Does anyone know of a good resume editing service? I'm editing my NP resume and feel like the feedback I got from my school (graduated in May) has not been super helpful. I've been working on it myself for a while using tips I found online, though it's still not great. I'm looking for a resume writer, and find tt difficult to tell the quality of a service by the website. Has anyone had luck with a particular resume writer/company? Thanks!

Thank you all for your responses!

Good point about COVID. Aside from my general interest in inpatient work, I have heard that physician supervision tends to be a bit more robust in inpatient, which is one of the reasons I've been leaning that direction as a new NP. This is probably something I can find in outpatient as well though, so I should probably expand my search a bit. Thank you for your response!

That was sort of what my thinking was originally, I think I'm just panicking a little since it's taking a little longer than I anticipated to find a job. Thank you so much for your response!

Hi everyone! I just completed a direct-entry PMHNP program and am now in the licensing/job application process. Based on my NP clinical experiences and interests I would really like to work in inpatient psych. I do not have RN experience in psych, however, and am debating whether I should take a year or so to work as an inpatient psych nurse first. In retrospect, I should have done this before graduating NP school, but this is where I’m at. My main concern is forgetting the NP-specific knowledge/skills that I gained throughout my master's program. While I can continue to study material from my PMHNP coursework and regularly review research updates, I won’t be able to replicate the type of learning/experience from psych NP rotations in terms of the nuances of clinical decision making and practicing the psychiatric interview. Has anyone else worked as an RN after graduating from NP school instead of going right into the NP role? Any tips on how to maintain NP knowledge during this period? Thank you so much for any feedback!
