    TheDude77 replied to xmas16's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yeah I went public school route. A coworker is going to Vandy and doing it in the 1 year track. She has to pretty much pay a boatload, struggle to work PRN, and take two weed out classes at once. Plus...

  4. Suggestions for online Psych NP Program

    TheDude77 replied to xmas16's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I wouldn't discourage just because of financial reasons. Many psych NPs make more than you think. It depends on area. Where I live PMHNPs work just as Psychiatrists do, and don't make much less. But...

    TheDude77 replied to TheDude77's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The Mosby patho cards....those are different from our class book authors right? I know I saw a workbook on amazon that went with the text but I'm pretty sure that we won't have time to work in a...

  9. Give me advanced patho advice!

    TheDude77 replied to TheDude77's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thanks! I'm concerned with the amount of reading. I've had some professors say don't read the book unless you need further clarification after listening to lecture. I don't know if this class is like...

  10. How does your program verify clinical hrs?

    TheDude77 posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Out of curiosity, I'm curious how programs actually KNOW that you have completed the requirement. Is there formal paperwork your preceptor

  11. Internship vs Clinical

    TheDude77 posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My final 16 weeks of NP school consists of a 360 hour internship. I have requested more information from the school about requirements but have not heard back yet. Does anyone know if there is a...

  12. Internship vs Clinical

    TheDude77 replied to TheDude77's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hahaha, no!!! We have 670 total hours. The hours above are the very end of the program. They call it an internship as these hours are to give the student more

  13. Any Pscyh NPs here?

    TheDude77 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am currently in school at EKU for my PMHNP. I am worried about finding a job locally (Louisville area) when school is done. The psychiatrists at my current place of employment tell me that there is...

  15. Kind of off topic..COTA

    TheDude77 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My newly certified COTA friend just told me that after gaining experience she will make almost as much as some NP's do. I really do not know much about her occupation, but do know that she earned an...

  16. Any Psych Nurse Practitioner's out there?

    TheDude77 replied to HealingThoughts's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    See, it's the opposite here in Louisville. Hospitals are just now starting to hire PMHNPs as salary. Most PMHNPs here round like doctors do and then go to their outpatient appointment. I wouldn't mind...

  17. Any Psych Nurse Practitioner's out there?

    TheDude77 replied to HealingThoughts's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Again, I apologize. Do you currently only do

  18. Any Psych Nurse Practitioner's out there?

    TheDude77 replied to HealingThoughts's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said some of the above things. BUT, a lot of us are looking for encouragement and while you have every right to express your opinion, I do not think you should discourage...

  19. Any Psych Nurse Practitioner's out there?

    TheDude77 replied to HealingThoughts's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    So did you just decide to come in here and bring everybody down because you aren't happy? And I guess you were too busy thinking of pessimistic things to say instead of reading my post where it says...

  20. Any Psych Nurse Practitioner's out there?

    TheDude77 replied to HealingThoughts's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I politely disagree with this. KY One Health will soon be hiring PMHNPs, there is great need in the areas right outside Louisville, correctional facilities and the VA are always posting PMHNP...

    TheDude77 replied to HealingThoughts's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  22. Any Psych Nurse Practitioner's out there?

    TheDude77 replied to HealingThoughts's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The Psych NPs in my area (ky) are few and far between. The ones I know work outpatient and on call for MDs as well as inpatient. They make as much as they want....very self driven. You can take on as...

  23. How does your program verify clinical hrs?

    TheDude77 replied to TheDude77's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yes! I would like to know! I do know that they are a little more lenient since preceptors are hard to come by in psych program. They are allowing us to follow md's as well as

  24. Kind of off topic..COTA

    TheDude77 replied to TheDude77's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    From what I gather, OTAs and PTAs make that much out of the gate and generally stay I'm that ballpark. Nurses may make bit more but we have to have the years of experience to hit what is the "average"...
