I just finished Maryville’s online PMHNP program and getting ready to take boards. It was challenging at times to work FT, take care of a family and complete, but it can be done. It felt overwhelming at times but I learned a lot of information and was able to retain it. The cost was acceptable too.

First off, I wanted to congratulate you on finishing Maryville's PMHNP program! I would love to be in your position in two weeks. I am having a hard time trying to get a preceptor. My part-time job in an inpatient mental health hospital told me they are not able to accommodate me to be their preceptee. What was the best way for you to acquire preceptors? Cold calls/email? Go in person?

After researching Maryville and Regis I decided to go another route I'm applying to Frontier Nursing University. They are well established and more structured. Thanks for your input.

I was able to complete my hours with my preceptor via Telehealth as I had only 18 hours left when everything went down. Maryville was great about that and making sure I could complete my clinical in this way.

@PMHP61

I had also looked at frontier as one of my colleagues attended. The thing that turned me away from that is you have to travel to the school to do some in person clinical and Maryville didn’t require that. Just something to think about.

I live in California and work in Psych. I know a few PMHNP who graduated from Walden, and found jobs.

I talked to people I worked with to see if they knew someone and then I started cold calling. Most will do it if you ask. Some will want to be paid. I kept those names to use if I was really desperate, but found others to precept me for free and used those instead.
