Hey jensfbay, Sorry for the late reply. Yes I am a FNP who decided to get a PMHNP certificate. Yes I am in the program now. I am going full time so the program is approx. a year. I’m so happy that I decided to go back to school directly after passing the NP boards. Why, you might ask; because psych is my passion and I allowed nurses, professors and others tell me not to go into psych after undergrad because I would lose my skills. I have decided not to work as an FNP until I get my PMHNP. I have recently accepted a position as an RN in a psych faculty to gain experience. It is so rewarding. The program is busy with lots of reading but totally doable. Good luck
