Hi Psych.nurse! Seeing that you applied to this program, I had a few questions. I’m interested in CSULA PMHNP but only have Med/Surg/Telemetry and Acute dialysis experience. I’ve been trying to apply to psych jobs but with no luck. Do you know how competitive it was to get into the program with no psych experience? I went to a cal state for my BSN and I had a great learning experience, and do not feel comfortable doing those online programs. Also did you have to interview? Thanks!
@Oldmahubbard, interesting post! I am an RN interested in geriatric and psych, and I have been wondering whether to go to a Geriatric/Adult NP or PMHNP program. Working as PMHNP sounds interesting. If you don’t mind me asking, what do you like/dislike most about your job and how hard was it to get into LTC for psych? Thank you!
