Hunter College Psych NP (PMHNP) 2024

Published

I applied to Hunter College's (in NYC) PMHNP program on 12/2023. This is to start fall 2024. I am wondering if there are others who have applied. My application status so far says "submitted". I am waiting for either rejection or appointment to be set up for an interview. Just to give a little info on information used to apply. 

My experience:

1.5 years of MED SURG experience

1.5 years of psych inpatient experience (in hospital)

About 5-6 years of total nursing experience

BSN 3.5 GPA CUNY School

ADN 3.2 GPA CUNY school

2 Letters of recommendation. One from my Nurse manager in my psych inpatient unit. The other from the attending (MD) on that same inpatient unit.  Not sure if this is a strong enough application but I wanted to share for transparency. I will be updating this forum if I get any news of rejection or acceptance. 

I took a stats class while getting my ADN and a research class in my BSN (capstone).

Yeah deadline is in March. I would still try. I have a friend who applied and she never did psych but she was able to get letter of recommendation from psychiatrist at her hospital. I would maybe suggest something similar. she also got 3 letters of recommendation to help more. Also Stony brook is another solid option incase you don't get in this school. some people had to get psych experience and re apply and then they got in. But always try.

I also applied in Dec and have heard nothing yet ... Maybe I'll throw another rec in there. I don't have psych RN experience.

def doesnt hurt. the professor in the info session said the most important stuff in application is objective things.  Like grades and experience. I have a friend with no psych experience and they did the same thing, they have 3 letters of recommendations.  We are all waiting to hear back. I am not sure if I will be accepting if I do get in, there scheduling for classes can start at 3pm and I get out of work at that time. Keep us updated here if you do get in please.

Yeah thats what professor said but he said in the end it is up to the dean. He has to wait on her to approve. she has final say. he said he already had a whole bunch of acceptances but it goes to her next.

What kinds of grades and experience did you guys have? I am nervous because I submitted only Feb 9th and I know it's rolling admission, so I hope it didn't fill up. I had a 3.8 in nursing school and a 3.9 in a non-nursing Master's program, however, my undergrad GPA from 20 years ago was 3.15. I do have 3.5 years of inpatient psych RN experience, but from the info session it sounded like they don't really care about psych experience all that much. 

Let's hope we all hear soon! Good luck everyone!

Hi!

I just received my admission to Hunter - PMHNP today around 12pm to start this Fall 2024. Admissions closed on March 1st. I got into Rowan as well, I really like both, but considering I work in NYC I think I will go for Hunter. 

Extremely happy that they accepted me! Looking forward to start this fall :)
