Hello all! I am currently looking for online/distance programs for an MSN in F/PMHNP that provides great education and experience, preferably at a part-time pacing/option, as I will most likely be working part-time to support myself. I currently liv...

Hello all! I was wondering if anyone had any experience with distance learning variants of PMHNP programs, as my state only offers one, but I wish to apply to others just in case. Any and all help is appreciated :) kfitzy89

Is it reputable in Kentucky as a good university? Does the product seem adequate in preparing you? Thanks for all the advice and comments :-)

Thanks for the reply! Wow, you have a lot on your plate! Im guessing you go part time or do you go full time, too? How far along are you? Sorry I am looking at a couple schools and that was one of them, very curious here lol

Go to the dean/director of nursing at your school and have a chat with them. I'm going to be unprofessional, but appropriate when I say that your instructor is an evil witch (not the word I would have chosen), and needs to understand that technology,...

They can be a few reasons, but more as a general response is probably because the post MI patient is on a plethora of hypotensives, and straining their stool would cause a vagal response, thus instantly decreasing their blood pressure which can cause...

Still apply to new grad positions, and a lot of them. It took me 6 months to find a job and I landed it in a new grad float pool. If you have no experience on your license you are treated as a new grad in my books, regardless of how long ago you gra...

Nice! I am very jealous! University of Washington is supposed to be a great school! Was Rush the real deal? As in a real university and seemed it would prepare you to effectively pass the examination?

Nice! Care to share at which school and if you like it or if it seems like it will prepare you sufficiently?

Can any of you list or highly recommend the college where you completed your program? :-)

What school did you end up selecting for psych and would you recommend it? :-)

Hi, I am interested in Rush for psych and was wondering if you that are in psych wouldn't mind sharing some insight in the program?

USA, from what I read, requires at least 2 years of experience in your applicable program to start clinicals, so keep that in mind. I don't have 2 years psych, so I can't go there :-(

I would like to know more, too. Have you began a program yet?

Sorry, I meant to comment here. How is your program going thus far?

Hey! Just wanted to check in and see how things are going with your program! :)

Hello all! I was recently (today) offered a full-time position on a surgical sub-specialties unit. This particular unit, which is something I am not familiar with, incorporates mostly post-op patients, including a majority of cardiac/vascular, 1/4 ne...

Hi all, First off, thank-you for taking the time to read this. I really just need to vent and hopefully hear some very sound advice from all of the bright minds on this forum. Let me start by saying I moved to FL from MI back in January, passed my NC...

As an extern on a cardiology unit, one of our daily tasks was to remove femoral sheaths following a stent placement. Well, my first time I learned the hard way of why it is crucial to have gauze placed in proper areas between you and your patient. I ...

Thank-you all for your insights and positive affirmations! You all definitely helped me stay positive during a tricky transition in my life. I am pleased to say it is raining interviews this week, as I had one today and one on Thursday. I will be off...

Thank-you so much!

You're right, something is definitely better than nothing. Thanks for your comment! I just hope I don't get auto deleted because of the short dates :-/.

My next question is whether or not I should list my two months of working at that hospital on my resume? I definitely gained experience in those two months, but I also do not want to deter future employment opportunities with such a short time contin...

Thank you all for your thoughtful comments, I appreciate it! Unfortunately, when I said I tried everywhere, I meant everywhere, including the LTC facilities and the like. Most of the only open jobs are for DON positions and CNA/PCA types. I'm keepi...
