You have some very sound advice on your channel! As a new PMHNP-BC I appreciate all of the advice & insights I can get. Thank you for sharing this content!
Thank you for your channel! Keep up the good work! I know youre busy but when you get a chance can you do a video on preparing for psych NP graduate school? Thats something im having a hard time finding good info on. Answer a few questions like what do the schools expect from people applying? Will all psych NP's be switched to mandatory doctorate degrees soon? and what to expect while youre in school. That would be so helpfull!! Thanks
Hey thank you so much for the awesome video. I'm nursing student right now and you know your video so inspiring and I want to know more about psychiatric nurse practitioner and how to be a psych nurse practitioner because it's one of my dream to be a Psych NP :)
Thank you so much!!! I am glad it is helping you! I am so glad you are choosing this specialty of nursing because we need more passionate NPs to help the existing and growing need! Keep me posted on your nursing journey. Is there any topic you would like me to address?
If you are a RN with an associates degree, what is the best route to go to obtain my masters? Bridge program? BSN? What is the test/boards,exam that would have to be taken to become a psychiatric nurse practitioner? After becoming a RN and passed NCLEX-RN?
Scott 56 awww thank u so much! Yes I worked part time while in RN school and NP school. My teachers said I wouldnt be able to make it because of it, but someone has to feed my kids and it is not going to be them for sure. LOL! 🤪We have to do what we have to do though. Are you thinking of doing both?
What area did u work in as an RN? I'm debating on going back to school. I got into some FNP programs but later decided that it wasn't right for me (at least for now). Then I considered PMHNP, but I was never a psych nurse and i don't have professional experience in mental health. I was always interested in the field. I minored in it in college. Been exposed to the field in other ways. Is there something I should do to let myself know that I can do this kind of work on a daily bases? My worry is dealing with combative patients or addicts and not being able to de-escalate the situation if they become aggressive. I'm hoping that teach that kind of stuff in PMHNP school. I'm also not trained in psychotherapy, so I'm hoping they teach that as well.
I am afraid if I choose to do it and can't find a job, and the interest grows, I'll be in trouble :( by the way, do you need RN experience to become NP?
Got you! Yes it can be quite expensive if you have no RN to begin with. I did the post masters which was about 12k for the whole program which i thought wasnt too bad at all. I heard of a private programs that can cost close to 100k. It will be about finding the right program that will provide you the best education with the right cost and not put you in debt. Check out university of south alabama. Private schools that are accelerated programs are really expensive because of it being fast paced compared to the public university ones. Now is it worth it? Getting the RN program and where I am now in terms of money situation? Yes definitely!!! I see tuition costs as investments since you are investing in YOU and your future. I started out being paid $7 per hr at a book store in 2001 and if I didnt invest in my education, I would still be paid minimum at this point. The choices in being an RN and the fields you can go into as well as the roles make it a very good career path.

Hey! Im glad it is helping you. Good luck with school! I know it may be extra challenging now because of the pandemic.
I am your no. 1 fan!!
Thank u!!
What makes an individual an expert? So that means they could see and use to seeing more than 12-16 patients
I don’t know if I’m really interested in becoming a Psych NP or you’re just interesting to watch.
If you are a RN with an associates degree, what is the best route to go to obtain my masters? Bridge program? BSN? What is the test/boards,exam that would have to be taken to become a psychiatric nurse practitioner? After becoming a RN and passed NCLEX-RN?
I really am interested in mental health, but I’m doing dialysis right now. I wonder if I can just go straight to PMHNP from being a dialysis RN?
I am finishing my BSN next semester and this is my goal job. Where do you suggest I work after graduation?
Congratulations!! Going into acute care inpatient psych nursing would give you the skills you need in this field. Good luck!
keep up the good work! question did you work while you were in NP school?
Scott 56 awww thank u so much! Yes I worked part time while in RN school and NP school.

I kinda really want to do this 😤
So the most challenging part is the charting? Or the most time consuming part is the charting?
Do you have to take work home? Or once you are done with patients for the day then that’s it?
How much admin time would you advise us to ask for as new grads?
What business opportunities are available as a PMHNP?
Are you inpatient or outpatient?
you're so sweet.
Thank you so much! Good luck to you! I am excited for u being in the PMHNP program!
@@carolainperegrino4018 do you have an instagram account? Can I DM you ? I have so many questions LOL
sandy s yes! Of course! Its carolainpsychnp
how much debt do you have? (if you don't mind me asking)
Are you asking about school debt? I wonder how the answer to this question will help you?
@@carolainperegrino4018 yes, I wanted to do a direct entry route but the cost is so daunting!
how much debt is worth it to become a NP?
I am afraid if I choose to do it and can't find a job, and the interest grows, I'll be in trouble :( by the way, do you need RN experience to become NP?
