Hello Nurses: Just wondering if anyone had good recc on online PMHNP programs. Preferably, MSN level that will find clinicals? This may be rare, but all information is appreciated.

Honestly speaking i don't understand the lack of support from seasoned nurses to newer nurses. As one person explained above, newer nurses are returning back to school a lot quicker than previous nurses did 15 years ago, because the opportunities presents itself quicker nowadays...with many BSN programs having a direct entry into the DNP/NP following BSN graduation and most people like myself would prefer to get their education done and over with, so you don't lose momentum for studying, clinicals, papers etc. I dont see why older nurses find this to be such a big deal. Everyone's life is different. I finished my BSN in my late 20s, but i graduated with people who were 22-24 years old, should i be upset because life afforded them the opportunity to become a nurse sooner than it did me? NO! A lot of people have their lives planned out and are very diligent at reaching milestones and goals. Seasoned nurses/NPs will argue that new grad NPs don't know what theyre doing beacuse they lack the bedside nursing exp and skills...but i've seen and heard physicians criticize the education of the NP as a whole and that includes the most seasoned nurses/NP's...so regardless of the cutthroat behavior we display against each other...remember some old school physicians will always see us as just NURSES and it doesn't matter if you're BSN, DNP, Phd ..so lets not further tare each other down with negative comments about career and education. NURSE ON PEOPLE!?

@AS8812 how are you liking the program at UofA pmhnp? About when did they let you know you were admitted?

same here i was rejected as well , but got into another program. Best of luck all

@LBR88 were you able to get an interview for FNP? i am waiting as well. Kinda weird that they are extending app deadline but still haven't released decisions for those who applied by the initial deadline.

@Chemiralins22 did you need to have psych exp first? I originally wanted that program but did FNP because i didnt have psych experience.

@x3liza Well good thing is you atleast got an interview. Thats so awesome. best of luck to you. was the interview intimidating?

@JackChase1212 That is awesome ! ? did your program ask you to atleast work part time or per diem to gain psych exp before acceptance? Or they were able to accept the OR experience? Kudos to you being almost done.

@ql279 which location and program did you apply to? I dont really know how to feel because my status still says " Committee Ready" but the homepage says they're still accepting apps for fall 2019. I wonder why they didn't send out all of their Admit/reject decisions before accepting additional apps.....Just my thought. Congrats on your acceptance ?

@Wsmit I hope so because i have not gotten a call or heard anything about an interview

so if you have not gotten an interview yet, are there chances you may not be admitted?

Has anyone gotten interviews for baltimore campus FNP?

Still haven't heard anything yet...starting to think we may not hear until after christmas ? Has anyone else heard anything?

@Carrie_RN Thank you so much for your comment.Will keep in mind.

@Workitinurfava Thank You so much for this! Will keep this in mind.
