PMHNP in Virginia State

[Uppal, BSN, MSN, RN]

Hi

I am thinking about going back to school. I have outside of US MSN in Psych Nursing, per WES credential evaluation is equivalent to US MSN. I am thinking about GW university and also I reached out to Walden (little skeptical about WU as I read very bad reviews), the admission counselor at WU suggested to enroll in DNP program because they don't have Post masters certificate at this time. I did start an application with GW as well- struggling to finish Personal statement ! ?,

you're more than welcome to help me finishing that statement..

I'm working full-time (8-4:30 , M-F) in Psych Outpatient setting.

Please share your views, give suggestions- where should I start? Which School is best in this area for PHMNP program (fully online or mostly online).

Also, if someone knows- if I'd be eligible for Post masters certificate? Someone in same boat? or had similar experience?

waiting for yo guys' replies.....

Have a good weekend

VCU in Richmond, just graduated in May. It's not a tough program, in my opinion. At lot of group work, barely write any papers, you dont have to get your DNP if you dont want to. It's a hybrid program so you only meet up once or twice a week depending on ho far along your in the course. But the majority is online. Good Luck

@Bea Bea thanks for the info, Appreciate it!!!

Richmond is far from where I live. I am looking for something close to my place or fully online- with very few visits to campus (once/twice throughout the course)

Thanks again
