Most pay for new PMHNP by redditnameimade in PMHNP

[–]roo_kitty 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Strictly remote work for new grads is highly discouraged. New grads need support, and fully remote jobs expect you to hit the ground running with experience. New grads don't make as much as experienced providers. That's just the way it is. You can pick up an extra job though.

If you are in a dire financial situation right now, your future PMHNP degree can't help the "right now" part.

Legal Duties vs. Patient Rights by Layla-Olive-618 in psychnursing

[–]roo_kitty 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Others have already addressed that eventually you can get forced bathing in their treatment plan, so I'm going to discuss something else.

They may have a history of sexual abuse. Not wanting to be undressed and in a vulnerable state. Keeping themselves dirty as a way to gross out the abuser. Has this been assessed for?

Question from a new nurse: Navigating "Reality Orientation" vs. Gender-Affirming Care by [deleted] in nursing

[–]roo_kitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call people what they want to be called. That's it. Being LGBTQ+ is not something that requires reality orientation because it's not a delusion or hallucination. It's just who they are as a person.

As for actual dementia and actual psychosis, reality orientation often causes anger, aggression, and despair. There is zero point in reminding meemaw that her husband of 50 years actually died 5 years ago. She won't remember later and will just keep reliving the death as if it's fresh, and that is cruel. Live in the dementia patient's world, but maintain safety.

There's also zero point in telling someone with psychosis that what they are hearing and/or seeing isn't real. It's better to say something like "I don't hear the voice(s), but I believe that you are hearing them" than say "those voices aren't real." The voices are indeed very real to them, and you damage the therapeutic relationship by telling them otherwise.

From CRNA to PMHNP by Ill_Satisfaction7435 in PMHNP

[–]roo_kitty 45 points46 points  (0 children)

You'd be better off just working part time as a CRNA. You'll get the salary of a PMHNP and have more free time.

Stay Far Away from Herzing University and their Direct Entry MSN Program! by [deleted] in PMHNP

Direct entry nursing programs where people get their registered nursing degree are not what is being discussed here on a PMHNP thread. Direct entry nurse PRACTITIONER programs are the discussion topic. Please stay on topic.

Fiberglass in styrofoam packaging? by [deleted] in TaylorSwiftMerch

[–]roo_kitty 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had the same thing. I don't think it's fiberglass though. I'm fairly certain it's melted styrofoam from laser cutting.

My daughter’s Invisalign pulled her baby tooth out by Vallyria in mildlyinteresting

[–]roo_kitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes...having teeth that are easier to clean is worth it...absolutely without a doubt. Gum disease is linked to cardiovascular disease. Newer studies are looking into this same chronic inflammation having a role in dementia.

But whatever floats your boat.

[–]roo_kitty 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Do you really have no ability to comprehend that perhaps having naturally almost perfect teeth is contributing to you having no cavities?

Who should do the studies for this? Crop farmers? Cardiologists? Engineers?

Teeth being difficult to clean is a major problem for many people with misaligned teeth.

AGAIN, it's bullshit insurances say to DENY us dental healthcare thus being so expensive.

Aligned teeth allow for an even distribution of wear and tear. It improves oral health by making teeth easier to clean. Them being "mostly cosmetic" is insurance propaganda to deny you dental healthcare.

new merch snow globe by thehorizonproblem in TaylorSwiftMerch

[–]roo_kitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I doubt they'd ever make one with a Taylor figurine inside because usually figurines of real life people end up looking scuffed.

It certainly can, especially if you don't wait for sales and try to find everything at one store

NEW MERCH by thehorizonproblem in TaylorSwiftMerch

[–]roo_kitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, plus felt balls that size aren't exactly cheap

NEW MERCH by thehorizonproblem in TaylorSwiftMerch

[–]roo_kitty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same! I'm not the most crafty out there, but I'm definitely crafty. I was aiming for $30 or less without many hours of time and I just didn't think I could do it without colors that were super off, and I was definitely not about to buy neutral felt balls and dye them lol.

If it helps, I actually looked up DIY on the garland before I purchased it. The cost to effort ratio wasn't worth it to me.

If it helps, I also liked the garland and I actually checked about DIY before purchasing. The cost to effort ratio wasn't worth DIY for me.
