  1. UCSF 2011 MSN Hopefuls

    I applied for the PMHNP program. I'm a psych / correctional nurse for almost a year now. Been doing this since I graduated 1 year ago. No, I don't know the criteria. I new I wanted to be a psych NP after working with psychiatrists and being aroun...
  2. UCSF 2011 MSN Hopefuls

    I just checked my application status and that was it. It said "Admitted" rather than "Under Review"
  3. UCSF 2011 MSN Hopefuls

    I'm in! I got accepted into the PMHNP program! I already have my myaccess account and completed the financial aid info. The next big decision how my family and I (wife and daughter) will survive for the next 2 years living on a limited budget again...
  4. UCSF 2011 MSN Hopefuls

    The only reason I see for them accepting more MEPNs is financial. They are able to charge more due it being "accelerated" in nature and receive a commitment from them upon licensure to complete a masters. This ensures a seat for the next 2-3.5 yea...
  5. UCSF 2011 MSN Hopefuls

  9. UCSF 2011 MSN Hopefuls

    I'm applying for the PMHNP at UCSF for Fall 2011 -- I Wonder how competitive it is. Anyone else?
  10. I was recently hired there. I have some Psych experience and love to work in this type of setting. I think if you have a passion for working with the underserved then you will not have a problem getting a job in correctional.
  11. Not at all. I filed for chapter 7 2 years ago while I was in nursing school and have not had a problem finding a job or graduating. Do what you gotta do, my friend....
  12. Future of PSI, Inc and UHS?

    Those of us Psych Nurses who are working for the 2 largest Psych organizations, what do you think the future holds for us? I particularly work for a PSI hospital here in CA and would be eager to hear some opinions on what the merger/acquisition enta...
  13. Interview went well! I got a call about a week later for a tentative offer. Of course, I accepted! Now for the waiting game for final approval. I did find out the details and they said I will be rotating. Unfortunately, being a the bottom of th...
