  1. school decision help: Emory MN pre-licensure vs RUSH GEM

    Nimrodel replied to waterair's topic in School, College Programs

    I'd like to clarify: is this decision for BOTH your MSN and phD automatically, or is just the MSN, and you're reflecting on future options? My two cents: nursing doesn't care as much about name...

  2. Inpatient psych patients refusing to wear ID bracelets, so scanning compliance is poor - what is your practice?

    Nimrodel replied to deweydecimal13501's topic in Psychiatric

    We have had this issue also. Management says: offer them a new ID band at each med pass. Of course, sometimes that just sets the pts off (not to mention, slows med pass - there's one medication nurse...

  3. DNP Public Health Nursing vs Population Health Nursing, thoughts?

    Nimrodel replied to bsnorbust's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    What do you want to do? You say you want increased growth, autonomy, salary; those could likely be obtained without a DNP. Rather than looking at it as "what can I do with a DNP", consider it as "how...

  4. Understaffed and feeling unsafe

    Nimrodel replied to jnks's topic in Psychiatric

    Re CA staffing, yes, only psych hospitals which are attached to a “medical” hospital have ratios. Otherwise the magic 1:7 does not exist in freestanding psych

  5. Scary Paranoid Thought

    Nimrodel replied to paramedic-RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    As an RN I’ve called in scripts, including controlled substances once in a while, at work. So I’m not sure what would stop that honestly. Hopefully the pharmacy has some form of

  6. How to Prepare for First Day on the Job

    Nimrodel replied to ForTheKids's topic in Critical Care

    I do not have ICU experience but I am a fairly recent graduate and honestly I have always struggled a lot with skills (in that I can do them, but it seems to take me a couple more tries than other...

  7. How do you become a palliative care NP?

    Nimrodel replied to lemonlove's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    As others have mentioned there are various program options. CA specific, I know UCSF has a palliative care subspecialty for NPs. If relocating is an option, there are also a select few palliative...

  8. Stanford vs UC Salary New Grad

    Nimrodel replied to kmalone's topic in First Year After Licensure

    For any UC, because they are government jobs, you can look up “UC (whichever one) salary scales”, sometimes you gotta throw a health in there or something. The title code for nurses with...

  9. Anyone NEVER been hit/hurt working psych?

    Nimrodel replied to kingvonnBSN2017's topic in Psychiatric

    I've been in psych for a year now. So far I've dodged everything ;) but yes, I've been spat at, patients tried to bite me, kick, hit, etc. Not sure when my dodging luck will run out

  10. Want to leave Psych for Med Surg or something else...

    Nimrodel replied to Dulari94's topic in Psychiatric

    You could look into doing a refresher course. The BRN has a list of them (not approved or anything, but just as a resource). The content varies, but I imagine some of them review some clinical skills...

  11. Senior practicum in oncology unit

    Nimrodel replied to Wendy_z's topic in Oncology

    Hi! I am about halfway through my oncology preceptorship. I’d say the biggest way it affects my learning (when contrasted with med-surg) is just there are some things I don’t get much exposure...

  12. Trans Patient

    Nimrodel replied to Neo Soldier's topic in Psychiatric

    Trans guy here - She's not male. That's an inaccurate and harmful assumption. Other people have made good points regarding policy and patient safety, but I'd like to address something else. Nearly...

  13. Psych Nursing - Boring?

    Nimrodel posted a topic in Psychiatric

    Hi all, So I'm a nursing student and we are halfway through our mental health clinical rotation. I am finding it completely boring, and so are many of my classmates. It seems as though the nurses only...

  14. PMHNP & LCPC Advice Needed

    Nimrodel replied to sdeymonaz's topic in Psychiatric

    Some PMHNP programs include a fair amount of therapy training. There's not really a practical reason to pursue LCPC - it's years of additional schooling without much payout. With PMHNP, you can do...

  15. gender "issues"

    Nimrodel replied to rac1's topic in Psychiatric

    You claim to be open to other viewpoints and professional opinions, and yet your words very clearly indicate that you have made up your opinion and don't care who you harm by having that opinion. I'm...

  16. gender "issues"

    Nimrodel replied to rac1's topic in Psychiatric

    Hi! Trans (FTM) nursing student here who is doing their best to not be offended at the view of professionals that my identity is a disorder... Doing their best but also this is a highly personal issue...

  17. PHN as prep for FNP

    Nimrodel posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm a current BSN student who's trying to figure out what I'd like to do after graduation. I want to get my FNP further down the line and go into primary care. In the meantime, my first choice would...

  18. WHNP or FNP

    Nimrodel replied to SaraBSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm in northern CA, and I know around here PP actually prefers to hire FNPs to WHNPs/CNMs, although it varies by

  19. TEAS VI - Calculators?

    Nimrodel posted a topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I'm studying for the TEAS, which I plan on taking late this year. Yeah, that's a while out, but I'm paranoid about it lol. My understanding is that on the TEAS V, you weren't allowed a calculator, so...

  20. I'm not "intelligent." Do I have any business being a nurse (and other questions)?

    Nimrodel replied to The_Muffintime's topic in General Students

    Nursing school isn't easy and it demands people have a certain grasp on the material in order to continue with it. You wouldn't have gotten this far unless you had a decent understanding of the...

  21. California Nursing Advice

    Nimrodel replied to NorCalPal's topic in General Students

    I think you're going to have a tough time getting into a CSU program; most require a more competitive GPA, and there's no guarantee that you'll be able to keep straight A's your next year in college....

  22. Is it a bad idea to tell schools you want to do psych nursing?

    Nimrodel replied to Marina1989's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My end goal is also PMHNP (although I may do FNP first for some versatility, but we'll see) and the advice I've received is to not say I want to be a nurse practitioner because somehow people feel...

  23. Any pre-nursing studenets want to talk???

    Nimrodel replied to Gemini616's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I only applied to one nursing school for this fall, so it's high stakes for me and I'm super nervous. I didn't apply to any other ones cause I need to stay local (I live at home and can't afford to...

  24. Two classes this summer for pre-req

    Nimrodel replied to Aurora03's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That...sounds brutal. How long is your summer session? I'd strongly advise taking both of them at once unless your summer session is 12

  25. How many hours did you work during prerequisites?

    Nimrodel replied to Skippy97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in my last semester of prerequisites. Currently working 24 hours a week but also taking 17 units. My 17 units are microbiology, human development, public speaking, philosophy, political science,...
