NYC Nurse

I applied to Hunter College's (in NYC) PMHNP program on 12/2023. This is to start fall 2024. I am wondering if there are others who have applied. My application status so far says "submitted". I am waiting for either rejection or appointment to be se...

I know a few people that have gotten in without any psych experience. Prior GPA seems to be the primary thing they look at to determine if you get into their program. Everything else is secondary.

You will have to find your own preceptor. They said they can reach out to past preceptors for other students and try to help but you should really look for your own they said.

Attached is example of schedules. One credit classes are online and the 3 credit course (most of them) are in person once or twice a week.

CONGRATS! they said you can do it quicker but its unusual for anybody to do it faster than 3 years. this is for the PMHNP program. not the certificate add on. 3 semesters is impossible in any school. It is 48 credits for Hunter program and most...

Do you mind sharing your GPA and experience just to get an idea what the program needs? Thank you!

Congrats! I got an email of rejection today. I'll be applying to stony.

Yeah thats what professor said but he said in the end it is up to the dean. He has to wait on her to approve. she has final say. he said he already had a whole bunch of acceptances but it goes to her next.

Not yet. But I think they will send response in March.

don't need to provide any back up. I'm just sharing my thoughts and opinions. If you want you can look up back up. I'm sorry you feel like im denigrating the NP profession. I honestly never knew my words had that much weight. Again sorry you feel tha...

I 100% agree with you. I don't like that people think NPs wanting to open their own practice or that they celebrate full authority is somehow a horrible thing for patients. I think people need to do what is legally allowed and do what's best for them...

LMAOO I think we in the wrong job. But it's crazy. I honestly (haven't researched it) think big Pharma lobbied for full authority. they would benefit the most. They would have more prescribers giving out meds. because I truly wondered why is NP going...

I kind of agree with you. but I don't think it starts with colleges. I think it's the policies put in place by gov. If they didn't allow full authority then colleges wouldn't be swarmed with them.

def doesnt hurt. the professor in the info session said the most important stuff in application is objective things. Like grades and experience. I have a friend with no psych experience and they did the same thing, they have 3 letters of recommendat...

Absolutely working nights is affecting your emotional health. It's been proven sleep deprivation can cause psychosis. I never worked night shifts for this reason. I loved having a life outside of work. And working nights messes with that. most people...

Hey I private messaged you. Just had specific questions about hunter program. thank you !

When I am angry, sad, depressed, anxious it means im not listening to a part inside of me. there must be a voice inside of you that you aren't paying attention to. maybe it hates the job, maybe it hates night shifts. Pay attention to the voice. don't...

IM tired of this passion idea. I didn't go into nursing for the passion. I went into it for money. to support my family. to have a reliable job. nursing for me was brutal. I went to med surg, was bullied severely. but I learned and once I learned I ...

I have a female nurse come with me and she will lead procedure. or he will do it alone or with another female nurse. I don't even bother asking if they are comfortable with me doing it. I don't want to risk them saying I did something inappropriate a...

its crazy to see the stuff coming out.

Im following this. would love to move to Florida but they pay there nurses garbage.

I think you should what is best for you. in your gut you know what that is. I remember people told me the grass isn't green on the other side. I took that leap to another position. and never regretted it. I went to psychiatry and the job was way more...

This is insanity. I cant imagine going through this.

I think finding job that you don't hate is important. you can do all teh self care in the world but if you hate your job because its abusive or overwhelming then it won't help. You need to start with finding a nursing job you aren't being killed in. ...

yup its not private.
