Hello my fellow nurses, I'm a behavioral health nurse currently and I have some inpatient ward experience but most of my 2 plus years experience is in outpatient behavioral health. I am really interested in apply for any PMHNP (online mostly, accredi...

I totally agree! As a nurse, I observed the difference between psychiatrists and Psych-NP, and I dont want to make one better than the other because they both practice "differently". But I do feel the Psych-NPs are definitely proactive with doing blo...

Thanks for the feedback, anchorRN! Unfortunately, when I had called the KU, they told me that NY students are not authorized to attend their program and even others (something with NY regulations). But because of all these restrictions for NY studen...

Thanks Futureprovider! I definitely dont want to give up but I did feel a it discouraged before. I am currently looking for a few classes at some universities at the moment. Nevertheless, I appreciate the advice!

Thanks Nurse Ninja, excellent tips!

Thank you, pro-student for your response. There were personal reasons why I wasnt able to maintain my 3.0 GPA since midway through the semester, I was dealing with family issues. Nevertheless, I was very proud of myself to finish and did not allow my...

At this point, I would consider Maryville online PMHNP program due to the fact that with my less than stellar GPA, I may not get into anything else. I'm just a tiny but below a 3.0 but all of the PMHNP programs I have contacted (brick and mortar, o...

Any recommendations for programs in NY?

Hi, I know you posted a while ago but wanted to know how didntour clinical psych rotations went? Although the school is online based, do you have to find your own preceptor? And how are their admission criteria? Please let me know. I live in NYC btw...

I'm also curious if you have the psych experience but not the GPA? I realize the minimum is 3.0 for many of these programs. I'm starting to feel a bit discouraged now. I think that's why I held of from applying because I just assumed they wont look ...

Hi LaraRN86, I am interested in applying. Can you message me the following information: Is it really hard to find your own preceptor? I'm on the ACT and work a regular 9 to 5. Tuition: is it something I can't pay for myself? Can I take two classes a ...

Thanks Sugare82! I was actually looking at previous progress notes from our patients to get an idea but what you mentioned in your posting is exactly what's described as our format. We do have a template that we use so that helps us in terms of stay...

Hello fellow nurses, I have a question about documentation specifically for any nurses on the ACT team: what would be a standard format in terms of what needs to be documented after a patient visit for example receiving a monthly injection? I just wa...

Hi, I had the same question? Did you ever start working? Can you let me know how is the schedule overall, i.e. 3 days on, 2 days off, etc?

Thanks, sheenaatsamaritansvs!!! Are you planning to take it? Has registration started and also, do you think it's worth it? The cost is actually pretty decent compared to Adephi and Molloy which I heard is very expensive.

Good question. Maybe they can verify with the Department of Health since they are the ones that provide/issue the certification number. In terms of usefulness, I think NY have certain regulations that either they have to meet/follow so maybe the PRI ...

Hi, I received H/C PRI training and got my five digit certification number (it never expires, btw). I don't have any experience in either fields you posted so maybe I may not be a good person to answer. But I can share that my training was informativ...

I actually applied. Hoping for a call back too.

It's a real life hassle getting into public and private hospitals. I have expanded my job search beyond the hospital and that has posed a challenge as well (since these organizations are asking for one to two years of "clinical" experience). My advic...

Hello fellow nurses! It's been a while since I posted on this board. I am still trying to get my foot in the door into HHC. I was told even though, they have hiring freezes, they hire in small amounts. I would like to preferably work in Kings or Quee...

I work in a state operated psych facility in NYC. It's not hard when it comes to the clinical component since majority of the medication administered is oral and IM (and creams and other things but it's not complicated). Also you have to do your asse...

Hey AnneCV, what company do you work for? Sounds like a blessing and excellent opportunity? Do I have a chance of getting into the field if I have a non clinical background?

Hey Gypseygirl, are you still at the psych facility?

It's going to be a year and a half since I haven't had a nursing job. I have two months experience from a clinic but that's it. I have been applying EVERYWHERE, mailed out my resumes, dropped in certain hospitals to give my resume in person but was t...

Bump! What is the starting pay and what are the hours?
