Hi. I'm coming up on 2 years of med-surg nursing. I graduated from nursing school in 2012 and have an ADN. I also hold a Bachelor's degree in fine art, formerly, and spent years working in mental health jobs prior to becoming an RN. My ambition is to become a Psych NP. I'm currently licensed and working in NM. I'm planning a move to Portland, OR, where I'd like to get a job as a psychiatric floor nurse. I'm looking for the best information I can get to enhance my chances of landing a job in this specialty area (e.g., certifications, etc.) I'm male, if that's important. My understanding is that there is a great demand for males in the psychiatric field. All advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
