  2. Hi All, I have a tentative job offer as a soon-to-graduate PMHNP at a large private practice (24 therapists/NPs) owned by an MSW in Seattle. It is an independent contractor position, and they would take care of all admin tasks including credentialin...
  3. Direct Entry Psychiatric NP

    Best direct entry programs for psych are ucsf, University of Washington, Yale and Penn. I am currently finishing a direct entry program at Vandy, which is also highly ranked. I chose direct entry because I am in my 30s and wanted to start a family so...

  6. ku vs vanderbilt vs southern alabama

    I was admitted to the pre-specialty program at Vanderbilt and am currently in my specialty year (PMHNP). I chose Vandy for the relative speed of the program. The cost is insane (100k for tuition, about 50K for living over 2 years). I would strongl...

    I'm in for psych!! Did not receive the email, just a letter in the mail. Good luck everyone, SO excited!!!
  13. Seattle U - APNI 2013

    Due to the small size of the program and high demand of students wanting acceptance, Seattle U is more competitive than some top ten programs like Penn, Vanderbilt and Columbia! From what I gleaned from last year's thread, it varies by specialty, an...

    Whoops, plus Vandy's website says all students get a 3,300 scholarship to cover books. Otherwise, a handful of little scholarships, and then the 1 full ride =)
