  1. Is age just a number?

    B52Bomber posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Oddly enough I've received more negative feedback from other NPs, CNSs, and RNs for obtaining my DNP degree at 27 years old than I have from other colleagues (I.e physicians, psychologists, PT/OT and...

  2. PMHNP in an ACNP/FNP position?

    B52Bomber posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hello, So this may be a simple question... or maybe not! I recently obtained my DNP degree with a focus in psych-mental health nursing - taking my PMHNP boards soon!! My first 3 years of RN experience...

  3. Which Level? Extending What?

    B52Bomber posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Numerous positions posted in Michigan (and elsewhere) titled "Mid Level provider" and "physician extender." First of all, who would actually be confident and proud to post a position looking for a mid...

  4. Which Level? Extending What?

    B52Bomber replied to B52Bomber's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Agreed. Although, I'm not sure if you were referring to me using a "denigrating tone" but in fact I was not if you refer back to my post. I did not say or insinuate the term should apply to PAs and...

  5. Which Level? Extending What?

    B52Bomber replied to B52Bomber's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes, yes it is. My intention was to create a title that would intrigue others to read my commentary hence why you're here and responded.

  6. Is age just a number?

    B52Bomber replied to B52Bomber's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    No problem, I love your responses it makes me think/see the bigger picture about diffferences in care and opinions of other providers. As for rate... considering it's Detroit, it pays the bills but my...

  7. Is age just a number?

    B52Bomber replied to B52Bomber's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Less than a year, but I'm in a private practice position with 2 psychiatrists and an NP (who is also a psychologist and prefers psychotherapy over med management). We also have 4 therapists. Mind you...

  8. Is age just a number?

    B52Bomber replied to B52Bomber's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I should've stated "don't solely provide." In psychiatry I'm not specifically concerned with WHAT their diagnosis is or WHAT medications I choose to use for treatment, rather HOW will the patient...

  10. Is age just a number?

    B52Bomber replied to B52Bomber's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Well NPs don't provide medical care anyway so that's a good thing :-P but yes these programs really promote the end product but don't tell you how difficult it is to get there (financially and not...

  11. Which Level? Extending What?

    B52Bomber replied to B52Bomber's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Most programs allow this to happen to show their large cohorts and acceptance/graduation from the program to boost their recognition and reputation. As far as those who wish to use 'Dr.' in all...

  12. Can someone who struggles learning skills ever be a successful ICU nurse?

    B52Bomber replied to purplegal's topic in Critical Care

    I was nervous too! My first nursing job was in a neurotrauma ICU with only student nurse experience in cardiac cath and telemetry. I can tell you it takes time, it was exciting to me so I would ask...

  13. Psychiatric/Mental Health NP (Family)... Can you enlighten me?

    B52Bomber replied to blrountree's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have yet to be in any circumstance using psychotherapy haha! So far I've been in PHP, outpatient and private practice settings primarily managing medications including alternative medicine but the...

  14. My professor told us NPs have no future...

    B52Bomber replied to anilechim's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    First off that company he researched for would payoff docs just to prescribe their meds (but I'm sure if NPs did he wouldn't be complaining about us being unnecessary to the health care world because...

  15. Problem with Custody Sargents

    B52Bomber replied to stedfast01's topic in Correctional

    I'm curious to know what the direct orders would be for them or the inmates? (You don't have to specify) but in the Wayne County jails in Detroit they have health administrators that refer to the...

  16. Which Level? Extending What?

    B52Bomber replied to B52Bomber's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think it's ridiculous. I'm curious to find out where it even originated. Once again physicians want to emphasize the fact they are "supervising" when really in the majority of my experiences they...

  17. "smart enough" for DNP program?

    B52Bomber replied to pinkiepieRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    The advocacy of advanced nursing education and clinical expertise is a main driver for your acceptance into a DNP program. Being able to acknowledge, address and affect healthcare and further the...

  18. Child Inpatient Psychiatry or Psychiatric ER?

    B52Bomber replied to kingvonnBSN2017's topic in Psychiatric

    I worked in an emergency psychiatric crisis center at a level 1 trauma center and not one patient or scenario was similar, including our frequent fliers. Our clientele included anyone from the...

  19. Geropsych?

    B52Bomber replied to kingvonnBSN2017's topic in Psychiatric

    I currently work psych home care and I'm consulted to do psych evals on various patients (primarily geriatric patients) for possible depression, increased agitation or other behavioral issues and even...

  20. Want to get a DNP but need help with a research project

    B52Bomber replied to tellabella21's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Well first off, your DNP will be a practice change project (quality improvement) not research based, you're going to use already published literature and data in your area. My first nursing job was in...

  21. PMHNP in an ACNP/FNP position?

    B52Bomber replied to B52Bomber's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Well, to be more specific I have an interest in neuropsych (disorders associated with TBI, neurodegeneration, neuroimmunology, etc) rather than treating S/p neurosurgery (craniectomies, endovascular,...

  22. Do you ever wish you were a doctor?

    B52Bomber replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    Do I wish I was a physician? - Nope Have I considered that in the past? - Yea I was accepted into graduate school for my DNP before I even finished my BSN! I knew I wanted to obtain "advanced"...
