You've left out a lot of crucial information. Where do you live? Are you geographically restricted? You need to figure out where you might possibly want to go, look into their requirements and then go from there

So you want to be a psychiatric nurse practitioner?

What you're asking for seems very unusual. I can't say I would know where to start.

Sounds really interesting! I spent my younger years studying ballet--I don't have a degree in dance, but it was such an important part of my life for so long I can't leave it out of my life now. I don't believe you have to find a perfectly-defined career path to pursue all your interests or incorporate your talents into your professional life. Right now I am using my love of dance on my geriatric psych unit to run afternoon dance parties to '50s and '60s music; the recreational therapists are OK with it, and many of the patients really love it. Exercise is therapeutic, after all!

I am sure you will find a way to blend your talents to benefit your patients in a unique way. Nursing is a field that really thrives on the variety of personal gifts its practitioners bring to it.

Best wishes!
