Thanks Deb,
I really don't want to prescribe meds, and I am way more interested in doing therapy. But in Pa, where I live, most of the jobs out there are for Psych NPs and not Psych CNSs, as most companies want the NPs that can do med management, as in PA only NPs can prescribe and CNSs cant. Plus most people want to hire professionals that they dont have to pay much to do therapy. It's sad. So, it sounds like Im going to have to do the Psych NP thing as I might have a very hard time finding a job as a Psych CNS.
