I hear conflicting opinions regarding the demand for PMHNP. Some were saying the field is over saturated & that it's becoming a "trend"? I think I'd definitely skip over the FNP portion personally. & certainly I'd be working in psych while in school- I love the specialty & am not sure what else I would be doing as a nurse if it's not psych.

I'll be moving from the Midwest, alone and with my kid! 100% going to SoCal at some point haha. I still need to graduate with my BSN (8 more months till graduation ?) but im considering staying for another few years to get my NP (most likely PMHNP). Is it worth it for the financial stability? Since im alone and coming with a child I want to make sure im making the smartest choice here. My kid would be around 11 by the time I want to make the move IF I persue the NP. Worth it? Not worth it? Advice? -I've always wanted to do psych. Loved my psych rotation & obviously would work as a psych nurse will persuing NP if I make the decision to move forward with that.
