Just accepted to PMHNP school! Start Jan 2025!

I'm currently in the PMHNP program at Herzing University!! I have 15 more months left!! I'm so freaking excited to finally be following my passion after being a nurse for 15 years!

I'm currently in PMHNP school and in my current preceptorship, I am amazed at how autonomous the PMHNPs in the hospital are.

Still worth it to me 🎉 I have been PsychNP since 2021: opened my PP in 2022 and it's burned me out. I'm moving on with a position in ICE Dentention Center with Immigration and Customs.

This was such a thoughtful discussion on the value of being a PMHNP in the coming years! Thanks for sharing your insights! 🎉

If you are actually a psych nurse and have good connections absolutely. If you’re a ICU nurse who hates psych and thinks you’re gonna get rich… girl bai.

I’m considering a career switch from being a licensed mental health therapist to a PMHNP. It’s basically starting school all over again so it’s a lot to consider, but your videos are helping me to better understand what that change might look like in the future! I’m curious if you know any PMHNP’s who used to be licensed therapists?

[thpark]

nice insights ~ love to being psych NP.😊

[nursestudent]

Do you get to work remotely most of the time as a psych NP?

[ImeeC-tv]

Im thinking about taking PMHNP but also thinking of opening a spa in the future. Are there limitations between FNP/adult Geriatrics NP to psych NP when it comes to prescribing medications?

Any thoughts or insight on University of Rochester PMHNP program? I’m a psych nurse in NYC and was accepted. Any any advice out there, I’d be grateful

I think it is not right for these schools to let in students who do not have any experience as a Psyvh RN! My school required it, but it was a long time ago so I don’t remember the number of years required. Employers are telling the new grads to go be a Psych RN for a few years! As for the money- some of the RNs on our unit make more or about the same as I do. They get holiday and overtime pay. I’m salary. However, I love my job. I feel I make an impact and do have autonomy and flexibility. I’ve been PMHNP for over 11 years and just wish I had done it sooner! There are many PMHNPs but due to many being new grads there are so many jobs out there! I get info every day- calls, emails, texts, etc. I think we are finally proving our worth that employers see the benefit and hiring more of us. 😊. Hopefully they will start paying us appropriately for all the work we do.

I am in the BSN. Should be done by December 2026. If applying to a PMHNP, that would take easily 2 to 3 more years. In 2030... how do you see job opportunities for the new recently grads BC-PMHNP?

[rlouis]

I’m transferring from, FNP to psych NP. FNP wasn’t my passion i did the upper end edu classes and adv patho hopefully enough transfer so i cam get my program done in 18 months

[mcwproductions]

I have about 4 years of Psych RN, I've always wanted to purse PMHNP but education is so expensive... anybody know less expensive programs? I appreciate it, and thanks for the input Pysch dude!

[Neethu-ow]

I AM LOOKING FORWARAD TO BE A NP PSYCH IN NEXT YEAR. I HOPE THIS WILL BE A GOOD MOTIVE .

[JohnSmith-tvkb]

I have a psych degree as well as a BSN. Seems better to just get my clinical psychologist masters and practice as a psychotherapist.

[ginahall]

How did you have help early on in your career? Was it because you worked in psych as an RN!

[davidczerepinski]

Currently in school, hard to get preceptors.

[Dhilanjam]

Thanks for the insight. I’m finishing up my BSN in a few months and plan to work in psych and ER. Do you think it’s worth doing a BSN-DNP later down the line? Or get my masters in a few years? I’m not sure what route to take
