    PsychNurse24 replied to MentalKlarity's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It depends on where you live in this country. We do not have a glut of Nurse Practitioners here. NPs are in great

  2. How do we prevent Nurse Practitioners from undervaluing themselves?

    PsychNurse24 replied to MentalKlarity's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree with you, I live in a rural farm area where Universities are hours away. There is a high demand for Nurse Practitioners in this area—there is no over-supply issue here. In fact, there are...

    PsychNurse24 replied to cprimavera's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Still waiting to hear how you know that there are ill prepared NPs out there making mistakes. You just make this stuff

  4. We Must Demolish NP Diploma Mills

    PsychNurse24 replied to cprimavera's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Don’t care! Like I said I trust my own direct experience with my diploma mill rather than your anecdotal information. And I’m so glad you have “articulated the parameters many times”,...

  5. We Must Demolish NP Diploma Mills

    PsychNurse24 replied to cprimavera's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    So everyone is going to answer you that it is only the diploma mill online schools that are bad. Of course no facts to support this, just more anecdotal info. And of course even though I attend one...

  6. We Must Demolish NP Diploma Mills

    PsychNurse24 replied to cprimavera's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Wow, you’re making the broad statement that NPs are now incompetent, thanks to diploma mill schools. I know of a young lady that just graduated from one of your dreadful diploma mill schools. She...

  9. Brazil: Daily deaths near 4,000, accounts for one-quarter of the entire world’s daily COVID-19 deaths

    PsychNurse24 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Operation Warp Speed drove the development of a vaccine in less than one year. By the way, Trump’s critics said it could never be done. So much for downplaying the virus. Trump knew the best way...

  10. Is this a HIPAA violation?

    PsychNurse24 replied to guest0000005's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I was working at a hospital when they changed over to EPIC. During the extensive training they warned us repeatedly to never search our own name because that would automatically generate a violation...

  11. Questions about working as an agency nurse in a correctional job

    PsychNurse24 replied to felixthecat99's topic in Agency Nurses

    Are you currently an LPN or an RN? As an LPN maybe you’ll be passing a lot of medications. I am not a correctional Nurse but did apply for a job there once and received an extensive tour and also...

  12. Got The Vaccine! Share Your Experience

    PsychNurse24 replied to Nurse SMS's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I did read an article that stated zero deaths had been confirmed from the Covid shot. So maybe that is where SummutRN got the info. I don’t think they can definitively say that the vaccine caused...

  13. What's your dream nursing job?

    PsychNurse24 replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    I am semi-retired, but I don’t want to stop Nursing completely. I work PRN now, but the shifts are 12 1/2 hours. At my age, that is a long day, and I hate getting up at 4:30 in the morning to be...

  16. Ways to Tell if a Psych Hospital Will Be Good To Workers

    PsychNurse24 replied to Willofthewisp's topic in General Nursing

    I have been in psych for 11 of my 12 years of nursing. I have loved it. I have found psychiatrists to be the nicest doctors to work with. I have never had a rude word, ever, from a psychiatrist. And...

  17. Ways to Tell if a Psych Hospital Will Be Good To Workers

    PsychNurse24 replied to Willofthewisp's topic in General Nursing

    Ask who coordinates and has authority during a crisis, including restraints. When Therapists had authority, in my experiences, there were more restraints. Nurses generally have a better relationship...

  18. Biology or Chemistry

    PsychNurse24 replied to TheNursingdoll's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My program required Chemistry, Anatomy & Physiology, and Pathophysiology. It’s been so long ago I can’t remember for sure, but I think I had to have Biology as a pre-req for both A&P and...

    PsychNurse24 replied to MRaza's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    PsychNurse24 replied to Merrie82's topic in General Nursing

    Working nights is really hard for a migraine sufferer. I have basilar type migraines, and also have the brain fog for a day or two after each headache. When I worked night shift I was able to keep the...

  21. I'm a Monkey...

    PsychNurse24 replied to Merrie82's topic in General Nursing

    You might ask if you can start with four patients per shift. I did and they allowed me three weeks with four patients before I went up to five or six. Those extra shifts with 4 patients did help me...

  23. Yale Nurse Replaces Fentanyl Vials with Saline

    PsychNurse24 replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    I also have compassion for people with addictions. It is horrible to have such a desperation to use that you would steal and cause harm to others. That’s why I hope she gets treatment and

  24. My Experience of Trans Ideology and Nursing

    PsychNurse24 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Look up Gender Incongruence in the DSM-5. Still a DSM-5 diagnosis. Nothing wrong with having a mental health

  25. My Experience of Trans Ideology and Nursing

    PsychNurse24 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Knowing that gender incongruence and gender dysphoria are APA DSM-5 diagnoses does not mean that I, or others, think that there is anything “wrong” with transgender people. If you disagree with...
