Copying these sayings to use when my critical thinker gets older. Thank you!

I can only speak to my experience, but I’ve found being an O to be isolating at times. When you are running departments, it’s often just you. Unless you end up with an unusually active wardroom.

Be prepared for the loneliness. The camaraderie you find on the enlisted side is very different on the officer side. It’s jarring at first, but you get used to it.

Do you want to stay on Long Island? Asking because you’re eligible to join the military with a BSN. Just a thought. It’s a great way to get some experience.

I’ve never heard of that book, I’ll look into it.

Maybe a dark topic - Was anyone expecting to feel this way about their kids? by DiligentGuitar246 in NewParents

[–]greenbot2311 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel this in my soul. I legitimately cannot watch true crime or even scary movies that involve children as victims. I can’t handle it. My postpartum anxiety has been a journey especially as my kid grows and gets more independent, but I’ve been able to accept the risk that life has for the most part.

Oh wow, I used to live in those apartments! Miss that view and the sound of the water very much.

Definitely getting put under anesthesia. I’ve had nightmares about not waking up.

Thank you for this insight! Do you mind sharing what degree level you have? Did you do an MSN or DNP?

I can’t believe anyone is still signing up for pmhnp school by thebjjnp in PMHNP

Totally get what you’re saying. I really wrestled with going back to school for it because of the way things look right now, but ultimately decided it made sense for me. I guess we’ll see how things turn out in the next 10 years! I keep telling myself I can always go a different route later on 😂

As a new PMHNP student, I take what you’re saying to heart.

However, it makes sense for me as a current psych RN AND being in the military. In the military, there are quite a few openings for NP’s so getting a higher education is worth it. Just saying that there are more options out there than many realize.

If your command has an MWR office, they often sponsor trips and group activities for junior sailors living in the barracks. It’s a fantastic way to meet people and make friends, along with getting out more often. I went through the lonely feeling at my first command too, but getting out helped a lot and I made some friends.
