I think what is important to remember is the training. As PMHNPs we understand (though I cannot find the source) the average patient referred to a mental health clinician has failed two previous medications trials. If FNPs were trained well enough to...

Started with 18 down to 11. Several didn't make the grades (two of which were certified FNPs). Admissions was selective even for a PMHNP program (minimal applicants). There are still programs out there with a little rigor.

Classic! Good for you nothing like an ole farting contest to form some rapport!

Thank you for your post I will definitely look into these resources!

Hello everybody! I'm enrolled in a FPMHNP program just finished my third semester. This program does not offer a specific psych pharm class, but my program does offer the general advanced pharmacology course that I will take with FNP students. I woul...

Me too FPMHNP student that loves reading up on current practice.

Hey Guys! How is the school hunt going? I am enrolled at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. The FPMHNP program is online and can be taken at a part time rate. I am just now getting ready to begin my Mental Health rotations, but so far the cours...

Working in the ER as an RN. We use 12.5 mg promethazine, 25 mg Benedryl, 30 mg IV toradol, Decadron and 1 L of NS. Our neurologists have actully scolded our ER Doc's who prescribe narcs for headache. No FNP, working on PMHNP, thought I would throw in...

Ashstev, I started my NP program at 23. I had less than a year of nursing experience. This is a hot topic on this website, but I did it and I've been successful in school to this point. I honestly believe that my lack of experience will not jeopardiz...

Resilientnurse, I read a lot of these post and don't contribute as I am only a second semester PMHNP. This however is one of the best post's I have read on here. This is the passion I hope to practice with when I am finished thanks for all of your ha...

I am 23 and will graduate when I'm 26. Some people might not like it, but what I don't have for experience I work my tail off to make up for studying and reading research. I feel I can be successful in school and be young. It's up to you and what you...

Hey Guys! Anybody who reads this or posts on here thanks in advance. I've been creeping in the background for the past two years reading up on as much as I could on this website. I was just recently accepted into a FPMHNP program in Missouri. I work...

At my university they don't allow people in with visible tattoos... that said I met a male nurse who had full tattoo sleeves and nipple piercings and was one of the best nurses I worked with. People shouldn't worry about the tattoos they should worry...

I just like the term badass...

Im 22 years old in good shape and I am currently finishing up my BSN and graduate in May. I have talked to PMHNP programs that said I can start classes in the fall of 2013. My question is, Is there still a need for psychiatric nurses in the armed for...

I am going to graduate with my BSN within the next couple months. It has always been a goal of mine to work as an ED NP. I see what seems like thousands of people enrolling in the many programs out there. I am concerned that there may be too many peo...

I know this doesn't exactly relate to this conversation, but as a nursing student about to finish my BSN I had decisions to make. Most of the people in my area told me to go to PA school because they were looked at with more respect than somebody wit...

Im so glad to see all of you guys excited about this program I am finishing my BSN now, but have had constant contact with my admissions counsler from Maryville U. and I will start the application process in less than a year. Do you guys plan to work...
