Online Post-Masters PMHNP programs

Binghamton University

UMASS Amherst

Hey! I'm in the same boat as you! I'll tell you what I have so far:

I am currently enrolled in the University of South Alabama (USA). It is online but no longer meets my life situation. They only accept PMHNP students once/year to begin clinical in January. My husband became sick and was in ICU for 30 days the week before I was to start clinical. I took a break since then and decided to attend a different school with more flexibilty.

USA is a great program! The professors are responsive and I learned a lot.

I found Maryville University (MU), applied, and was just accepted to start in 8/2018. The reason MU may be better than USA is because MU has a new class every semester. This way, if my life gets crazy again, I won't have to wait another year to pick up wherever I leave off.

I have to retake Adult Assessment but am cool with that because MU requires an Assessment course with clinical hours (not required by USA). Also, MU has Psychopharm but USA doesn't. Medication is super important for me to fully understand because I don't like not knowing all of the possibilities...

Let me know how you made out!

Thank you so much for your input. It was very helpful. I have applied to Maryville U and hope to begin in Spring 2019.

I am still researching since I have not heard back from Maryville yet. Below is a link to a list of PMHNP programs to assist others. I know finding a program was a bit challenging for me.

Im also a WGU grad and a psych nurse looking for post masters pmhnp. I actually enrolled in a family nurse practitioner program but now I'm having second thoughts because Psych is what I know best and psych NPs are in a real high demand where I live

Drexel university will take you as well. Im doing the post masters now and I wasn't a NP when I applied

Hello,

I see that Drexel only has one time admission throughout the year? is that true? I am considering post psych masters

USI also has such a program. Reasonable tuition and an overall great school.

Hey there - I transferred form a MSN-DNP at MSU to the FNP and then PMHNP-PMC program at UC. How did you like it? I’ve been having the worst time with preceptors and contracts which explains some of my transferring, and deferred while pregnant the last year or so but plan to go back to finish the final 9 classes (including clinical) end of 2020.

I’m curious how you found the program worked for you. The UC FNP courses were basically instructors reading slides and I wanted to tear my hair out. My first 2 semesters I got straight As with moderate effort which was crazy frustrating since it was far more work than I had put into my previous grad degree, but I’m hopeful the psych route (which is much needed in my rural area) will be more engaging and dynamic.

Thoughts on instructors? Class layout? Communication among faculty and staff? Finding clinical placement? Did you pass Boards first try? Thanks so much!
