You’re about to embark on an incredible journey that will prepare you to make a real difference in people’s lives.

You’ve got this! 💪✨ Wishing you all the best as you begin this amazing chapter! 🎓🙌
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.
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?

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.
Just go DNAP - Nurse Anesthetist if ICU was your line of work. My faculty was an ICU nurse, and she is now a PMHNP plus, she teaches, so that is 300k a year.
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?
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?

No it's not if you did it the correct way and worked as a psych nurse. You should have multiple preceptors in mind. Now if you came from the floor with no psych experience that's on you.
Unfortunately it has been more difficulty for individuals to find a preceptor but if you are able to network while getting experience , it goes a long way
This was one thing I was worried about with some of the online programs. I made sure to ask some docs I worked with if they'd be willing to take me on when the time came.
Hello the psych dude ☺️! I hope you answered me, I am from Dubai and I am very passionate about studying PMHNP. In order to be sent, the study must be at least half on campus. Is there any university in the USA that teaches PMHNP on campus?
@rakan23nurse Congratulations on your passion for pursuing a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) program! Several U.S. universities offer on-campus PMHNP programs that could meet your requirement for at least half of the study to be on campus. Here are a few options: Stony Brook University - SUNY, Stony Brook, NY: Offers a hybrid PMHNP program with both online lectures and specific on-campus requirements. NURSING PROCESS Pace University, New York, NY: Provides a part-time online format with 1-2 on-campus visits per semester, allowing students to continue employment while completing the program. PACE UNIVERSITY Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN: Offers a PMHNP specialty as part of its Master of Science in Nursing program, with on-campus requirements. VANDERBILT NURSING Columbia University School of Nursing, New York, NY: Provides a PMHNP program with on-campus classes and clinical placements. WIKIPEDIA University of Maryland School of Nursing, Baltimore, MD: Offers a PMHNP program with on-campus coursework and clinical experiences. WIKIPEDIA When considering these programs, it's essential to: Verify Accreditation: Ensure the program is accredited by relevant nursing education bodies. Understand Clinical Placement Support: Inquire about assistance with clinical placements, especially as an international student.

Consider Location and Visa Requirements: Be mindful of the location concerning your visa and travel logistics. Reaching out directly to the admissions offices of these universities can provide more detailed information tailored to your situation. Best of luck on your educational journey!
I love being a PMHNP but burn out is prevalent if you do not have the adequate resources. I do not have therapy to support my patient panel. I am expected to see a certain amount of patients per day. We are not allowed to charge for therapy, only medication management.

So technically we are allowed to do it but does that mean we are qualified to do it right out of school? That’s very dependent on your program and how their curriculum is
Yes. Mental health disorders are increasing, according to CDC. In 2030, there may be more mental health disorders than people going to seek medical care.
Y'all need to learn if a patient deserves to be there or not?! When a Police Chief Ex Fiancee puts you in there.... y'all need to know the difference! 😮

Why did it burnt you out? Are you seeing more than 10 patients a day? Or you are doing Medicaid?

Search for Full Practice states for PMHNP. You are better on those states and they have good pay.
