  1. Inclusive list of direct-entry PMHNP programs?

    myelin replied to blondielocks's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    UCSF's tuition has gone up, but it is still below Columbia and Penn (Penn was 120k total costs just for the BSN when I applied). Do keep in mind that getting in-state residency is easy so after first...

  2. Does an ivy league education make a difference?

    myelin replied to lina620's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Agree w/BostonFNP. Depending on where you want to practice, I would go with the school that has the strongest reputation for that area. I turned down a few ivy league programs to attend a top school...

  3. Why do some nurses use their titles as a big ego boost?

    myelin replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm confused by the original post. I understand if the nurse is really happy with her job and doesn't want to change it, but a masters in nursing is a great way to move into advanced practice work,...

  6. Switching careers and interested in psychiatric NP

    myelin replied to Mkim680's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Seems to me like it's an issue of equal pay for equal work. If a NP is practicing in the same capacity as a family practice doc, then I see no reason why the doc should make more money. The fact that...

  9. Best online Psych NP Program?

    myelin replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    lol 30k is really cheap for a NP program. Not sure if people who are posting aren't familiar with higher education costs in general, but 30k for a masters (especially in a healthcare field) is

  10. Which specialty compensated the most financially?

    myelin replied to hik9258's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Independent psych NPs who own their own practice make bank because of the low overhead, unfortunately primary care people have a lot of overhead and that really cuts into their profits. CRNAs...

  11. Is Becoming A NP Worth It?

    myelin replied to 8mpg's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hahaha. Any time someone posts on here that psych is a good specialty I know a post from harmonizer insisting that psych sucks will soon follow. I think it really depends on your location. Where I am...

  15. PMHNP- Salary expectations

    myelin replied to megank5183's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    yup. psych is definitely a highly unpopular specialty, both for nurses and MDs. It's one reason why there's such a high need for psych prescribers. That's why people shouldn't go into the field...

  16. Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner...please help

    myelin replied to ex1140's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I tend to prefer the US government for this kind of data. According to BLS.gov, it's 68k (note, this is not a starting salary but the median, starting is more like 60k). Anyway, the point is that this...

    myelin replied to ex1140's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    there definitely are diploma mill NP programs that accept pretty much anyone/everyone. However, my only point is that the market for psychology is extremely tight right now, because the market is...

  20. Can a psych. Nurse be accepted for a FNP program?

    myelin replied to Macann's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    sure. Just sell your top assessment skills that you've honed as a psych nurse. Any fool can learn a procedure, as they say. It takes skill to know the who, what, when, where, and why of a situation....

  23. Total newbie, any help would be greatly appreciated!

    myelin replied to myelin's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Oh wow, I forgot that I started this thread. Actually, I ended up waiting another year after I made this post (had one last moment of "oh maybe I should do clinical psychology"), then solidified my...

    myelin replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Nice. Thanks for posting! I've heard some rumbles about trying for independent practice in CA over the next couple of years. I'm wondering if others have heard anything? That would significantly...

    myelin replied to blondielocks's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Off the top of my head some programs that are very much campus-based would be... Seattle U, OHSU, UCSF, Yale, Columbia, Boston College,
