I just started Grad school this fall. I applied to EKU and a bunch of other schools. In my research including DMs with people here, it seems that EKU is not an "easy" program, and the person I spoke with on DM stated that the staff didn't have much sympathy in regards to helping students that were struggling with family issues etc... I didn't end up going with EKU because I was not accepted for admittance into the PMHNP program, but I probably wasn't going to accept if I had got any offer just based on the reviews. I'm not advocating one school over another but I went with a private school, they cost more but generally they are going to be much more likely to work with struggling students. Also, a big factor in choosing was board pass rates, EKU I believe has 90% or 95% pass rate, which is strong and means the program prepares students for the board.

I'm starting the PMHNP program this September. I'm nervous but from what I've been told by others in the Drexel PMHNP program it is a very doable program.

Thanks so much for the suggestion, I never really thought of using software for the formatting!

Can you recomend a software package, or PM me a good recommendation, please?

I'm starting school this fall as well, would love if you could PM me or post your method in this thread! Thanks!

I'm planning to work full time. We'll see how it goes, I think most of these programs are designed to be part time so a person can still work 36 hours a week and attend.

My take on psych NP vs psych RN. Currently at my job once I top out at the payscale + holiday pay and some overtime I would make just about the same thing as the psych NPs that work here make. The difference is the work schedule and quality of life. They have weekends off, never work a holiday, no on call (we have residents). Also they aren't on the floor most of the time, so chances of getting assaulted are greatly diminished. And to be honest from what I can see, the psychiatrists and NPs here don't exactly have grueling work days, they spend a few hours a day in treatment team, a couple hours doing paper work/chart work, go to meetings and most of the time they are working from their office. Plus job security, can open a practice, can practice as and NP, can practice as an RN if needed. With an MSN you can teach, or get an education certificate and be a professor, precept clinical. Tons of options.

I got accepted to their PMHNP program starting this fall. I'm really excited about it. I was accepted to a few schools but I am going with Drexel because it has a good reputation and board pass rate is 100%. I spoke to someone who is in the Drexel PMHNP program and she said it was a very good program and very doable for someone working full time. I can't wait to start.

I ended up applying for several schools, got accepted to 3 and rejected by EKU. They wouldn't give me an explanation as to why I was rejected. I think i'm going to go ahead and start at Drexel it's a very respectable university and has a long history, and they state their ANCC pass rate is 100%.

Live in Las Vegas. We have a ton of attorneys that do this kind of stuff. When I say $50 I mean their fee is $50, you still have to pay whatever the fine would have been and I assume the attorney gets to keep that as well. Traffic Tickets | Craig P. Kenny & Associates I assume most localities will have an attorney's office who does something similar, just do some research and you should be able to find the attorney.

Don't worry about any of this. Find an attorney's office that handles traffic tickets. Usually for $50 or less they will get the thing outright taken care of or at least reduced down to a parking ticket with no points.

Can people add schools that they know find preceptors for students, or provide real assistance. UNR is semi online requires 1 visit per month, finds preceptor sites. Has PMNHP and Gero.

Anyone have any input? I'm applying to both schools not sure if I will be accepted to both, but I'm not sure which one to go with. Drexel costs a bit more even with affiliate discount, but I would be willing to pay the extra cost if the education is better.

I think some of the full time programs are done in 3-4 semesters, so a year and some change I would think.

I went to a pretty hardcore nursing school with 100% nclex pass rate. I don't think med school was much harder than what we did, just longer, 4 years instead of 2 years.
