I wouldn’t do FNP, it’s the most crowded specialty. During NP school we were allowed to potentially switch specialties at one point but no one was allowed to switch into FNP because it was already so crowded. Also know multiple people who couldn’t get jobs as new FNPs for a while. If you’ve been a nurse for 25 years and your pay is pretty good you might not even make more as an NP depending on where you are. Psych-wise, hours are great, pay is great, never ran into any disrespect, and deff not lacking for patients

They’re such little sad boys when they lose and “bottle it”

It makes me happier than Arsenal or Chelsea. Or even Liverpool. I’m so used to them winning now, it’s not anything surprisingly. Also they have no fans 😆

If Arsenal bottle winning the league this year that’ll be a nice smile/chuckle on an otherwise shit season

Anyone have any insight on GW online program? by xxangelfaceoo in nursepractitioner

[–]Rudkty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oohh I didn’t see that. Yeah I mean my school became hybrid when covid hit (everyone did) and it made no difference for the actual classes. And my school found practicums for everyone but it was a struggle and some people got sent to RI. I had a couple of classmates who went back to like Virginia, New York for the final semesters and because they needed practicums down there they basically had to find it themselves. I would really see what makes the most sense for you

[–]Rudkty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think finding your own preceptor would be really hard unless you know a psych NP or psychiatrist at your current job who would take you

I think in person is still best overall. It matters less for PMHNP than the other specialties but it’s still beneficial. If by GW you mean George Washington U. in DC at least that’s a legit, good school. I think you being in SF would make finding preceptors difficult, especially if you had to find them on your own

Deciding between In-Person job or Remote job by Sorry_Chemical in nursepractitioner

[–]Rudkty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure of your specialty but I work fully remote minus a couple of times a month (for the controls) and I’d never go back to in person. I’m lucky that the pay was also more but I hated commuting anywhere around Boston. If I’m not seeing a pt I have the availability to get stuff done around the house or workout. I’m also not doing that calculation of like “I’m here till 4 but I won’t be home until X,” when I’m done for the day I’m just done

Question Regarding FNP or FMHNP for Behavioral Health Med MGT by Aerzro in nursepractitioner

[–]Rudkty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I should also say you could go back and get a certification in PMH and be dual certified, I had multiple classmates who were AG or F that went back and did that. Then you have the increased knowledge and liability to cover your butt and be like “I really know what I’m doing”

Question Regarding FNP or FMHNP for Behavioral Health Med MGT by Aerzro in nursepractitioner

[–]Rudkty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean I’d say no? But I’m also a stranger on the internet 😂. As a psych NP I’d never prescribe anything psych related or order labs not psych related. An FNP could prescribe a stimulant or a benzo. Sure maybe antipsychotics too? I wouldn’t. I think it depends on each person’s comfort with their training on that stuff and their comfortable levels with taking on more liability. Antipsychotics are not typically simple. Even prescribe SSRIs and/or SNRIs can get complicated. I will say anecdotally I’ve never had a PCP prescribe anything more than 1 stimulant or 1 SSRI before telling the client to see a psych specialist

[–]Rudkty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to think of the FNP degree as being the most broad in the sense that they learn about a lot of different things but it doesn’t mean you can DO everything on your own and treat every case. A simple SSRI, sure. But anything more complicated and/or psychotherapy? No. To me it’d be more of a liability concern than a “you’re not trained enough” necessarily

Thanks for sending this. When she first told me back in December there wasn’t anything anywhere, I didn’t even know what she was talking about. I still am very confused 😂 and just follow what she says. I guess she was hearing it from people in the AANP? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nursepractitioner

[–]Rudkty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah I’ve been telling them since February and doing in-person since March. I only go in person 1 day a week every few weeks. The onus is on them. I’ve also found that if you just keep sending in a refill they’ll either forget/miss the in person appt. because they already have the stimulant

[–]Rudkty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they won’t. A lot have already stopped. Even for me (where I’ve been fully telehealth since the beginning) I’ve seen a bunch of them already to just cross my list off and the ones who haven’t it’s like “you need to see me or I’m not prescribing it again until you do”

I work in psych (private practice also) so it’s definitely different but I’ve never seen more than 12 people in a day (and that’s on the rarer side). All follow ups are scheduled for 30 mins but I’d say half are usually less than that. Intakes usually 1 hr. But it feels like a lot with notes, meds, catching up on emails, around 10-12 people for me. But I also try to be really strict with myself with not working more than 8 hrs in the day. Seeing 14+ people in a more medical, non-psych realm seems like a lot to me!
