I guess I'll keep looking. Thanks,...
