PMHNP Residency programs

Updated:   Published

Hi,

I've been having a hard time finding PMHNP residency programs and was wondering if anyone had a program they would recommend. Thanks!!

Most (if not all) of the application materials, including letters of recommendations, are sent via email.

I'm pretty preoccupied with the idea of pursuing a VA residency after I finish school next Spring. Another question I have is whether I will keep accruing my VA time seamlessly if I am chosen for a residency. I work in the ER at the VA. Are the residency positions different as far as benefits are concerned because they are one year temporary positions or whatever? Does this mean I wouldn't be keeping my service computation date, sick leave, etc., and contributing to my retirement during my residency? Am I making sense? Any VA employees have experience with working for the VA then accepting a residency position and then continuing service after? Thanks.

Residents are considered trainees NOT staff. My recommendation is to contact an HR specialist and ask them these questions.
