They require masters degree PMHNP or Masters Social Worker. I’m not sure why. But I’m trying to get more information regarding that.

Hello, I was curious if anyone had any thoughts about working as an "Integrated Care Manager" as a Nurse Practitioner. The only downside may be the salary, but I m not too sure. Any thoughts?

I am looking into other job options for PMHNP that offer a unique experiences. I just want to know if there were other opportunities to work as a PMHNP that is not the typical inpatient or outpatient role. TIA

Exactly , I’m hoping to avoid the typical inpatient and outpatient settings

I’m open to new ideas. Maybe TMS or something similar

Hello, I am a new PMHNP. Will be starting in September. I'm nervous about prescribing, dealing with insurance companies, etc. I've been a nurse for 6 years, but I'm still feeling nervous about it all. Any tips or suggestions?

Thanks to everyone who took the time to provide a thoughtful reply. I have been working now for about 4 months. I work inpatient, dealing with children/adolescents. It is not a difficult job, just had to find my own flow. I enjoy the other NP I am w...

@adammRN I missed the joke.

Board Vitals is very difficult and nothing like the exam. It’s worth doing to get the practice and learn some critical thinking. But I generally scored 50s and 60s. IMO that’s great. BV is too detailed and it’s unrealistic to know all of that anyway....

VCU in Richmond, just graduated in May. It's not a tough program, in my opinion. At lot of group work, barely write any papers, you dont have to get your DNP if you dont want to. It's a hybrid program so you only meet up once or twice a week depen...

Just being new to it all. I know it sounds super general, but it's the truth

Thank you! I think the ANCC questions, but you only get like 150 questions (I believe), so its not that much variety. You should also do the questions in the back of the purple book. Pocket prep is definitely very simple and straightforward. Whereas ...

1. Board Vitals (very difficult, but great to use for practicing and critically thinking) 2. ANCC practice questions ( good review) 3. The purple book (especially chapter 2-7) 4. Pocket prep ( good study guide to use with purple book) All of these r...

"Wait a minute; I'm not at work."

Did board vitals help? Was it like the actual exam?? Just want some tips pls. Thanks!

Was curious if anyone could give me advice on what to focus on and what books are good to study for the PMHNP boards?

Hello all, I will be taking advanced pharmacology next semester, just finished advanced pathos, and did pretty good, thanks to having a fair and good professor. Any advice for tackling advanced pharmacology? Is it more challenging than advanced patho...

I think its doable of you put your mind to it, did you get in?

Yes my new admission, came after shift change !

two people in the patients bed, with the patients heart rate at 140 !

"Oh Wait!, you mean I wasn't supposed to eat the suppository?!"

"He thinks I'm taking his temperature, little does he know I slipped some Haldol on the tip of the probe!"

So I am interested in pursing a Masters in Psychology, not an MSN. I already have my Bachelors, have Medical/surgical and Psychiatric experience, been a nurse for 2 years. I don't want to become a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner because it will take t...
