I'm really interested in becoming a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I at one time wanted to be a psychiatrist but I just don't believe it is for me. I have a lot of questions about this that research on the internet does not give they are 1. Will I be able to give therapy? 2. What exactly do I wear? 3. Is getting a doctorate a good idea? 4. Is is beneficial to open my own practice? 5. What is a real job like? 6. Should I minor in psychology? 7. What is the actual pay scale? 8. Is this job in demand?
