So I am just curious if a PMHNP can ever prescribe any non psych medications in certain situations? For example, an elderly patient has a ua done to r/o a uti due to a change in mental status. The ua comes back positive.... does the pmhnp go ahe...

Are there any pmhnp's that do ECT?

Thanks everyone for your replies..... Another question I have is do pmhnp's round in non psych hospitals? And do any of yall do ECT?

I think a lot of people could benefit from reading this..... Functional medicine: The ultimate misnomer in the world of integrative medicine – Science-Based Medicine

So my question is how can this "fluff" be changed? Petitions? Emails to program directors?

Hello, I am currently enlisted in the Army Reserves. I will be taking my core nursing classes for my LPN to BSN program in January. I have 2 years or less left until I am done with my BSN. Once I am done with my BSN I would like to stay in the reserv...

Well usually if you are in any type of program where they pay you a monthly stipend to go to school you are non deployable. So programs like ROTC, the IPAP program (physician assistant), etc. I guess my question is are there any programs that pay a ...

Oh ok cool. Thanks! Looks like I will also apply to Indiana State just in case lol.

Really? Another person told me they had only 25 applicants so all 25 got in. But perhaps they meant for a different class.

Does anybody know how many applicants there are for just the bridge? Or the average worksheet score. Mine is very low compared to the regular ASN applicants I have seen on here. However, I know less people apply for the bridge so I might be able to m...

How many apply to the LPN-RN Bridge each year???

I'm not sure why you think you can't have both FNP and ACNP licenses. To be able to recertify and maintain your license in both it requires 1,000 hours within the last 5 years. That can be done. Especially for an NP that sees people outpatient and al...

Yay for chiropractic pseudoscience! I'll stick with being a skeptic......

Learn it all. You are becoming a Healthcare provider not a cna. I see so many people that post on here wanting an easy route.....

Yeah that's what I was confused about. Why do they even have psych residencies that are open for FNP's to apply to. I'd rather just do an additional cert.

So if an FNP does one those one year "residency/fellowships" in psych will that be viewed as an OK replacement to the pmhnp cert.? Will most state BON be OK with a residency trained FNP working in an PMHNP role?

Yeah I'm just trying to figure out how long it takes if all pretty reqs are done? Can you only take 2 nursing courses at a time?

Which part am I confused about?

Just realized I said some of the same exact things you did lol

It amazes me to see health care providers subscribe to pseudo science. There is absolutely no empirical peer reviewed research that shows Homeopathy is effective for anything. Acupuncture is only equivalent to a placebo effect. Chiropractors claim t...

Does anybody know the outcome of the suit?

There is a Psych Residency in Minnesota that accepts FNP's and I'm guessing once you are done you can treat psych patients without the PMHNP certification,?

Also a cool discussion on The Psychology of Pseudoscience in Medicine

I think the problem that people have is staying open minded. Usually when a person "attacks" our personally held beliefs and tells us our beliefs are wrong we get naturally defensive. Especially if this belief is something you have dedicated hours of...

not to mention the "success stories" posted all over the website..... i'd be checking with my state's nursing board to see if they even accept that degree.
