1. How to become a PMHNP?

   Julie_0507 posted a topic in Psychiatric

   Hi everyone, I'm currently in an ADN program but my background is in psychology, in which I have a BA. Given my non-nursing baccalaureate degree, what would be a good path for me to take to become a PMHNP? Any suggestions welcomed and appreciated!

2. BA in Non-Nursing Field -->BSN or MSN after ADN?

   Julie_0507 replied to Julie_0507's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Then can I just go straight into a Ph.D. program given I have a BA in another field (and I will have an ADN)? That would be the best for me, I think. I am ready for graduate school. I haven't seen any programs like that. It seems like they always str...

   PMFB-RN: These are helpful comments. Which do you think would be faster given I have a BA in another field: BSN-->Doctorate or MSN-->Doctorate. I'm using "doctorate" because I may actually want to get a Ph.D. rather than a DNP; I've been lookin...

   Julie_0507 replied to Julie_0507's topic in Pre-Nursing

   are_you_a_llama: You're right about the RN-BSN route. I looked into a program that's offered at a college nearby and the only required class that I don't have is Nutrition, which I could probably pick up while I'm in the ADN program. Other than that ...

   med-stallion: I've considered becoming an NP but I'm not sure that's what I want to do. I'm aware I would have to get a DNP to become an NP, to become any APRN for that matter. I'm just not sure. I think I would be more comfortable with research. I w...

6. Took Hesi Entrance Exam today at UALR

   Julie_0507 replied to ladyvp05's topic in HESI

   Great job! My weakest area was A+P. I didn't even know it was going to be on the test! I've heard that if colleges require prior HS science courses then those will be on the HESI Entrance exam. Well, my school didn't require a HS A+P course so I didn...

   Akanini: That's great! That sounds like something I could do. What's your concentration? I see there's informatics, education, and clinical systems management. I guess I have a while to think about it and research it, but I am really leaning towards ...

   Thanks for the responses, everyone. I've been MIA, I know. I've been finishing up my first semester of nursing school. It was rough but I made it. I appreciate everyone's responses. I've realized these are difficult decisions for us all.

   cocoisis: I'm not sure if a BSN is absolutely necessary. I have the same question. It seems like it wouldn't be if you get a MSN. But I've seen quite a few MSN programs that award the BSN upon completion of its requirements. You might want to look in...

    Julie_0507 replied to Julie_0507's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I've read that a lot of nursing graduate schools do not require the GRE. I wouldn't be against taking it though. I should have already taken it. I was planning to go to grad school for psychology, until I found out I was pregnant :) I will consider g...

    Julie_0507 replied to Julie_0507's topic in Pre-Nursing

    So_good124: I agree. The tuition is crazy for some accelerated programs. I'm fortunate to live close by a college that offers the ADN at a reasonable price. I really don't have the resources to relocate right now. And a college that's about an hour a...

    Hi everyone, I've been researching advice on my specific situation for quite a while, mostly by looking up related posts on allnurses.com, but I haven't quite settled on an answer to my question. I know there are several threads on my topic but I am ...
