Wake88 BSN, RN

Hello. I just started first semester today. Your best best for updated responses would be to also join the Wilkes PMHNP facebook group. You'll actually get some helpful responses in a timely manner.

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, with maybe around $6,000-$10,000 saved as an emergen...

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. Planning to go to PMHNP school this Fall. OK ...

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 for the PMHNP this Fall. Got the purple ANCC study ...

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 rationales. Learned during nursing school that for whate...

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 where I'm halfway through but can't find any preceptor...

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 private practice? I have watch several videos from ...

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 hours total yesterday studying the purple book, and lo...

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 school (preferably online but B&M is fine) th...

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 still haven't gotten any response. Have heard ab...

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, nor the opinion that even though I've got 2 years of...

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 YouTube videos. Apparently there are a lot of nurs...

Thank you. I will. Not quite ready yet, but I would like to in the future.

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 students.

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 type 2 diabetes mellitus and everything nursing ma...

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 truly dangerous, and not right. What can be done? ...

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 ones we have in school, and Uworld barely has any ...

*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, BUT, in hindsight, it turns out she's seven shade...

This assumes we live in a world where members of upper management can do no wrong.

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 the cost? Increased prices for all. You increase th...

Ben Shapiro nails the issue on the head.

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 possible? Turnabout is fair play. You don't just ...

Frankly, nurses are underpaid. Considering how they're typically treated by certain patients and their family members they SHOULD be paid better.

*Shakes head* ^ I completely agree.

Good evening, everyone. I'm a 28-year-old man. I'm old, but determined to push myself to become a nurse. This Fall I'm going to nursing school full-time. I'm creating this thread as a be-all-end-all resource to ask questions and learn from nursing st...
