    Wake88 replied to 2015bsngirl's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  2. Starting BSN-to-PMHNP at Wilkes University

    Wake88 posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    So I'm in a pickle and trying to figure out how to proceed. I've got $2500 saved up for PMHNP program. I work 5-6 12s a week, for school. I could attempt Fall semester this August 29th,...

  3. Staff Nursing is Exhausting

    Wake88 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Good evening all. This is a vent and a plan to exit the floor. If you're a nurse and you understand what it's like, awesome. LPN 2 years, RN going on 3. BSN obtained 6 months ago....

  4. PMHNP-BC, a UWorld Equivalent?

    Wake88 posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Anyone here know if there's a PMHNP-BC/ANCC module on a website like UWorld? I used UWorld for both past NCLEXs and it was worth every penny. Right now trying to figure out everything to study...

  5. PMHNP-BC, a UWorld Equivalent?

    Wake88 replied to Wake88's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    That's part of my habit, honestly, to start studying for the final exam super early. I did that with both NCLEXs and cleared them both in 30m at 85 and 75. I did over 9,000 NCLEX questions with...

  6. Wilkes University BSN-MSN PMHNP / Spring 2021

    Wake88 replied to 2015bsngirl's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm in the same boat right now. Looking to start the PMHNP program this Fall at Wilkes University, primarily because they help with finding preceptors. I don't want to be in a nightmare situation...

    Wake88 replied to HealingThoughts's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I know this thread is very old, but I'm an RN looking to start the PMHNP program this Fall, and am in search of answers. Would it be optimal to work inpatient PMHNP, then outpatient, then outpatient...

  8. PMHNP-BC, a UWorld Equivalent?

    Wake88 replied to Wake88's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thank you for offering your knowledge and advice. Part of me, when eager and anxious, just wants to hunker down and just start studying as much as I can in 30-minute increments. Just spent 6...

    Wake88 posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Good morning all. I've recently completed my BSN, and am now looking to start a psychiatric nurse practitioner program next year. The main problem I'm dealing with is trying to find a...

  10. PMHNP, Guaranteed Preceptors?

    Wake88 replied to Wake88's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Good evening all. So far I've got Wilkes University on my list. They have PMHNP program and they advertise helping to find preceptors. Have called them twice and left voicemails last week and...

  11. Making Nursing Videos

    Wake88 replied to Wake88's topic in General Nursing

    I've emailed my state BON and will be calling them tomorrow. All I want to know is if I'm allowed to created study guide videos for fellow nursing students. To be frank I don't care about opinions,...

  12. Making Nursing Videos

    Wake88 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Are nursing students and/or nurses with 2 years of experience or less allowed to make nursing-related information videos on YouTube? I've been told that only MSN and DNPs can make informative nursing...

    Wake88 replied to Wake88's topic in General Nursing

    The videos are more directed at nursing students who want to know what to do as nurses for 'X' disease process. Comprehensive videos that help nursing

  15. Making Nursing Videos

    Wake88 replied to Wake88's topic in General Nursing

    I find that very interesting, because on a large FB group I got screamed at for daring to state my interest in making informational nursing videos on YouTube. Basically I'd make videos on things like...

  16. Unsafe Working Conditions and the News

    Wake88 posted a topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I'm working as a nurse in a hospital that is severely understaffed, knowingly. Patients keep falling because there aren't enough staff to watch the TBI patients. It's getting to the point where it's...

  17. Nursing Student: Looking for Resources

    Wake88 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I bought an NCLEXMastery subscription for $15, and just bought a $49 subscription for Uworld's NCLEX-PN. I don't feel satisfied with these purchases. NCLEXMastery's questions are much easier than the...

  18. Dating Coworkers

    Wake88 posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    *GASP!* Say it ain't so! No, really. What's your take on it? Some have a golden rule: don't do it. Other coworkers are married to each other. I had a bad experience asking a coworker out in the past,...

  20. $15 Min Wage - Effect on RNs

    Wake88 replied to FutureDNP2021's topic in General Nursing

    Raising minimum wage is bad for the country for all the reasons Ben Shapiro mentioned. It's not even a debate. If employers are forced to pay employees flipping burgers $15, where are they to recoup...

  22. How do you deal with Doctors that insult nurses?

    Wake88 replied to relusanmi's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Should you have thicker skin? Sure. But... if it's deemed appropriate for a doctor to be disrespectful to nurses, what's to keep nurses from trolling said doctors in the most subtle and effective ways...

  23. Is money everything in this profession?

    Wake88 replied to WhyNurse's topic in General Nursing
