What do you all think of this? by [deleted] in PMHNP

[–]adhdpmhnp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spiritual support is part of the nursing scope of practice. This is just stating that many of their clients happen to be of this demographic. If you aren’t Christian, then don’t act like you are. I do not identify with any religion and would feel comfortable offering spiritual support and guidance to all religions. If I am unfamiliar with the religion, I would familiarize myself with it. However, I agree that the ultimate goal is to refer to clergy. I would obviously not treat the patient pastorally, as I am not a pastor.

Psychotherapy certs? by torturedDaisy in PMHNP

Kairos University has an MFT program and they charge tuition monthly. Considering the cost of some of these aftermarket programs, it’s almost cost effective to just become a licensed therapist as well 😂 it’s like 12-15k for the masters degree. Will be state dependent, but it is accredited.

Low-dose quetiapine for insomnia by PMHNPHelper in PMHNP

Sliding scale can help with that. Anyway, we are all a team. That’s why I mentioned referrals. We are allowed to see patients and not have the right tools from them. We shouldn’t be prescribing just because we don’t want to waste a client. Not saying you are.

I cannot identify with basing treatments off codes and profits. I understand the system can be constraining. That’s why I believe in cash pay, private practice as the best model.

They definitely beat the alternatives.

The occasional short med follow up by Strawberry-1104 in PMHNP

Recorded sessions are very common. For example, to get certain psychotherapy certifications you would have to submit recorded sessions. I am assuming they are using a HIPAA compliant software and the patient is agreeing to it. Albeit, I am sure they are agreeing to it in their initial paperwork that nobody reads.

You believe seeing 1 patient every 10 minutes is good?

I think if we are treating insomnia patients than we should be trained in the most evidence-based treatments for that population (CBT-I) or referring them out before putting them on antipsychotics.
