1. Herzing PMHNP program?

   WisconsinRN replied to Psychislife's topic in NP Students

   I had to take a job at a psych hospital to have all of mine covered. That is my suggestion. Almost no one will take students unless they are employees thanks to Covid restrictions, that 3 yrs later, are still in effect in many places.

2. Herzing PMHNP program?

   WisconsinRN replied to Psychislife's topic in NP Students

   I am currently beginning to enter my LAST semester of this program. No, they don't guarantee placement. You look for and arrange your own clinicals. If after 2 semesters of sitting out due to no clinical placement, then they can send you out of state...

3. Herzing University PMHNP January 2023

   WisconsinRN replied to smiley2k2's topic in NP Students

   I am 1 semester from finishing the program, and honestly, even as an alumni of Herzing's BSN program (on site), I would not do this program again if I had it to do over. I would have chosen another school. This is a newer program for Herzing online. ...

   WisconsinRN replied to WisconsinRN's topic in NP Students

   WisconsinRN replied to Psychislife's topic in NP Students

   As a current PMHNP student at Herzing, with am expected grade date of April 2023, I highly DO NOT suggest this program. It has been a nightmare from the get-go. I felt stuck after the first semester because I had already taken out student loans for i...

7. Preceptorship

   WisconsinRN replied to RLRNTAMPA's topic in Psychiatric

   I am having the same problem in Racine, Wisconsin! I wish I had known how hard it would be to find a site before I got into my program. Some universities actually help place their students. Unfortunately, my university doesn't place MSN students, and...

8. How much should I really be working during NP school?

   WisconsinRN replied to blazinflame123's topic in NP Students

   I am currently a full-time MSN-PMHNP student (all online), and I work for a nursing agency as a per diem nurse. I schedule my availability around my school schedule and my family's schedules. The pay is higher for agency nurses, so I can work less an...
