Considering psych nursing

Published

Is it still possible to find psychiatric nurse practitioner positions with only an MSN? Im6considering the specialty but do not want to get a doctorate for many reasons. Is it still a position in demand? My other consideration was informatics because I also am good with tech.

Absolutely! Every PMHNP I know has an MSN. I'm looked at as the odd ball out in a DNP program. The DNP doesn't really give you any ~extra~ clinical knowledge, it's mostly leadership and academia-based.
