http://allnurses.com/nurse-practitioners-np/pmhnp-programs-all-832181.html there's still plenty of PMHNP MSN programs out there. I am applying to 5 in the fall but found around 9 -- there are more...

Both apps mentioned are available for both iPhone and Android phones. I personally prefer Android, but iPhone is definitely more simple to use. I personally got really bored of mine after a while....

Here is my situation. I'm 27 and applying for direct entry psychiatric NP programs this fall. I have a fiance but we have no plans to have kids. I just finished a second BA in psychology (first one...

Those are pretty low scores, barely past the 50th percentile. I'm sure you can do better! It's really not a difficult test. Just get a bunch of study guides and do lots of practice tests. Grab a...

Perhaps you're forgetting that a DNP, as a doctorate, will require more credit hours than an MSN, which is a masters. In the end, of course it'll be more expensive... As for financial aid, it's...

I'm confused. Your clinic isn't who gives you the money. NHSC is the organization that gives the money. Did you contact anyone from NHSC about why you weren't accepted into the program?

I think the OP is asking about difference between clinical psychologist and nurse pracitioner with psychiatric specialty. The main difference is that psychologists cannot prescribe and are in school...

The amount of debt load for students of all professions has increased exponentially since the 80s, yet real wages have remained the same. There is no correlation between debt load and salary.

I don't know of any online programs since i have no interest in them. And not sure if there are any programs in Texas.

I had a similar question recently and was told that the BSN isn't necessary

Is this 2.58 out of 4.0? I know that some foreign schools do not use a grading scale based out out of 4.0. In the US, a 2.5 is a B- You could always take undergrad classes at a local community...

Graduating before or after 2015 won't really make a difference, I don't think. The 2015 recommendation is for nursing schools to begin phasing out MSN programs in favor of DNP programs, but I highly...

Sounds like you should've just gone for the PMHNP. Not sure how the M. Ed. will help you, unless you also want to teach. Your counseling experience will be valuable though. As for BSN, it's not...

If you are willing to move, you can earn more. Like I said, I've seen job listings starting at $90-100k for new grads. You are clearly scared of debt, and I understand, but what you're saying...

I know you're worried about student loans, but the government guarantees them, and the US government isn't going anywhere. Maybe it is a bubble, but it's not going anywhere anytime soon. You...

You would do better to try to change your major to nursing and get a BSN. Then go into an MSN program (not direct entry). You'll spend more time in undergrad, but it'll be worth it since you'll raise...

You know what you're worth. Don't sell yourself short. Plenty of demand for NPs, and you can move if you need to in order to earn what you want :) -- I do think Annaiya's advice about mentioning...

No, there will not be better compensation since insurance companies have no reason to pay PMHNPs more. People who support this trend are pretty clueless. This is a money grab, nothing more. It won't...

I think Dixiecup did not get personally accepted, not that the clinic itself was rejected. I could be wrong though Dixiecup, if that's true, why do you think you didn't get accepted to the loan...

IMO its totally worth it to take out $80 to 100k to pay for the PMHNP program. You can get loans to cover the whole cost. Then you can do an NHSC loan repayment program where you get $60k toward...

Damn. That's not good to hear!

No that is not a requirement. It's a recommendation by academic nurses, but they have no real authority. It's up to each individual state to change those requirements, and that is not happening, at...

That's too bad you couldn't do grad school. There is a huge demand for psych NPs.

I am curious about replies as well. I plan on doing NHSC loan repayment program eventually and found some info on these forums. Yes, you definitely get the money, but you sign a 2 year contract....

They aren't abandoning the DSM. They are just pushing for more research into the biological etiology of psychiatric disorders. This isn't as earth shattering as bloggers make it out to be. It has...
