hi there, sounds like you're doing the right things... and btw, we have a little in common as I work at mclean right now, and I'm going to start at the psych NP program at yale in the fall. don't stress too much. one of the most important things (i think) is having good experiences that back up your interests. I never had a clear idea about what competitive gre scores were... Let me know if you have more questions about the application process, interviews, etc...

wow, very cool! I'm starting my program this fall, so it's interesting to hear perspectives from ppl who are experienced. Does the RN coursework tend to include stuff on psychosocial issues, or is that saved for the on-the-job training? This is for everyone: do most psych nurses work in acute inpatient units? thanks!

wow, thanks so much for your reply! Glad to hear from someone who's so happy with their job. I'm curious -- what training did you get to have the skills that you have? You mentioned DBT -- do you have a masters in nursing or something else? Thanks!

Hi, Thanks for the info! I'm also curious what a day in the life of a Psych NP is like... I know there are many different environments, but if any of you have perspectives on this it would be appreciated!
