[@Melissa4542]

I love your video and energy. I needed this today! Just started my first PMHNP clinical rotation. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@medclutch6785]

Congratulations for making it this far. Goodluck on the rest of clinicals.

[@RN-PRN]

Im very excited. Thank you so much for the compliment. 🤍

[@mganddg]

Thank you for sharing! I'm at the beginning of my journey & your calmness helps to inspire me that I, too, can do this! p.s NEVER cut out the puppy snores 🙂

[@kimberlydixon594]

I am in my first rotation and its so time consuming for someone working full-time! Do you have any advice on the midterm exam or how to do a case presentation video?

[@aileenjomero6090]

We are on the same program..really appreciate sharing your experiences.keeps me motivated..I'm from Illinois bybthe way..

[@RN-PRN]

Was planning to visit my friend who lives in Illinois. Im glad my vids help. Classes are killing me right now, so I cant put out vids as fast as I would like to. ♥️

I'm Okey with my didactics..I'm exhausted with my clinicals..have to go to multiple clinics and hospitals in a day..cannot catch up..🙄

[@thewickedwitchofthesouthsi5021]

I am currently in a very similar situation at my clinical site….I’m going on my 3rd week and as of right now i don’t see how I’m going to be completely independent by the end of the practicum rotations but i can’t wait to be there

Thank you so much for the video, I am thinking about doing the post-MSN PMHNP at Chamberlain. This video was very helpful!

[@RN-PRN]

Have you decided?

[@ellie7541]

@@RN-PRN You have really inspired me….mostly likely Yes..and I am choosing Chamberlain because my hosptial has an affiliation agreement with them, so its a 30% employee discount…to me, that is pretty significant. And the post-MSN PMHNP consists of 11 courses. After working through the pandemic, and recovered (barely) from Covid (gotten from a patient despite wearing CAPR and PPEs), I have decided that maybe telepsych is what I like to do…especially focusing on grief and loss of pets. I feel, eventhough, I may make less compared to what I make as a senior bedside hospital RN…ultimately, I would have more job satisfaction in the long run.

Are you seeing patients on your own in your first clinical 6635? Im doing joint assessments where the preceptor is there and im asking questions to the patient as well, hopefully I will get to be independent soon but I do not feel confident at all right now to be by myself. Only week 2 of my clinicals first clinical. Please tell me how far you were before you started seeing patients on your own. Thank you.

[@RN-PRN]

Hi, there. I saw patients by myself half way in 6635. But my preceptor didnt push me. I also saw the established chronic med management. Once I got comfortable in that role, I then keep seeing other patients. I was def scared at first. I promise it gets better.

[@kimanei5359]

How did you find your preceptor?

[@lilcutenurse]

Omg you have come so fair !! I’m struggling to just find a preceptor for my firs rotation!! 🥺🥺🥺

[@RN-PRN]

What state are you in? Im struggling right now with the didactic class. 😩

[@sunkim1074]

Hi! I love your energy and finding your videos are blessing! Thank you so so much for sharing such practical and honest experience. I will pray for your success. Quick question: would it be crazy if I take health assessment and pharmacology class together? I am also in Walden and finishing up pathophysiology and leadership class.

[@RN-PRN]

Hi, if you are up for it you can def take pharm and health assessments together. Just know that you have work to do. It takes a lot of energy to take both at the same time. I feel like pharm, health assessment, patho are all hard. I took pharm and patho together and it was a pain. I did pass it tho. I failed health assessment because I was careless and it was my fault. Remember, week 4 and week 9 in health assessment is the most important of all. Good luck and thanks so much for your words of support. XOXO

How do I make first psych eval in 8 minutes do you have a video. Thank you.

[@joschramke8394]

thanks for making your video! I am starting my PMHNP practicums tomorrow and am having a little bit of anxiety about it....although I am excited too!! Keep up the good work!

[@RN-PRN]

How's the practicum going, Jo?

[@saydabaquedano7264]

Hello, for psych practicums, how much time do you log for patient?

[@nadiamalik6987]

Thanks for this video. I'm in the same practicum & my preceptor works in a similar way. Finally enjoying this part of the program 🙌😄
