ok.. I will try not to be a part of conspiracy designed to reduce market saturation for Psych NPs. LOL!! I am just telling you about how I feel. I am graduating from a psych NP program in a few days....
Good idea. Half of my class is post-master students (FNP, Adult NP, or Geriatric NP). Do FNP first than do DNP in psych later. I think it is better this way. Unfortunately,some of them already...
Yes. Southern State. Wow! Zenman. Which state offered you that much salary as a new grad? What setting do you work in initially? Thanks for the figure. I will keep this in mind when negotiating offer...
Yes, there are "a lot" jobs for FNP for sure but there are more FNPs grads as well (at least in my program). Take what you like to do for a living. Any fields that are too in demand, people will rush...

Yes, I understand what you mean. But for someone who is already a nurse, at least they don't have to start over. This DNP option gives them the alternative without having to start over like MD/DO...
Thanks, MSPRN01, please keep me posted. I don't think the website answer this question. Well. I think University of Southern Alabama is not self-paced either. They will allow the student to return but...
How strict are they regarding following the curriculum as planned? I know that some online school like Stony Brook allows up to 5 years to complete the program. Will UC kicks a student out of the...
