@MidCareerNurse Thank you so much for your detailed response. Just finishing up my PMHNP program in Feb 2025 then I am planning to go there for FNP and DNP. I don't think the program will take less time. It's probably to keep accreditation they have to show that they're improving and innovating the program.

@MidCareerNurse Thank you so much for your detailed response. Just finishing up my PMHNP program in Feb 2025 then I am planning to go there for FNP and DNP.

Are the exams proctored?

Maybe buy the APEA book that's what I used to study along with doing lots of practice questions. The first year at Herzing was wonderful then it went south, maybe because the professor were so inconsistent after year 1, they try to hold you back, you will see when you get there. Even tho I passed the APEA exam I left and transferred to another school with better work life balance. I have 1 semester left to graduate at the school I transferred to. Thank God! Hopefully Herzing has changed for the better after firing the dean of the PMHNP program in January. Good luck!

Well that was my experience that's why I left. That same month they fired the Chair of the PMHNP program that I was in. So it may be better now. Hopefully!

Guys I am sorry, Herzing University PMHNP-MSN program is very very misleading. Please don't go here. I have a horrible experience and a year in the program I'm transferring to another school now. You are on your own with everything, no guidance, you find your own preceptor and they try to find every fault to deny your preceptor application, there are pop-up exams to fail you and kick you out of the program. They incorporate courses into the program and don't notify the students at all. All of a sudden you are blindsided and scrambling to study for an exam that wasn't even listed on your program guide. RUN!! from this school. This school doesn't care about student you are just $$$$ to them. In the middle of the course there is a 3P exam that no one tells you about so that you won't know to prepare for it and if you don't pass it on the 2nd try they stop all your progress and place you in a remediation class, but spoiler alert the remediation class has nothing to do with the 3P exam. On the final try if you don't pass you are dismissed from the program and they take half the tuition you have paid up to this point. It's just another gimmick to take your money and pay more money. This exam is listed no where on their website nor does the admissions coordinator tell you anything whatsoever about it. It's a big secret to fail student half way into the program! Please find a better school. You will be burnt out physically and mentally. You will have clinical rotation, have to do your clinicals notes and still have papers, discussion posts and other assignments due. This is ridiculous! Find a University that cares about students

IRSC LPN Program for January 2024 Acceptance letters went out today. My son got his acceptance letter yayyyyy! I'm so happy.

It is advised to get a part time or Perdiem job at a mental health center or detox center and you can use those NPs and MD as preceptors. That's what I did.

You can still attend I just know that I want the degree at all cost and won't get discouraged no matter what they throw at me..I'm 11 months in already. 13 months to go. I got this ??

Which school are you attending and when do you start. I'm doing 2 classes at a time. Subscription to CourseHero is a big help. You will also need a writing tool to help with Grammer and plagiarism. Honestly it's doable. Sometimes a lot of foolish busy work but I'm almost a year in already. I'm at Herzing

I'm going to be honest with you. It seems like all these online schools are pretty much the same. I've been doing good at Herzing so far but I hate that we have to do the APEA exam as psychNP students, you have 3 chances to pass and if you fail them you have to repeat the entire semester no matter what your grade is in the course, even if you have a 99%. The school has hardly no guidance, you have to be self-sufficient and driven to succeed. The courses are not difficult. Discussion post, papers, and occasionally quizzes. Otherwise I have been taking it one day at a time and maintaining my 4.0 GPA so far. The school does not provide, nor help with finding preceptors either so you are on your own with that. I have been lucky and found preceptors at the hospital I work at and I've had success on LinkedIn by emailing random people who list themselves as PMHNP or psych doctors. I'm still working full-time and attending the program. It's doable but has its ups and downs. Sometimes very hard and sometimes easy. Roxanne, what is the reason why you want to transfer from West Coast University?

This group aged like fine wine. Remember back when I just started out joining the ADN nursing program, now 5 years after graduation I'm in the MSN Nurse Practitioner program. Hope everyone is doing well

Did any of you attended or complete this program, I'm interested in the PMHNP program?

Sorry to hear your concerns but can you please enlighten us on what kind of issues you are having. I was just accepted into the program for Spring 2023. I have a 4.0 GPA from my BSN and I don't want to mess it up because I'm planning to do my DNP afterwards. I'd appreciate your reply thank you

I'm looking for information also, I researched their website but I haven't seen how long the program is? On their website it says $675 per credit as of today. If anyone who graduated the program or is currently in it has any high-yielding feedback to share about the program such as the structure, format, exams, is the program fully online?

Hi I heard the Yvonne’s PMHNP review is a must all my colleagues passed their boards with that review www.pmhnpexamprepreview.com

I currently make $141K a year doing travel nursing in FL but that's doing bedside nursing 12 hour shifts and I'm getting burnt out I've been a nurse for 13 years LPN then RN. I have a lot of hospital experience which will help me as a NP in the future. I'm 39 and just looking to pursue my NP that I can be comfortable in a specialty without feeling exhausted everyday. Thinking for the future and long term I'm not getting any younger. I know that I'll make the same as a NP what RNs are making now but at least I won't be burnt out. University of St. Augustine is another NP Program you can look into I have their brochure still if you need it

The reason I'm interested in Herzing is just to get it over and done with quickly. I've seen other much better schools but I can't imagine going to school for another 3+ years. I'm lucky to say I have no student debts or loans I've always worked full-time and go to school and pay my way. I currently do travel nursing for the past 3 years but I'm looking for the long term future I'd like to do the NP and open my own mental health practice. I'm getting tired of doing bedside nursing in the hospitals.

I'm interested in Herzing University for FNP or PMHNP so far I've seen mostly good reviews but students do complain of a lot of busy work which I feel will be the case at any graduate school. There tuition is decent at $35K but it can be lower based off of how many credits you enter the program with, also they offer scholarships off the bat if you have a GPA >3.8 that's a 2K off your tuition plus others to apply for. There admission requirements is simple *Meet the minimum GPA requirement of 3.0 or above for the program. *Submit Transcript from previous RN and/or BSN school for evaluation. * Fill out application * No entrance exam No pressure

Hi I am also starting the PMHNP program in January 2023. I live in West Palm Beach, Florida. I have 7 years experience working in Psych and Substance abuse, I work closely with the Psych NPs at my current job. So I hope that will help me secure preceptors for clinicals. I read the previous Cohort thread from 2021 and 2020 to get an idea of what I will be getting into. Sounds like a lot of busy work but very doable. I work full-time 3x 12 hour shifts. If any previous students have any insight into the program please let me know. Thank you.

Hey there, I'm a RN i am planning to do my BSN at WGU starting in early 2020. Thought id put a new post up for prospective and past students. Id love to know how the program is structured and what to expect What order is best to tackle the courses in. Please respond with any knowledge you might have and your experience. Thanks

So....$485 per credit hour and there are a max of 32 credit hour for the BSN Core so total tuition averages around $15,520 before books. Books are probably about $600-$900 new...and you can purchase them used from pass students if its the same edition.

Hello everyone, I am starting this thread for the nursing applicants for the Spring 2018 BSN program at JU. This is a great way for us to network and keep helpful information to help our fellow students. I have an Associates Degree in Nursing from a ACEN accrediated school and I am a registered nurse working at a local hospital. I work full-time that's why I am opting to do their online program. I have heard great things from past students so far. Tuition is a bit expensive...as of today 10/18/17 its $485 per credit hour but I think it will be well worth it. Their program have 8 week in length courses that starts 6 times per year. Its very flexable, no mandatory log in times, pre-recorded lectures that you can watch over and over and I like the fact that it is 100% online. Any pass students want to chime in and let me know what your experience was like. Thank You!

I finally got the email to go ahead and register for Nurse 1 class yeahhhh

Yes, I was told because the Tabe test is a tool to test basic knowledge. Hope that helps. Call the nursing department still because everything changes rapidly with them. I was told that I still had to take it.
