  1. Rush University DNP Fall 2015

    DanaerysTargaryen posted a topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Sent in my application Monday, which was the due date for applications. Waiting for a response. Anyone else in the same boat? Any alums with experiences to share? I applied to the PMHNP specialty so...

  2. Rush University DNP Fall 2015

    DanaerysTargaryen replied to DanaerysTargaryen's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    DanaerysTargaryen replied to mistyrivers's topic in Psychiatric

    I'm sorry you find yourself in this position, Misty. I think if you are not in a position to change things for the better for your patients and for yourself (as far as liability, being asked to...

  4. Tips for Psych nursing

    DanaerysTargaryen replied to HeatherPsychRN's topic in Psychiatric

    Netanyami, you can start a new topic by clicking the green "start a new topic today" button at the top of the page in the forum. I do have thoughts on this topic but would prefer to share them without...

  5. MSW to PMHNP/FNP (dangerous ideas!)

    DanaerysTargaryen replied to NuggetsHuman's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would strongly recommend working for a few years with the BSN prior to and/or during your DNP program. You'll have a much better grasp on the medications, etc. you will be prescribing once you've...

  6. Appropriate to go to a patients funeral?

    DanaerysTargaryen replied to Emily456's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have worked in long term care and many nurses would attend funerals of patients they were particularly close to. I would think assisted living would be similar. Like others, I don't think there is a...

  10. Rush University DNP Fall 2015

    DanaerysTargaryen replied to DanaerysTargaryen's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Thank you, Kandice. I messaged you and mentioned I nudged them first with an email asking when I might expect to hear back- something you might try too if you haven't heard one way or the other. I...

    DanaerysTargaryen replied to DanaerysTargaryen's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Scheduled for interview 4/27. Wish me

  12. Would this help me?

    DanaerysTargaryen replied to jojo489's topic in Psychiatric

    Jojo, I worked in disability nursing for a short time and also worked as a job coach for developmentally disabled prior to nursing school. If you have any questions feel free to message me about that....

    I'm sorry to hear, mgfam. I have still heard nothing one way or the

  14. Rush University DNP Fall 2015

    DanaerysTargaryen replied to DanaerysTargaryen's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Thanks for the update, mgfam. It is hard not to get antsy or fear and/or assume the worst after not hearing anything for so long. I know that realistically it could mean any number of things, guess...

  15. I lack social skills and confidence. Is nursing a possibility for me?

    DanaerysTargaryen replied to DerAustin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it depends: Can you take a sort of "fake it til you make it" attitude and pretend to be a little more outgoing than you actually are? In my non-nursing life, I despise small talk and tend to...

  16. Perhaps this Wasn't for Me

    DanaerysTargaryen replied to PG2018's topic in Psychiatric

    OP: After rereading this thread and reading some of your later posts more closely, I feel my initial comments were possibly a bit harsh. I do still think there is more for you to learn from this...

  17. Perhaps this Wasn't for Me

    DanaerysTargaryen replied to PG2018's topic in Psychiatric

    I could finish my "required" charting in probably an hour or two of my shift. Make it 4-5 hours if you include a decent assessment of the patients I'm charting on and pulling and giving the meds. I...

  18. Would this help me?

    DanaerysTargaryen replied to jojo489's topic in Psychiatric

    I would prioritize getting psych tech or CNA experience while still in school, that is if you have time to work. I've found in nursing experience is worth a lot, education (beyond whatever is the...

  19. Rush University DNP Fall 2015

    DanaerysTargaryen replied to DanaerysTargaryen's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Thanks! I will do the same for you, of course. I know that in a sense no news is good news (or neutral news at least), I'm just realizing how much I wish I hadn't put all my eggs in one basket with...

    DanaerysTargaryen replied to DanaerysTargaryen's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Any other PMHNP hopefuls hear anything yet? I haven't and I'm starting to get

  21. Typical Day at Work?

    DanaerysTargaryen replied to RN1485's topic in Psychiatric

    Short staffing will make your work difficult and less enjoyable no matter your specialty. It really sounds as if you still have some passion for psych but your current workplace is hard… So I...

  22. Rush University DNP Fall 2015

    DanaerysTargaryen replied to DanaerysTargaryen's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Congratulations and good luck, iunurse! Chinicy, I am not aware of any metrics but also didn't look too hard… Rush was really the only program that met my needs at this point so I just applied...

  23. My First Code

    DanaerysTargaryen replied to motor_mouth's topic in Psychiatric

    Definitely a normal reaction, especially if it is a new experience for you. I tend to get hyper alert and hyper focused but I think both are stress reactions. It's a stressful situation for everyone,...

    DanaerysTargaryen replied to DanaerysTargaryen's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Thank you for letting us know, Chicincy. Hopefully we will all get interviews soon! I think they may be taking their time reviewing applications this year… one of my transcripts was late...
