Very true. I certainly hope folks aren't just doing this for the perceived increased pay. I have enjoyed following you through the years @fullglass and I'd love to hear from you where you are recruiting for. Please DM me if you are willing. Thank you!

Why hasn't anybody commented on this? The VA appears to be doing quite a bit of these residencies for new grad PMHNPs. I'm really curious if anyone has done one, and what the experience was like. @Merky101 - did you decide to pursue this experience?

I can't seem to edit my original post - maybe the moderators will..... I meant to say that I cannot find a post-MSN cert program that converts an MSN to a DNP. There appear to be plenty of post-MSN cert switching specialties, like post-MSN cert in PMHNP (from, say, FNP).

I can't find an MSN to DNP program for someone who already has their MSN in PMHNP specialization and would like to add the rigor and research of a DNP. Plenty of programs offering online PMHNP BSN or bridge ADN to DNP, or a post-MSN cert switching specialties. Thank you!

It does seem like it!

@verene - can you tell me more about this? I didn't realize there was a new CCNE rule or decision that affects PMHNP preceptor selection. Thank you.

What about an ADN to a MSN bridge? I know these exist....try a quick Google search. If I see one, I'll try to post back.

Very poorly worded questions.

I think it is good! Did you get in and complete the program? (I see the post is from 2015).

For all of those who replied to OP on acceptance to EKU PMHNP - how is it? Please provide an update on how the program is, likes/dislikes and if you are still attending EKU. Appreciate it!

This was my suggestion, too. You may really enjoy psych, or despise it. You could look at doing travel nursing; you could get a 8- or 13-week travel assignment in Kingman, PHX, Tucson (all locations that frequently use psych travelers), and not too far from Sedona. When does your PMHNP EKU program start? You stated you were in the enrollment process....would love to hear an update on if you like EKU!

@Psych-NP - Yes. While I like some of their changes like the option of multiple admission dates, UND has changed their pricing a lot!!

@JDRN - so did you transfer to another school to complete your PMHNP? If so, where are you now, and how are you liking it? ?

HI Bea Bea, can you give us an update on how you are doing and in what setting you're having your first PMHNP experience?

brentntexas - tried to PM you but your box is full. How do you like EKU??
