   ForensicPMHNP posted a topic in NP Students

   I will be taking the boards in August and I am deciding between these two, Fitzgerald is significantly more expensive but also well known with a good track record. A class mate of mine used Georgette's review (live classes on Zoom) and said good thin...

3. New Paradigm for the DNP. What do you think?

   ForensicPMHNP replied to KetafolDNP's topic in Doctoral

   Personally I think turning the DNP into a residency/fellowship year in which students basically work as NPs under supervision with a capstone project at the end would make more sense. I am in my last semester of my PMHNP program and some of my class ...

4. FNP or WHNP?

   ForensicPMHNP replied to Jessy27's topic in NP Students

   I am finishing up my NP Program in Psych Mental health, but one of the things I recall was that two years ago during orientation the advisor rounded up all the WHNP students and advised them to switch to the dual track (WH/Adult Gero) because there w...

5. No NP jobs. What now?

   ForensicPMHNP replied to OkieNP's topic in NP

   This is very important to remember, one thing I realized is that many employers will always favor NPs with experience, especially FNPs,PNPs and AGNPs. Thus the makret may seem tight for a new grad but it is partly because the experience is so valuabl...

   It's straight into it but most of my class mates got jobs while doing the rest of the program. We graduate May of next year.

10. In-home NP Medicare Assessments

    ForensicPMHNP replied to lvICU's topic in NP

    Just a quick question, do they have positions that focus on psych evals and assessments too? Or are these jobs mainly focused on regular medical conditions? I am in school to be a Psych NP in Boston and I am really interested in doing this when I gra...

11. going straight into becoming an NP after BSN?

    ForensicPMHNP replied to schallerjasmine's topic in NP Students

    RN's and NP's do not do the same thing. RN experience helps a lot, no doubt about it. But if you are smart and work hard you will be fine either way.

12. Opinion on "direct entry/immersion" NP programs for non-nurses?

    ForensicPMHNP replied to simcc's topic in NP Students

    Now to be fair most jobs will give preference to experienced NPs a d RNs km just about any place but there are still jobs for new grads at least here in New England.

13. Opinion on "direct entry/immersion" NP programs for non-nurses?

    ForensicPMHNP replied to simcc's topic in NP Students

    I have many mentors that re Nurse managers and MD's and this is a question I posed to them when I first entered my program. The truth is: HIRING MANAGERS DO NOT CARE. There is a terrible shortage or Psych NP's and Psychiatrists; if you are licensed t...

    Regis is not a bad program, not as good as BC, MGH and the others but it is a legitimate program.

15. Psych NP vs FNP

    ForensicPMHNP replied to Jmallard's topic in NP Students

    I do not think that a non constructive song and dance between us will change anything. The ship has sailed. You obviously have your gripes when it comes to direct entry programs and what not, that's no secret; but my response is more for the OP.
