Hi there, Thanking for providing us with very useful information about Psych NP. I’m considering doing the program but I’d like to know more about NP work life. Right now I work for Home Health and my schedule is quite flexible. If I want to take one month off to travel, I can do it easily. I worked in the hospital before where you only can take off 2 weeks a year and I felt stuck at the job. So my question is, is there a job as a Psych NP where you can take off for a month at least during the year here and there if you want to? I don’t want to work at a job where you get paid annually and you have to commit the whole year (year after year) to the job with only 2 weeks vacation a year.
Hi and great question, this is totally doable but it depends on the job you take. A few buddies of mine do that but they work their butts off about 9 months a year. They all do work in private practice tho for someone but get paid fee for service not hourly or salary or own their own practice x This also can be possible by being a locum tenens (like a travel rn but np) .
Hi. I’m applying to my PMHNP and was wondering how I can use my experience in school during my trauma rotation to relate to mental health on my application. Thank you :)
Hii, congrats on applying. What type of experience do you have? And When you mention trauma rotation, what does your trauma rotation entail? I’m just trying to clarify a few things before I give you a better answer
What does being a psych nurse have to do with riding a motorcycle or kids jumping on a trampoline??? Absolutely nothing. It's just things you've seen as being a nurse.
Hey, are you still finishing your fnp cert?
