   MSW to PMHNP/FNP (dangerous ideas!)

   NuggetsHuman replied to NuggetsHuman's topic in NP Students

   Forgot to say that I stumbled into teaching undergrad psych nursing this Spring and Summer. It's really fun. Generally, my MO is to assume most of the people are not remotely interested in psych nursing. My goal is to have them not be stigmatizing...

   NuggetsHuman replied to NuggetsHuman's topic in NP Students

   Oh, hi there. So here's what's happened since the last update. 1) I completed several courses in 2021-2022 year toward the MSN that qualifies to sit for the PMHNP board exam. Ironically or not, one of the classes was "family systems in primary ...

   NuggetsHuman replied to NuggetsHuman's topic in NP Students

   Oh... Also... Question for the old hats out there if you can remember. Was there a point in your NP Program where you had a momentary freak out (or 5) about becoming the person who drives a care plan and/or is deciding which meds among the cr...

   NuggetsHuman replied to NuggetsHuman's topic in NP Students

   Currently in the MSN from LaSalle University in Philadelphia, PA where I did my BSN. There are faster options, but I also like my full-time job. Currently taking population health... and happen to be independently working on a QA improvement pro...

   NuggetsHuman replied to NuggetsHuman's topic in NP Students

   BUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! I took my NCLEX this morning. Given feedback from my nurse coworkers, and the Pearson Vue "trick" one of them told me about, I'm reasonably confident I passed. Onward to the MSN application(s)!

   Thanks for the pro-tips, umbdude. I appreciate your following this thread over the years. I was trying to talk the nursing program into applying for a workforce development grant that would pay stipends to NP, MSW, MFT, and Substance Abuse Couns...

    Too old for NP school?

    NuggetsHuman replied to Guest1030824's topic in NP Students

    I figured I could be 50 and be a psychNP, or I could be 50 and keep on with being an LCSW. Either option is fine. But if I don't keep going with nursing education, I won't have the option to work as a psychNP. We aren't too old. We're just used ...

    Mid-school Crisis (PMHNP)

    NuggetsHuman replied to indomie23's topic in NP Students

    I feel you so much on this, Community. The barriers to accessing appropriate and quality mental health care for our FQHC patients are astounding and so many people don't actually understand what those barriers are, and why they're so insurmounta...

    Checking back in... 67% finished with the BSN! We had Genetics and Genomics on line for the Summer. Child and Family 2 was peds, which also was on line because COVID ruins everything. Clinicals were also on line as well, which I understand but feel...

    What's your ESSENTIALS?

    NuggetsHuman replied to Happy Life's topic in Uniform/Gear

    I'm not a nurse yet, just a nursing student. I will say that my "everyday carry" includes 2 pens: Pilot Frixion 4 color refillable pen (erasable), and a Pilot G2 extra fine black pen for anything that needs a legal signature.

    Next week is midterms. Officially half-way through with the BSN. ? Right now we are in Child/Family I, which is OB. Clinicals are 7 hours every Saturday. OB clinicals seem to be a lot of observation and not as much hands-on. Yesterday my primary job ...
