  1. Non nursing PhD

    SDStudent1 posted a topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

  2. Will I have trouble finding a psych NP job without medsurg experience?

    SDStudent1 replied to alisongoldie2000's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think you will do fine. In those classes, the resources used is what helped me the most. For Path, I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend "Pathoma". I cant stress that one enough haha. Makes incredibly...

  3. Will I have trouble finding a psych NP job without medsurg experience?

    SDStudent1 replied to alisongoldie2000's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Short answer is No, you having med-surg will have very little, if any, effect on your job prospects once you graduate. Longer answer is that people with Med-surg experience will have an easier...

  4. Anki

    SDStudent1 posted a topic in Study Tips for Students's Share Tips

    I HIGHLY recommend using Anki. It uses spaced repetition to decrease study time while increasing retention. It also has several amazing add-ons. "Image occlusion" for A&P like information, "Cloze...

    SDStudent1 replied to SDStudent1's topic in Study Tips for Students's Share Tips

    I am sorry for the delay. I am just now seeing this. I didn't use pre-made decks during nursing school or my NP Program. I feel what the information each professor is looking for you to know is so...

  8. PMHNP Specialization

    SDStudent1 posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    What sub-specializations are available for PMHNP. The ones I can think of off the top of my head include ............ Forensics / Correction Telepsychiatry Perinatal Psychiatry...

  9. PMHNP Specialization

    SDStudent1 replied to SDStudent1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Both seem extremely interesting areas for entirely different reasons. Thank you very much for taking the time to

  10. PMHNP review books?

    SDStudent1 replied to JordanRobersonNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Just memorize the high yield information provided by the movies One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Shutter Island and 12 monkeys (in that order exactly) and you should be good to

  11. PMHNP Specialization

    SDStudent1 replied to SDStudent1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Regarding the DSM, thats a good way to conceptualize the ability to subspecialize in the PMHNP profession. I would not have thought to put it that way. I feel like the deeper I get into my PMHNP...

  12. PMHNP Specialization

    SDStudent1 replied to SDStudent1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Would you mind describing what a typical day for a Forensic PMHNP would look like, what you found interesting about it and how it differs from working on something like a Psychiatric ICU (where I work...

  13. CRNA Automation?

    SDStudent1 replied to Seth96's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Again, I will have to respectfully disagree. And again, I would use the cell phone as an example. The “Brick” cell phone was discontinued within a few years of its creation, but I am willing to...

  14. CRNA Automation?

    SDStudent1 replied to Seth96's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I feel like the horses in the 1800's told each other the same thing. They thought they had job security because the horse and buggy would always require a "horse component". Excluding the horse power...

  15. ACT nurse interview

    SDStudent1 replied to Kbearden's topic in Psychiatric

    It was a somewhat hard choice for me. I enjoyed working at ACT and really liked the autonomy. There was two main reasons. First, we had a really good program direct that moved up in the company and he...

  16. ACT nurse interview

    SDStudent1 replied to Kbearden's topic in Psychiatric

    I worked at an ACT program for about 1 yr before moving to an Inpatient setting. I thought it was a really good model for how to treat mental illness. It not only treated the illness itself, but also...

  18. Physical Assessment and diagnosis

    SDStudent1 posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The reason for this post is that I will be starting a "Physical Assessment and diagnosis" course next semester. For those who have previously taken this course, was there any resources (books,...

  19. Non nursing PhD

    SDStudent1 replied to SDStudent1's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Thank you very much for your response. You gave me a lot to think about. I went back and forth on going to Med school vs NP route and ultimately choose PMHNP for a number of reasons. That being said I...

  20. Resources & study techniques for the big 3 (Patho, Pharm, Assessment)

    SDStudent1 posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am in a NP program and have finished pathophysiology & pharmacology. I thought it would be good to start a recent post on resources that are helpful for the "weed out" classes Patho, Pharm, and...

  21. Non nursing PhD

    SDStudent1 replied to SDStudent1's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I am trying to keep an open mind to where my career may take me. I enjoy learning & working in psych (and science in general) so working as a PMHNP and research are both very appealing to me....

  23. FNP after PMHNP

    SDStudent1 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What are your thoughts on getting an FNP cert after a PMHNP MSN. I feel it would be beneficial to have a more in depth medical knowledge and background than a PMHNP program offers. I take the general...

  24. FNP after PMHNP

    SDStudent1 replied to SDStudent1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I reluctantly agree with you guys lol. I don't really have any interest in working as a FNP, I just wanted the certification and knowledge that comes with it. To be honest, I didn't give much thought...

    SDStudent1 replied to SDStudent1's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Neuro Guy, Thats a good point, I have been doing some more research and found a few that are more 'psych geared'. Also I may take another look at some of the psychology programs that have...
