PMHNP TELEPSYCH WORKFLOW

[NurseBee]

Hello everyone!

I’m looking for some PMHNP-TELEPSYCH advice as I’ve been toying with the idea of returning to school for this.

I’d love any perspective you can share. I’ve generated a list of random questions that have popped into my brain just now:

*WHAT ARE THE TOP DIAGNOSES THAT ONE USUALLY SEES IN THIS LINE OF WORK?
*WHAT’S THE RATIO OF TIME ONE SPENDS MANAGING MEDICATIONS TO PERFORMING PSYCHOTHERAPY IN THE TELEPSYCH CONSULTS?
*DO YOU TAKE CLIENTS FROM ACROSS THE US OR IS IT REGIONAL?
*HOW MANY CLIENTS DOES ONE SEE IN A SHIFT?

*HOW LONG IS A USUAL SHIFT?
*DO YOU DEVELOP RELATIONSHIPS WITH CLIENTS AND SEE THEM OVER A PERIOD OF TIME OR...DO THEY CALL IN-YOU PROVIDE A CONSULT—AND NEVER TALK TO THEM AGAIN UNLESS THEY DECIDE TO CALL THE AGENCY BACK AS-NEEDED IN THE FUTURE?

*DO COMPANIES USUALLY PROVIDE THE NP’S WITH THEIR OWN BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SPECIALISTS—TO PREVENT SECONDARY TRAUMA FOR THEIR WORKERS?

*WHAT’S THE EXPECTED SALARY FOR THIS ROLE?

*DO YOU HAVE ADDITIONAL RESOURCES THAT YOU CAN RECOMMEND SURROUNDING HOW TO GAIN MORE INSIGHT INTO THIS FIELD?

*WHAT ARE THE PROS/CONS OF THE JOB?

*WHAT ARE THE PRIMARY STRESSORS OF THIS TYPE OF JOB?

*HOW DOES THIS JOB IMPACT YOUR PERSONAL LIFE?

*CAN YOU RECOMMEND ANY GOOD online programs TO GET YOUR MSN IN THIS FIELD?

Any tips/ideas are much appreciated!

Wishing good health to all during these times.
