Wow that is so great! Can I ask you which program?! It would be a dream to start right way!

Which programs are you looking at or have applied to? I might wait a year or two before I apply because of my little experience. I am on a psych/mental health facility right now for my senior placement and I am honors student… That's pretty much it! Ha so better that I get some experience and not waste time applying right away. Can I ask what your backgrounds are? Like how long have you guys been a nurse and which units have you worked on?

Thanks for your replies. I will definitely look into your suggestions!

Hi allnurses community, I am extremely interested in becoming a PMHNP in the future. I am graduating this May with a BSN. I am wondering if I should apply soon after I graduate for a MSN program or should I get some experience first. What do you guys think? If I need experience first (preferably as a psych nurse), how many years? What other things can I do to booster my application? Thanks all!

Hi allnurses community! This is my first post! I will graduating with a BSN this May and plan on moving to Brooklyn, New York. I have no connections whatsoever and know very little about the hospitals in Brooklyn. I have not started the application process so creating this topic is the first part of my research! Any good hospitals that I should check out? I also want to become a pmhnp so I would absolutely love to start out on a psych unit! Any good psych/mental health facilities? Thanks all!
