  1. Psychopharmacology mystery

    healer_energy posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am a psych nurse practitioner coming to the end of my training. I have been a nurse for decades but not in psych so I am finding myself feeling rather lost in this new field. Specifically the...

  2. Psychopharmacology mystery

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

    Thanks again for the TMAP link. I shared your comments and the site with my preceptor and she agrees with them so I my confidence is restored and I have something to use as a basic start. What I am...

  3. Psychopharmacology mystery

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

    Thank for your reply! We had some TMAP algorithms given to us at school and I dug them up. Thanks for the great websit with them all! However while I was searching on line for them I came upon this...

  4. NP Psych opportunies

    healer_energy posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Reading the posts related to a master's degree from another field and transitioning into nursing, I feel I am in the same boat, in some way. I have been a med-surg/critical care/long term care nurse...

  5. Personality Disorder Test...how do you stack up?

    healer_energy replied to Thunderwolf's topic in Psychiatric

    Oh! Lordy! I have some traits of my mother! I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. I have to look into this a bit more!

  6. Systemic Formulas

    healer_energy replied to michelle95's topic in Holistic

    I just saw your messages about these formulas and I am currently considering going to a chiropractor who also uses these formulas. I was wondering how it was turning out with you. Chiropractors very...

  7. Anesthesia and the aura

    healer_energy posted a topic in Holistic

    I recently had anesthesia and I think what it does is strip off your aura because all noises and events around me just made me grip my head and ears and want to scream.:trout: It also felt like I was...

  8. Anesthesia and the aura

    healer_energy replied to healer_energy's topic in Holistic

    Thank you for this info. I just can't find any other stuff about it. I think you may be right. It's been three days and I still feel woolly at times. Can you give me any resources. Thank you

  9. NP w/no desire for RN?

    healer_energy replied to Pinoy2.0's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This is my issue too. I am wondering if it is different in psych, which is where I am. I have had decades of experience in med-surg, critical care etc and I have always been focused on the emotional...

  10. I think I want to be a psych nurse

    healer_energy replied to Drysolong's topic in Psychiatric

    I am just reading this almost a year later and wondering what happened to you over the year. But I wanted to say that there is a lot of mental health aspects to all types of "medical nursing". I have...

  11. New Job, Need some advice Please!!

    healer_energy replied to kwagner_51's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I think all the ideas are good. I personally cannot do them in any other way that straight from the front of the MAR book to the back. Sometimes I go backwards so I hit the farthest away ones first....

  12. What do you live for?

    healer_energy replied to Curious1alwys's topic in Psychiatric

    I do know this feeling and I think mine started when my husband died 4 years ago. Every day I opened my eyes and the world was still wrong. And now that I am 60 thoughts of retirement and "What's the...

  13. MS Psychiatric Nursing with no experience?

    healer_energy replied to krisssy's topic in Psychiatric

    I am in somewhat of the same boat. I am 60 and having completed my MS in Education/Med Surg 10 years ago I am now doing a post graduate track in psych. I am not going to be a NP but a clinical nurse...

  14. Nurses with bipolar disorder?

    healer_energy replied to lizzychica02's topic in Psychiatric

    Yes, I don't mean to be flippant but I think it is a truth that many, many people who go into helping professions are unconsciously seeking help for themselves. I was a bit surprised that you were...

  15. Some good web sites for students?

    healer_energy posted a topic in Psychiatric

    Can anyone tell me about some good web sites for psych students? Right now I am wallowing through the theorists and would love to find some good explanations and comparisons that I could just pop into...

    healer_energy replied to Carin's topic in General Nursing

    I live very close to this college and it is very scenic. There have been some pretty bad staff turn over's over the last few years in the nursing department but now it is much more stable I hear. My...

  19. CNS in Psych

    healer_energy replied to tjusnjon's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    Thank you for the input. I started school yesterday and so far it seems that I will get what I need. I am going to also take the one credit psychopharmacology course offered in the NP program. I don't...

  20. CNS in Psych

    healer_energy replied to tjusnjon's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    I am just about to begin a program leading to a psych CNS. I already have a MS in Nursing Education and I did do 2 courses in the psych track before I packed it in. So it will be 15 more credits. I am...

  21. I HATE nursing! (long)

    healer_energy replied to InfoNurse1595's topic in General Nursing

    I have to say, from my own personal experience: please don't teach. I have had professors in nursing school that came from situations not unlike yours, and they didn't last. The pressure of nursing is...

  22. Geropsyche, anyone?

    healer_energy replied to NurseCard's topic in Psychiatric

    I work in a nursing home with a locked ward for the Alzheimer residents and generally demented and some psych patients who are above middle aged. When we can't cope with the violence or other horrible...

  23. MARS missed signing

    healer_energy replied to mar326's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I think it is an endless problem with no real solution, although I thought having another nurse check them over is a good idea. But then who has the time? I think the environment make a great...

  24. Starting back into LTC-need help finding a good nursing assignment sheet

    healer_energy replied to katygirl's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I have always created a report sheet of my own, so I understand where you are coming from. I also don't like to use more than one sheet. It was when the sheet were copied with the back side upside...

  25. LPN's just glorified nurse aids in LTC? Huh?

    healer_energy replied to onehusbandsevenkids's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I have had just the opposite experience. As an RN working in LTC, it is the LPN's and aides that point me out as the RN, trying to make me responsible for this and that. Apart from some things like...
