  2. Is psych for me?

    EatYourVeggies replied to freckles23's topic in Psychiatric

    Some psych units are much better than others and some hospitals don't even have psych units or are as invested in them as they should be. My clinical rotation in psych consisted of two days on an...

  3. Experience vs. No Experience

    EatYourVeggies replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in First Year After Licensure

    While it is your friend's life and she can do whatever she feels is right for her turning down that ortho position was probably a bad move on her part and that hospital may not hire her in the future...

    EatYourVeggies replied to Nola009's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I may not be a nursing manager or HR person but I would classify your friend's situation as "job-hopping" and from what I have heard most employers do look down on this since it makes you look...

  6. Well, don't come back

    EatYourVeggies replied to HisTreasure's topic in Private Duty

  8. New Grad going into Mental Health??

    EatYourVeggies replied to anymeans2014's topic in Psychiatric

    Do you actually want to work in mental health or are you more interested in med-surg, etc.? If mental health is your interest then go for it! You shouldn't do a "year" in med-surg if it isn't going to...

  9. Any Psych Nurse Practitioner's out there?

    EatYourVeggies replied to HealingThoughts's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    From what I have heard it seems that RNs that work in psych get paid the same as RNs on other units, but I am not sure about RNS at SNF. I just accepted a position at a behavioral health hospital and...

    EatYourVeggies replied to Yukinara's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I am definitely willing to relocate but I would prefer to stay in my state. My boyfriend works as an IT analyst and his company lets him work from home nowadays which is very convenient for me :

  14. What will a bachelors in psychology get me as a nurse?

    EatYourVeggies replied to itsbekah's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Sorry I should add I didn't realize you passed NCLEX when I wrote my initial response. I would give psych nursing a shot if mental health is what you are interested in and then you can always pursue a...

  15. What will a bachelors in psychology get me as a nurse?

    EatYourVeggies replied to itsbekah's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    From my personal experience I chose a BSN over a Bachelor's in Psychology because nursing offers more options. If you get burned out doing psych there are other options for you in the nursing field...

  19. Will I be stuck as a Psych Nurse forever?

    EatYourVeggies replied to Peppermint_RN's topic in Psychiatric

    Perhaps try home health care on the side or part-time/prn at an LTC facility so you can further practice certain nursing skills that you may not use much in mental health. I know in my area they hire...

    EatYourVeggies replied to fiba's topic in Psychiatric

    I started college at 18 and originally was going to get my Bachelor's in Psychology and almost completed it but I decided that nursing was a better degree to spend my money on. I just graduated with...

  23. Racial Refusals In Nursing

    EatYourVeggies replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I find it ridiculous that these situations still happen and I believe hospitals need to have a no tolerance policy regarding it. My belief is you either get taken care of by whoever is available or...
