  1. Does an ivy league education make a difference?

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

    I plan on working in the Colorado area but unfortunately the only schools I could find in that general vicinity are Seattle U and UCSF. There are not too many psych NP direct entry programs :/ Anyone...

  2. Where is the best nursing school

    mzaur replied to caringkind11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Anyone know about rankings specific to psych

  3. Any programs without pre-reqs? (other than Yale)

    mzaur replied to Digthis1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  6. Switching careers and interested in psychiatric NP

    mzaur replied to Mkim680's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The average pay for clinical psychologist may be 85k, but that will be going down as degree mills pump more and more useless psychologists into an already oversaturated field. There is also the...

  7. Direct entry Master's with no BSN (BC and MGH), good idea?

    mzaur replied to Valeria7's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Are you referring to the direct entry MSN program at MGH? As far as I know, it is the same as BC (RN ->MSN, no BSN). Master of Science in Nursing (Direct Entry) - MGH Institute - Boston, MA Most...

  8. GRE

    mzaur replied to RachelLee's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If you weren't retaking the test so soon, I would be able to give you better advice. I got 96th percentile for verbal and only studied for a month. The key is to study A LOT of vocabulary. I made...

    mzaur replied to dt70's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Look into direct entry MSN programs. The debt is worth the time you'll save, and you can pay it back quickly. 3 years and you're done. Prereqs can be done in two

  11. Jobs that require both MSN and BSN

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

    Sorry but you are quite wrong. I'm applying to 6 programs that are NP and do not give BSN. Most direct entry NP programs just give RN and MSN. These are clinical programs that lead to Np

  12. Switching careers and interested in psychiatric NP

    mzaur replied to Mkim680's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Bumping this thread for more exposure :) I am interested in more responses. I gave up my aspirations to get a PhD in Clinical Psychology because 7 years in school to make ~40k is awful. Psych Nps...

    mzaur replied to Calinca's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    For those who got in for psych, could you please share your volunteer/relevant experience? I am a little worried that I do not have enough, especially in general nursing. I interned for two years at...

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

    mzaur replied to EmmKay's topic in Post Graduate Students

    mzaur replied to EmmKay's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Also, do you guys think its ok if none of my letter writers are nurses? All 3 are psychologists in my case. 2 are professors that I worked for as a research assistant and one is my supervisor from my...

  21. AANP and ANCC Merger

    mzaur replied to annfaith's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi Juan, You seem to be knowledgeable on this subject. I was hoping you could answer something for me. Since ANCC handles the certification for PMHNP (my desired specialty), is there a chance, and is...

  22. Job Offer, but I have reservations.....

    mzaur replied to gerry79's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am surprised by some of the posts on here. How can an RN make more than an NP? Maybe it depends on the specialty and/or geographical area. I have been looking at job postings and see starting...
