  1. Switching careers and interested in psychiatric NP

    FuturePsychNP replied to Mkim680's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Sir, I don't believe equal pay is warranted. I'm not shooting anything in the foot either. For one, NPs are less educated. A physician with any sort of board certification has an undergrad degree,...

  2. Will 2 days a week be enough?

    FuturePsychNP replied to Little Panda RN's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Lucky you on the desk job. Yes, you'll be fine with that amount of training time. In med-surg, we never expected people that came in for a short tour (PRN folks) to really know what they were doing....

  3. Switching careers and interested in psychiatric NP

    FuturePsychNP replied to Mkim680's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    All of the organizations coming to campus recruiting the PMHNP soon to be grads WANT them for assessment and med management. All of the online jobs I've seen advertised for PMHNPs only discuss...

  4. Switching careers and interested in psychiatric NP

    FuturePsychNP replied to Mkim680's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Me too, tim. I find that I form the best relationship with the patients that most people find beligerent and antagonistic. The ones most of the girls on shift call "sweet" usually try patience to no...

  5. Male catheters

    FuturePsychNP replied to libran1984's topic in Men in Nursing

    Without knowing me, many will probably misconstrue this, but... I (RN/charge nurse) have never actually put a catheter into a male and only once by necessity have I put one in a female while working...

  6. Is Becoming A NP Worth It?

    FuturePsychNP replied to 8mpg's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    In lurking, I've seen a lot of people worried about what they'll make as a NP. It's all perception, I suppose. I have been in a profession in which I outranked people, but some of those I outranked...

  7. Switching careers and interested in psychiatric NP

    FuturePsychNP replied to Mkim680's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I switched careers specifically to become a psych NP, and I don't regret it. I'm still in the master's program, hence the screen name, but it's been worth it. Ok, at times I miss my old line of work...

  8. Are online ANP degrees destroying our credibility?

    FuturePsychNP replied to jilljw's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm in an online program (for the most part). We sometimes have to go to campus, a dedicated brick and mortar institution that is well ranked nationally, but I'd rather be in most classes. I think the...

  9. Np vs Rn

    FuturePsychNP replied to Nurseinthemaking20's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If nothing else, the NP program is worth doing assuming the cost isn't too great. I've learned more in the NP program than I ever did in the combined RN/BSN program or working as a RN. I recall...

  10. Is Tramadol a scheduled drug?

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

    I referenced Epocrates for this answer, and I've never known Epocrates to be wrong lol, but it states "Status varies by state. May be OTC, OTC w/ restrictions, Rx, or Schedule II-V; status determined...

  11. CPT code clarification

    FuturePsychNP posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Do any of you know about CPT codes? I've read over a list of them, and I will post links to those lists, but being that I've never been trained in this I don't know what the primary or "important"...
