Had to withdraw my acceptance earlier this month due to the presidential administration causing my workplace to cut all funding for nurses pursuing a graduate degree. Best of luck!

Yes it was said during the Admitted students day event on campus a little over a week ago.

Decisions not yet released

Ended up with withdrawing my application because I got into Vanderbilt's program but good luck to everyone !!

MTA has limited spots so technically you could have a higher chances of admission as OMTA.

Just got my acceptance letter into the PMHNP MSN program! Anyone have a group link?

They reached out saying the next round of decisions are coming sometime the week of 3/3/2025 so you were right

Supposed to interview Tuesday but honestly I've been rethinking it because of the sheer cost of Duke's program

any idea when the next round of acceptances will be sent out? It's usually once the deadline to accept offers already made pass.

Got my invite to interview today good luck everyone

hey how was your experience finding placement?

Just like the title says, this is a thread/discussion to help each other and communicate regarding DNP admissions for the fall of 2025. I applied (and got accepted) into the PMHNP track. * The University of Tennessee Health Science Center *

I applied to the PMHNP but sadly outside of the priority consideration window, good luck to you all

No clue, I applied the first week of January. Let me know if you hear anything!

Depends a lot on the state and facility honestly. 6-7 per nurse where I am right now for in-patient psych.

Thank you everyone I've been reading all of your posts and appreciate all the perspectives. Just an update: I accepted a position at a Psychiatric-Med Surg floor ( md surg but all patients have underlying psychiatric conditions, often presenting in their acute stage). I'll try to attend NP school after a year or so. Probably part time initially while still working until I have to do clinicals, at which point I'll stop working and switch to full-time studies. I encourage everyone to keep commenting and keep providing their perspective and advice though!

Toxic as heck, you're part of the problem. Yeah, I don't care if this was from 2012.

I'm about to be in my last semester of nursing school and its getting to the time where I have to make up my mind on what I want to do. I went into nursing school really wanting to become a psychiatric registered nurse with the intention of later becoming a psych NP. I had a lot of experiendes that really led me to want to help people with conditions like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, and drug addictions. (Though in general I like helping people with their mental health) My psych clinical was in a long-term facility for patients mentally incompetent to stand trial. I did not love the clinical if I'm being honest, the nurses hardly ever left the computer and had very little involvement with patients if any other than handing them their meds. I also felt very awkward in general talking to patients there and I often found myself having a difficult time figuring out what to say, the anxiety didn't help. I'm usually anxious in new environments but quickly adjust to them after a bit and become comfortable. I really don't want to judge psych based solely on this clinical experience though. I did a presentation on acceptance and forgiveness for the patients there and felt like I really connected with them and they were so engaged with me! I really loved that feeling and felt passionate about it. Do you think my experience may have been affected because it was a long term facility with most patients already having been there for a long time? Or is psychiatric nursing maybe just not meant for me? Im at a crossroads because what if I go into psych and I don't like it? I've hears its so difficult to back to medical units after starting in psych. Any insight and advice is greatly appreciated.

So I'll be moving to complete my BSN and the program will be around 16-18 months long ish. I have a 7 1/2 year old German Shepherd that is very attached to me, though she's lived with me and my mother since she was a puppy. I'm hearing a lot of different opinions about bringing her with me or leaving her with my mother... For one thing I'll be super busy with school, clinicals, etc and I'm having difficulty finding a place that would allow her breed. The thing is, if I leave her with my mother she wouldn't be getting much attention either, and would probably just be home all the time bored out of her mind, and I'm afraid she'll grow very depressed without my presence. Not sure what to do here... Any thoughts?

Yup just received mine but I'm probably sticking with UTMB. Still deciding

Does anyone know if there's a group for our Fall cohort made yet or not?

Ahhh! Just got my acceptance letter. Congratulations to everyone that has heard back so far and hope to see you there in the fall :)!

I did pay. IDK about having to do it twice but I would ask, you MIGHT(or not) because the information gets sent directly to the nursing program of said campus(the code you put in). So, shoot them an email or give them a call about this just to be sure.

The results from the background check get sent automatically to the school, that's why they provided us with a code for either the Dallas campus or the Houston campus.
