    PeacockMaiden replied to rachelaleanRN2B's topic in Post Graduate Students

  3. Another "Find Your Own Preceptor" Thread

    PeacockMaiden replied to Angeljho's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have been a psych RN for years and started to scout out for preceptors one year in advance to me even applying to a program. Funny thing is your colleagues will say "yes" to the idea of...

  5. University of South Alabama FNP program

    PeacockMaiden replied to Cauliflower's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am in the PMHNP program currently at USA. You can message me for details. But there are no study guides for the tests. There are no PowerPoints or video lectures. It is very, very

  6. AccentCare Behavioral Health Nurse

    PeacockMaiden replied to PeacockMaiden's topic in Psychiatric

    Well, in 2014 when I posted this question, I applied and was contacted by a recruiter who gave me a phone interview. He never called me or emailed me back to let me know my status on the position....

  7. Benzo free inpatient hospital?

    PeacockMaiden replied to PeacockMaiden's topic in Psychiatric

    It is frightening Meriwhen! None of the nurses agree with the psychiatrist's policy. This psychiatrist has a PA and a NP she oversees, and she FORBIDS them to prescribe benzos. In fact anything...

  8. Should mental health nursing be grouped with addictions nursing?

    PeacockMaiden replied to hatchit's topic in Addictions

    I a master's prepared RN who has worked in both an inpatient psychiatric facility and a crisis residential group home. I am in school for to get my psychiatric nurse practitioner certificate and a...

  9. Question about becoming an NP

    PeacockMaiden replied to lovepeacelove's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I am PMHNP student and I live in the Sacramento area. My preceptors, who are also PMHNPs, tell me that in the Sacramento area, PMHNPs make $65-85 per

  10. Books by Psych Nurses?

    PeacockMaiden replied to golson's topic in Psychiatric

    I have the book "Inpatient Psychiatric Nursing: Clinical Strategies & Practical Interventions" by Linda Damon et al. While I suppose it is like a text book, it gives good advice on how to deal...

  11. Looking for 100% online MSN to DNP that doesn't cost a fortune?

    PeacockMaiden replied to JerseyBSN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I'm doing the MSN to DNP program at the University of South Alabama. One of the most affordable. I think it's around $465 per credit unit. No campus visits

  12. Do I need to keep RN license active?

    PeacockMaiden replied to Alicia777's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It is my understanding that the license is RN, and the NP is from getting a certification, not another

  13. Do I need psych experience? PMHNP

    PeacockMaiden replied to mtg0884's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I believe that working as a psych RN should be a prerequisite to working as a PMHNP. Even though the role of the psych RN and psych NP are different, you still gain valuable knowledge on this...

  14. Security guards

    PeacockMaiden replied to studentnurse9806's topic in Psychiatric

    In my experience, sometimes CPI techniques don't work. Although the management will tell you that they should work, and if they don't then it's something you did

  15. Is a FNP working for a Psychiatrist legal ??

    PeacockMaiden replied to lmonet82's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I was enrolled in my AGNP program and the amount of information we had on psych issues and prescribing was a joke. I dropped that program and enrolled in a PMHNP. It really depends on the program,...

  16. Any psychiatric nurse practitioners? I need advice. Please help!

    PeacockMaiden replied to danniekim's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Definitely take the psych rn job! Just as the other poster said, you will gain valuable experience with this population. I do not think someone should be a PHMNP without psych working

  17. Home Health or Corrections

    PeacockMaiden replied to IndecisiveNurse's topic in Correctional

    Corrections for sure! The pay and benefits can't be beat. I did home health, and once you figure in the time you spend doing the documentation (it's very extensive), you're not making hardly...

  18. Anyone work for Telecare Corp?

    PeacockMaiden posted a topic in Psychiatric

    I was contacted by a recruiter who saw my profile on LinkedIn about a position for a inpatient psychiatric RN supervisor. I am currently a psychiatric RN at a different inpatient facility. If they...

  19. Anyone work for Telecare Corp?

    PeacockMaiden replied to PeacockMaiden's topic in Psychiatric

    I worked in a SNF before, so I agree even though the psych ratios can be challenging, it's better than the SNF

  20. Anyone work for Telecare Corp?

    PeacockMaiden replied to PeacockMaiden's topic in Psychiatric

    When the position was described in detail to me, it sounds just like a charge nurse position, not a supervisor position. They said it's 1 RN , 1 LVN med nurse, and 2 mental health technicians to 16...

  21. How important is science in psychiatric nursing

    PeacockMaiden replied to fiba's topic in Psychiatric

    You need chemistry for your pre-req to get into nursing school. After that, there is no chemistry in nursing school. I am in a PMHNP program, definitely no chemistry in this program. No need for...

  22. Direct Entry Psychiatric NP

    PeacockMaiden replied to historymajor's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yeah, I know there are direct entry MSN programs...I did one. But the program was broken up into phases, the first 2 years were simply to get the RN, and the last 1.5 years to get the MSN. But in...

  23. Major Boundary Violation

    PeacockMaiden replied to Psychedoutnj's topic in Psychiatric

    It sounds like you may have some boundary issues for sure. You may not want to continue working in mental health until you can have professional boundaries. It's too dangerous for you, your license,...

    PeacockMaiden replied to Metalchild's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    PeacockMaiden replied to DennisGray's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am just starting a PMHNP program in January. I have been working as RN in psych for 2 years now. I am also in my early 40's. Nursing is my second career. There is no FNP program with a specialty...
