Thank you!

I have moments when I have emotional rollercoasters. I don't know if it's because of my monthly hormonal stuff or what not. I was never diagnosed with any mental issues and I did get therapies here and there due to high stress from personal life and work. I worked and still wroking in ICU throughout the whole COVID and the incidences made me feel very very very sad and depressed. Honestly I was one emotional wreck last year because it was really hard seeing so many deaths. I imean last year was pretty hard for most people I think. I felt like other people in the units were okay except me. I never really talked about this with others but who knows. My question is,, is PSYCH NP this emotionally stressful that I should not look into it? I always had a heart for psych, but I'm afraid that I will be depressed listening to other people's depressive stories. I try to put my self into other people's shoes so I can get swept into the feelings. Would this be a problem?? My therapist told me my emotional rollercoaster is normal since everyone has ups and downs which I'm still trying to accept. Last year made me think, well if I can't deal with human deaths and families not being able to be there physically when their loved ones die, I surely cannot deal with someone trying to commit suicide. Am I wrong to think like this? is your mental wellbeing on top of the line as a provider dealing with patients with mental health issues? Thanks in advance!

Hi! So I'm planning on opening up asu FB group for california people..

https://www.facebook.com/groups/692501117905515/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/2034578019997803/ :) I don't know if you made any of these groups.. but for other readers.. I just put the links here~

I'm going to do adult gerontology. Not all ages.

Thanks. What did you mean by seeing "all" ages? Do you see all ages as an acute NP?

Thank you. I'm from LA.

it's so hard to make a decision TBH. I'm having a hard time on which school. I not even sure if I want to work inpatient setting. I wanted acute NP so I can work outpatient specialty .. but do inpatient time to time. I live in Los Angeles and many jobs have this opportunity in big hospitals. Where else did you search into?

oh I see. Well, I was mostly interested to working specialty clinic which you can't really do for regular FNP from my understanding.

oh WOW!. thank you for that input.. Do you know if that lady is working in the hospital right now?

Hello! I'm deciding on which school to attend. Many people do not like online programs but I'm fine with it. I did my BSN via Grand Canyon University and I loved it. But for the ACUTE NP, I feel like I need skills? My friend went through an online acute NP programs and he's doing fine at a specialty dept. I was wondering if anyone went through Walden University acute NP online program or know someone who did. If you did, what was your opinion on it. If you know someone who went through the program, how did they feel about it? If you have any other programs that you like please recommend!

Next year? I wonder if we would be in the same class. I'm aiming for next year.. Although he said I can go in october.

One of the application packets, NURSE CORPS ASSIGNMENT PREFERENCE they asked: " On or after date available for:" AND "Preference" ... QUESTION, what are they asking? thank you.
