Is anyone in this program or graduated from this program? I am interesting in learning more about your experience. Thank you.

Hello. I am curious about MSU as well. I live in Fort Worth Texas and have applied to Texas Tech and UTA. Still waiting to hear from both of them. Texas Tech doesn’t start till Spring 2020 and UTA requires some face to face campus courses. I stumbled upon the program at MSU in Wichita Falls and I called them today. Applied as soon as I could because it seems to be the best program for me at this time. It’s all online (a few on campus dates) with a Fall 2019 start which is what I like about it. They are CCNE accredited but I still want to know more. Anybody have any input on this 2 year program for MSN PMHNP? Thanks

I would also love to have more information. My husband was just accepted to this program but he also has an application out to Texas State's program in Round Rock. Trying to get any more information about either program.

Hi TiffyRN. That’s great he got accepted! I’m still waiting to interview since they rescheduled it for early May. Does your husband work FT? I’m concerned that they don’t provide a PT option. I need FT hours for as long as I can hack it.

Texas State is a brand new PMHNP program but they have had an FNP program for awhile now.

I’m waiting on UTA to see if I’m accepted or not.

My husband has intended to resign his current position as soon as he is accepted (thankfully we are in a position to make it work with some belt tightening). So, he was specifically looking for a full-time program. That's why he didn't apply to UTA and several other programs, because they were only offered as part time. We understand that is what most people need. Texas State was very appealing because they are full-time and you are supposed to finish in 18 months. This would work better for us as he will be without an income, and he's a little older so he wants to get on with it. Had none of the full-time programs worked out, he would have considered a part-time program.

I'm in that last stretch of my BSN to PhD program and I was told it was possible to continue to work full-time even though the program was also full-time (9-10 graduate hours/week). I have pretty decent study skills but I found I needed to go part-time at work to keep up (there was no option to do my program part-time). Hopefully I can transition into a full-time position in my field once I defend my dissertation (hopefully by end of summer semester).

Congratulations and good work! UTA will let you do full time if you choose. The same with Texas Tech and Texas State. Your husband is so lucky! Best of luck to both of you!

Does the MSU PMHNP have a FB group (for students)?

I am seriously looking into this program. Has anyone started? Is the cost as low as it looks? I would do the precepting in my own state.
