  1. Is ANP( completed MSN) Cert necessary to get into a PM in Psych program

    FuturePsychNP replied to mona b RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Oh, I'm sure it won't

  2. Not sure this environment is for me

    FuturePsychNP replied to tailsspin's topic in Male Nursing Students

    What are you doing signing their papers?! You just shot yourself in the foot by admitting to it. NEVER sign anything of punitive action in academia or the workforce. Sign traffic tickets though...

  3. Not sure this environment is for me

    FuturePsychNP replied to tailsspin's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Start taking a pocket recorder and recording them. Use it to your advantage. I cannot stand people like that at all. I had an instructor in school that didn't like me, wrote me up with blatant...

  4. Nursing School Burnout - RANT!

    FuturePsychNP replied to QuarterLife88's topic in General Students

    By the time I finished my BSN program (which was 2 years) I couldn't stand anything about nursing, lol. I was so sick of having it fed to me everyday. I worked full-time while going to school so I...

  5. Why a Nurse?

    FuturePsychNP replied to Ant24's topic in Male Nursing Students

    In another career I became interesting mental health and psychiatry and saw that the best involvement I could have in mental health would be as a psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner. I had...

  6. Which specialty compensated the most financially?

    FuturePsychNP replied to hik9258's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I believe CRNAs still command the highest salary (if you can find a position), but if you could get an NP position associated with cardiothoracic or neurosurgery you'd probably do well also....

  7. Is ANP( completed MSN) Cert necessary to get into a PM in Psych program

    FuturePsychNP replied to mona b RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Is the test and associated fees really that much? Just take the test. I would. You don't have to use it, and I don't think malpractice increases because of knowledge, lol. You could also work in...

  8. Switching careers and interested in psychiatric NP

    FuturePsychNP replied to Mkim680's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    No, academic salaries are smaller because of funding. Public universities are funded largely through legislative appropriation as well as other government measures, and since funding has to be...

  9. Answers needed on becoming a navy nurse!

    FuturePsychNP replied to May2113's topic in Government, Military

    I actually rejected an opportunity to direct commission to 0-2 due to the outcome of the last presidential election. I can't serve with Obama as the leader. Sorry if that offends. Just my take on...

  10. Day ONE

    FuturePsychNP replied to wierhere's topic in Male Nursing Students

    A&P, particularly the P, is my favorite part of healthcare. Physiology, pathophysiology, pharmacology, psychopathology are really great. Running IV pumps, giving feedings, tending to wounds,...

  11. Attitude Towards NP Students

    FuturePsychNP replied to Heart2015FNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I do almost all of my classwork while I'm at work and have books laying all over the desk. I'm at work now actually. I take an extra day off here and there to do school stuff. I'm trying to get...

  12. Switching careers and interested in psychiatric NP

    FuturePsychNP replied to Mkim680's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    History is always slanged towards one party. If NPs wrote the book then the book will make NPs out to be more of a heroin, i.e. rising from meager hospital wards to caped, provider. I stand by my...

  13. General demeanor and behaviour as a male SN

    FuturePsychNP replied to pacionne's topic in Male Nursing Students

    LOL. Thanks for the um

  14. From Cop to Nurse

    FuturePsychNP replied to blueline's topic in Male Nursing Students

    PM

  15. Any fellow EMT's out there?

    FuturePsychNP replied to kbx827's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I became an EMT while getting my first degree many moons ago. After I got out I actually went to paramedic school at night and worked part-time as a paramedic for about eight months mostly a Saturday...

  16. Help with OB and Peds

    FuturePsychNP replied to Iamaboyandanurse2b's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Quite frankly, I made a C in it and was glad to get it. A's in everything else. I shouldn't admit this I suppose, but I didn't crack the book all semester. I remember sitting by the only other male...

  17. Male nursing student with power?

    FuturePsychNP replied to Eterrybe's topic in Male Nursing Students

    You'll find that will perpetuate throughout your career. I got that in school, and I get it at work. Even after explaining that I'm a RN people still assume I'm a doctor. Male and female patients,...

  18. General demeanor and behaviour as a male SN

    FuturePsychNP replied to pacionne's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Use your testosterone. That's why you have it, grasshopper. Remembering who is in charge and what the rules are stand up for yourself, do what you think is right, stick to your guns where warranted,...

  19. How are male nursing students perceived?

    FuturePsychNP replied to erikmm291's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I went through nursing school as a career changer and had fortunately reached that time in development where you may truly say, "I don't care what anybody else thinks." And I don't. I wear boots and...

  20. nclex-rn in 3 days!

    FuturePsychNP replied to odeth1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I remember taking the NCLEX and thinking, "Where are these questions coming from?" Frankly, I made a random, semi-educated guess on 2/3 of them at least, but I passed. I left there thinking, "If...

  21. Switching careers and interested in psychiatric NP

    FuturePsychNP replied to Mkim680's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    What about anything I said was hostile? I'm not hostile. I find however, in 2013, when people are in opposition to another then the differing party interprets that as being hostile. I guess it has...

  22. Switching careers and interested in psychiatric NP

    FuturePsychNP replied to Mkim680's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm not defending it, lol. I'm just saying it's not a big deal. Nursing is unique. Often nurses aren't reimbursed more for advanced degrees. I had another career before I became a RN, and we did...

  23. Top 10 Nursing Supplies

    FuturePsychNP replied to JenLahaye's topic in General Students

    Hey, if you can swing it get some gift cards to some eating establishments and join a gym if you're not already in one. Eating and exercise are conducive to learning and life. I work out so I can...

  24. Top 10 Nursing Supplies

    FuturePsychNP replied to JenLahaye's topic in General Students

    When I was in school I tried to print out all of my stuff at school. Fortunately, the nursing building had its own computer room. I figured since I was already paying an obligatory fee every...

  25. Switching careers and interested in psychiatric NP

    FuturePsychNP replied to Mkim680's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    What shall I see? Perhaps I see that before nursing needs to concern itself with salary that the many "professional" organizations that "represent" nursing need to get on board with what nursing is...
