hi! i am wondering if anyone knows what the admissions rate for the msn program is or what the average gpa, test scores, etc are. I have been looking everywhere and I can't seem to find anything and I'd like to get a better sense of what my chances of acceptance are for this program

Hello, I know there are a lot of questions about what its actually like to be a psychiatric nurse but none seem to answer all of my questions. I am a current BS in Psychology undergrad and I am considering doing an NP program in mental health. I have heard good things about psychiatric nursing but I have also heard that it looses a lot of the actual "psychology" and is often consumed with writing prescriptions? Can anyone in the field tell me whether this is true or tell me how much a psychiatric nurse can actually do therapy? I've heard many places think financially it isn't worth it for NPs to do any CBT etc. I also have heard NPs can be involved in research and was wondering whether or not that was common/easy. Finally, I was wondering if there are any programs/schools that allow you to get both a mental health and forensics degree. I would really love to some day be able to testify as an expert witness. Sorry for so many questions! I will appreciate any answers that get at any aspect of this questions, any info will be very helpful in my decision making!
