    ForensicPMHNP posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I will be taking the boards in August and I am deciding between these two, Fitzgerald is significantly more expensive but also well known with a good track record. A class mate of mine used...

  2. Business Opportunities for ACNPs?

    ForensicPMHNP replied to CVVH's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am in my last semester of my PMHNP program and I work as a Psych RN, however, one of the faculty members at my school who teaches the acute care students has a successful practice that is focused on...

  3. New Paradigm for the DNP. What do you think?

    ForensicPMHNP replied to KetafolDNP's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Personally I think turning the DNP into a residency/fellowship year in which students basically work as NPs under supervision with a capstone project at the end would make more sense. I am in my last...

  4. FNP or WHNP?

    ForensicPMHNP replied to Jessy27's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am finishing up my NP Program in Psych Mental health, but one of the things I recall was that two years ago during orientation the advisor rounded up all the WHNP students and advised them to switch...

  5. No NP jobs. What now?

    ForensicPMHNP replied to OkieNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This is very important to remember, one thing I realized is that many employers will always favor NPs with experience, especially FNPs,PNPs and AGNPs. Thus the makret may seem tight for a new grad but...

  6. MGH IHP DE NP 2020

    ForensicPMHNP replied to Psychmeout2's topic in School, College Programs

    It's straight into it but most of my class mates got jobs while doing the rest of the program. We graduate May of next

    ForensicPMHNP replied to TheNietzsche's topic in School, College Programs

  10. In-home NP Medicare Assessments

    ForensicPMHNP replied to lvICU's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Just a quick question, do they have positions that focus on psych evals and assessments too? Or are these jobs mainly focused on regular medical conditions? I am in school to be a Psych NP in Boston...

  11. going straight into becoming an NP after BSN?

    ForensicPMHNP replied to schallerjasmine's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    RN's and NP's do not do the same thing. RN experience helps a lot, no doubt about it. But if you are smart and work hard you will be fine either

  12. Opinion on "direct entry/immersion" NP programs for non-nurses?

    ForensicPMHNP replied to simcc's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Now to be fair most jobs will give preference to experienced NPs a d RNs km just about any place but there are still jobs for new grads at least here in New

  13. Opinion on "direct entry/immersion" NP programs for non-nurses?

    ForensicPMHNP replied to simcc's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have many mentors that re Nurse managers and MD's and this is a question I posed to them when I first entered my program. The truth is: HIRING MANAGERS DO NOT CARE. There is a terrible shortage or...

    ForensicPMHNP replied to DahyanaSchlosser's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Regis is not a bad program, not as good as BC, MGH and the others but it is a legitimate

  15. Psych NP vs FNP

    ForensicPMHNP replied to Jmallard's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I do not think that a non constructive song and dance between us will change anything. The ship has sailed. You obviously have your gripes when it comes to direct entry programs and what not, that's...

  16. Psych NP vs FNP

    ForensicPMHNP replied to Jmallard's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Psych NP's generally make more money but FNP's have a lot of versatility and can work in a larger variety of settings. However you need to make sure you enjoy what you do and not just go for where the...

  17. Direct Entry Masters/NP

    ForensicPMHNP replied to HealthCare92's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    3 years is not that bad to be honest. Some Direct Entry programs last 2 years you just have to research the ones in your area. As far as quality studies show that outcomes for direct entry graduates...

  18. How to become a NP w/ a BS in Bio

    ForensicPMHNP replied to Sally89's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You would apply to a direct entry MSN program after completing the prerequisite courses (some schools require that you take the GRE as well). These programs are usually 2-3 years after which you would...

  19. University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Master's Entry Program in Nursing (MEPN) vs. MGH Institute of Health Professions

    ForensicPMHNP replied to ABfutureNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    All of the people I know that graduated from MGH had a job offer before graduation...Moreover MGH is pretty respected. It is owned by Partners Healthcare which owns Mass General Hospital and Boston's...

  20. Is Regis College a good school?

    ForensicPMHNP replied to Jenn30's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am attending MGH but I have two friends that went to Regis (FNP track) the school is ok, it is a brick and mortar school which is good and they have a good pass rate for the boards. However, both my...

  21. Can I get into an NP Program with a 3.5?

    ForensicPMHNP replied to NNurseLina's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    3.5 is good enough for almost all the good schools out there, as long as your statement is good and you have good references you should not have an issue. I had a 3.5 and was admitted to all the...

  22. University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Master's Entry Program in Nursing (MEPN) vs. MGH Institute of Health Professions

    ForensicPMHNP replied to ABfutureNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    These are all valid points...in the end it will be up to you and what you want. Just remember that you will have to pay that 100k back with interest and we will not be getting the kind of money MD's...

  23. University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Master's Entry Program in Nursing (MEPN) vs. MGH Institute of Health Professions

    ForensicPMHNP replied to ABfutureNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    For me yes, 40K vs 100K debt would be a no brainer, even if you make a lot of money as a NP in CA having to pay off a 100k plus interest won't be fun. You would get to attend a respected program and...

    ForensicPMHNP replied to ABfutureNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hi, first things first, NP school rankings are of little consequence in the real world; as long as you went to a good school that is not viewed as an online diploma mill you will be fine so if I were...
