interested in pursuing Psychiatric Nursing

You don't need any special schooling in order to be a psych nurse in the USA. I live in Indiana and have worked with many LPNs in a free-standing psych hospital. Psychology courses would help you. I don't know that there is a psychiatric nursing major in an undergraduate degree. One thing I think might help you is to get some psych clinical experience. I wonder if you could take a psych clinical course? IUPUI has a nursing school with a BSN program. Maybe there's a branch of IVY Tech there too? Or how about just going to a psych hospital or general hospital with a psych unit, telling them of your interest, and seeing what they say?

There aren't any special, additional courses you need to take -- your LPN license is qualification enough, if a psych facility/unit is willing to hire you without experience (and many are). You may want to pick up a psychiatric nursing textbook and read through it.

If this is an area that seriously interests you, I would guess your best bet is to identify all the psych units (within general hospitals) and psych facilities within your area and start applying to them. Good luck!

I started in psych as a LPN. Good luck!
