  1. Shame on you ANCC : Psych CNS: Don't precept Psych NP's

    PG2018 replied to dmarie82's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    In 2005, I was 2-3 weeks into a MA program when the Chancellor walked in, spoke very direct, but told us the program was new and not accredited. He told everyone refunds would be made, other expenses...

  2. Want to get a DNP but need help with a research project

    PG2018 replied to tellabella21's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Foam In, Foam Out: Do people really give a **** (or some PC title). Parents or Clinical Staff; Who Can Get Babies to Actually Swallow Their Medicine? Adventures in Smoking: From Nicotine to the...

  3. How low would you go?

    PG2018 replied to Goldenfox's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think so. Most NPs won't make 130 sadly. I'd love to have it for 16 hours a week. I could slide close to 300

  4. How low would you go?

    PG2018 replied to Goldenfox's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It does say part

  5. NP vs CRNA vs CNM

    PG2018 replied to Mpompo838's topic in Post Graduate Students

    You can place DVM ahead of MD. Clinical psychology PHD programs are hard to get in too I

  6. Considering PMHNP program, looking for input from PMHNPs or current students.

    PG2018 replied to MindfulMSWRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Mine was 43 with 11 having not one iota of relevance to a clinician. Another 3 could arguably have been useful, but the curriculum so was maligned with an inept GNP teaching that it too was without...

  7. NP vs CRNA vs CNM

    PG2018 replied to Mpompo838's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Nevermind

  8. CPI for a New Grad?

    PG2018 replied to m0ntyburns's topic in Psychiatric

    If you're in great need of work, target organizations with high attrition. These include nursing homes, jails, inner city environs, and here every mental hospital in the region. Such settings often...

  9. Becoming a psych NP... no psych experience

    PG2018 replied to Girlygirl69's topic in Psychiatric

    I've probably mentioned somewhere in this thread that I made the transition. ER RN to PMHNP. What I wanted to add was that the student I'm precepting with lot of inpatient psych RN experience seems...

  10. DNP Fluff

    PG2018 replied to Malenurse1235954's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Prestigious = cost. That's a problem. Any university should provide quality, clinically relevant education. I went to state U. Cost about 19k for my

  11. DNP Fluff

    PG2018 replied to Malenurse1235954's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I'm not even holistic. The system's indoctrination failed

  12. How to make a good impression precepting

    PG2018 replied to favthing's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm actually trying to learn how to

  13. DNP Fluff

    PG2018 replied to Malenurse1235954's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Why are nurses so afraid of these courses? Well, a third of my BSN cohort couldn't pass a test on pharm calc so they were dropped. Nursing is a qualitative field. I suppose the body of nursing should...

  14. DNP Fluff

    PG2018 replied to Malenurse1235954's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Have patients received improved services from DPTs, AudDs, or PharmDs? I doubt it but of course have no quantitative data. It seems counterintuitive to transition from pharm BS (five years) to PharmD...

  15. Highest Paid NP for 2015, According to AANP, Are NNPs

    PG2018 replied to SunshineeStudent's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'd like to work for them. I'm not sure about local attrition, but the pay has no parity with private practice. Nurses and nurse practitioners are lumped together whole NPs have many of the same job...

    PG2018 replied to SunshineeStudent's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  17. Highest Paid NP for 2015, According to AANP, Are NNPs

    PG2018 replied to SunshineeStudent's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Interesting about the neonatal folks. My state doesn't even recognize that credential. The total income looks higher for family psych NPs. Sad that the amount is that low, however. I've already made...

  18. ER Cliques and better assignments

    PG2018 replied to amzyRN's topic in Emergency

    I thought the ER had the worst cliques internally among any nursing unit I've been in. As a grad student, psych guy, I was ALWAYS given the rooms farthest away with a caseload of old folks trying to...

  19. Mental health patients and smoking

    PG2018 replied to lhall92's topic in Emergency

    Cigarettes are an amazing product. I wish Phillip Morris was my uncle. The time dose delivery, nicotine depletion, craving... astounding. Having said that, if they want to leave how can you keep...

  20. NP Prerequisites (pathophysiology)

    PG2018 replied to vitiana's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I had pathophysiology in my straight path BSN program. If you can get electives, try for a physiology or pathophysiology in the biology department. Biochemistry maybe. Vertebrate physiology or...

  21. Health administration vs MSN

    PG2018 replied to Ashtimus Prime's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I perceive the MHA as carrying more stroke if you're trying to separate from nursedom and become a COO, CIO, CFO, CEO,

  22. BSW/BSN then PMHNP

    PG2018 replied to psychnurse2b400's topic in Psychiatric

    I swear I typed "money," I.e. more degrees suck your

  23. BSW/BSN then PMHNP

    PG2018 replied to psychnurse2b400's topic in Psychiatric

    More degrees suck your, steal your youth, and add distress to your life. An unnecessary social work degree won't "empower" your NP career. Empower= social work buzz word If neuroscience is an option,...

    What's USAF doing with

  25. Shame on you ANCC : Psych CNS: Don't precept Psych NP's

    PG2018 replied to dmarie82's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    Their tests don't indicate clinical competency. Mine for NP more mirrored the present idealization of a CNS role, e.g. organizational consulting and staff discrepancies. They've got to draw the line...
