OSU for PMHNP?

PsychNP05 · Jul 15, 2014

Just to clarify, I don't want to get a BSN because there are opportunities where I live to work as an associate-degree prepared RN. But I ultimately want to become a Psych-NP.

Break,

I was recently accepted into the FNP program this Fall at tOSU. What I can tell you is that they hold all baccalaureate degrees on an even level. My bachelor's was in rhetoric and they apparently did not mind. While it is not the same specialty, that still has to be some good news! I also know that the curriculum for the Master's degrees have just changed, so be sure to look into that when you do get advice on specific courses from fellow students. Some of the courses might be completely different. I hope this helps! Best of luck in finishing your ADN!

Thanks for responding MwtM. Thats quite a jump from rhetoric to NP! Are you direct entry MSN? Or are you RN-MSN?

Does anyone have advice on whether or not I should work before going to graduate school or if it is possible to work while completing OSU's PMHNP program? I'm trying to beat the shift over to the DNP requirement. I'm pretty sure I would need a BSN to get accepted into a DNP program.

I contacted OSU and they have no intention to eliminate their MSN for NP programs anytime soon, so that's good. I found out today I have been accepted for the NCSP which requires a 2 year full time service commitment. I'm not so sure I could work full time and attend graduate school at the same time. I'm looking into doing possibly both part time.
