  1. Psych NP or Clinical Psychologist???

    PG2018 replied to heatherjoyce1's topic in Psychiatric

    I think a PsyD could be molded into the supreme path to being a mental health practitioner. Policy would need an evolution as well. How is for a different Convo. A lot of psychologists only eval and...

  2. What's it really like?

    PG2018 replied to julesjameson3333's topic in Psychiatric

    For PMHNP. 1. No. Could. Don't wish to. 2. Yes. I'm solo in my region and that's the best treatment I could get. 3. Double yes. 4. State U. Cost, time, didactics and course content. Provided...

  3. Meds in jail first 30 days

    PG2018 replied to amesly15's topic in Correctional

    Yeah it's the plight of us morons who agree to manage inmate health. Same story everywhere. When I worked it, we didn't do antidepressants. We looked for the cheapest meds for HTN and DM and gave...

  4. NP vs CRNA vs CNM

    PG2018 replied to Mpompo838's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I like to sit and talk (but not for more than 15 minutes) > psychiatry I don't like getting up early, critical care, or IV and anything connected to them I do like sleeping patients and intubating...

  5. Psych RN Reading List

    PG2018 replied to Krzysztof's topic in Psychiatric

    Psychiatric Times is free. It's a nice read although not geared directly to nursing

  6. Tampa ARNP-one yr post grad still no job!

    PG2018 replied to Agriffin2's topic in Advanced Practice

    It's not meant to be helpful as much as it is an acknowledgment of the conundrum. I'm glad you identified the collegiatlity. I was afraid my tones would step on

  7. How are you saving for retirement?

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

    I'm at a Starbucks right now or I'd go back and look. I presently have MetLife Income Guard for disability. As I understand it, the policy is built to mirror the Own Occupation" rider I purchased...

  8. PMHNP & Suboxone

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

    I work for an organization providing comprehensive treatment to SMI patients. The clozapine patients have come from hospitals, community MH, private practice, inheritance, etc. Labwork is hard to...

  9. PMHNP & Suboxone

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

    I got some information once we could take the certification course, which I wanted to do, but we can't prescribe as of yet. I'm not sure why the hang up. Having said that, I'm sick of absorbing...

  10. How are you saving for retirement?

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

    Like I said....

  11. Duel NP/LCPC programs?

    PG2018 replied to nlombardi's topic in Psychiatric

    Go psych NP and test the waters. If you want to do more therapy and be more competency get certified in CBT, IPT, DBT, EMDR, or whatever. In reality, she'll find she can reach further and make more...

  12. How are you saving for retirement?

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

    Dave Ramsey essentially targets people who I'd say make about 40k/yr. Also never see someone who doesn't merely charge a flat

  13. How are you saving for retirement?

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

    Avoid "fancy" cars. Don't reach for the "lifestyle." Contribute at least what your employer will match to your employer retirement plan. Mine doesn't have any match of substance although I still...

  14. How many NPs have had to prescribe or diagnose a patient?

    PG2018 replied to Ashtimus Prime's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    All of them. But generally after the patient submits their own diagnoses; ADHD and Panic. Lookin' for Xanax and Adderall, baby. I patented a vending machine in the waiting room to dole out controlled...

  15. FNP pay

    PG2018 replied to Littlenurse08's topic in Advanced Practice

    I think I made like 24 as a lowly ER murse in a town of 35,000 nestled in a southern state. It was like 22 + critical care differential. Seems like they won't be paying you enough. I can't help but...

  16. Graduating BSN soon....next PMHNP

    PG2018 replied to StocktonNurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Get the least expensive state school you can get. Maybe Uncle Sugar will even pay for it. Next, get a job like urgent care while in school. You needore exposure to stomatic medicine, and I think ALL...

  17. The Law School Problem (oversupply)

    PG2018 replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Well, in 2009 I started studying for the LSAT. Then, I learned lawyers had not policed themselves and jobs/incomes aren't what I wanted. Back to the drawing board. I make bank off of Medicaid of all...

  18. Military Acute Care Nurse Practitioner

    PG2018 replied to bnw6385's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Why do you work for RN wages? I've made more this year than three years cumulative as I did

  19. Military Acute Care Nurse Practitioner

    PG2018 replied to bnw6385's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Familiar isn't the word. My surveys of health professions recruitment staff are along the lines of "we know they exist but what you do or where you go" is as well documented and understood as the...

  24. PMHNP and CNM?

    PG2018 replied to Egeria's topic in Advanced Practice

    I don't know about NPs, but physicians are offered dual residencies, I.e. med-peds, family-psychiatry, et al. Short of academics, they all seem to find one job/field/clinic and work in that capacity....

  25. DNP Fluff

    PG2018 replied to Malenurse1235954's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I continue to be puzzled why the clinically relevant courses aren't even offered in master's settings for NP students. Ok, so research, advanced research, advanced community health (*** is...
