1. Any PMHNP Fellowships?

   Shoshanna replied to 2015bsngirl's topic in NP Students

   Hello, I applied to five Advanced Practice Provider (APP) programs in early 2023 and I will list them below. I interviewed with three programs and have one offer at this time. This is not the entire list but rather the ones that were still open ...

2. 3rd year BSN-DNP intern or fellowship programs?

   Shoshanna replied to RN-DC's topic in Advanced

   There are fellowships but they are full-time jobs with didactic, exams, conferences, simulations, and other experiences that would keep you very busy in your almost year. As a reference, search for the ED Fellowship post by Benjamin for Albany Medica...

3. ED NP Fellowship Blog - Albany Medical Center

   Shoshanna replied to BenjaminV's topic in Advanced

   Hello Benjamin, Thank you for posting about your experience. It's difficult to find anyone documenting their experience as an APP Fellow regardless of specialty. I will start as a psychiatric APP Fellow in Fort Worth, TX in the Fall of 2023. Our...

4. UTEP vs UT Tyler PMHNP programs?

   Shoshanna replied to Texern's topic in NP Students

   Camille. I can't think of anything other than having a computer set up with at least one or two extra monitors connected to your laptop. The way the final exams at the end of the program were set up felt like being a tele-health provider. You need to...

5. UTEP vs UT Tyler PMHNP programs?

   Shoshanna replied to Texern's topic in NP Students

   I would say most of the professors are good at explaining concepts and then providing outlines/blueprints/key points to know before every exam. In addition, the rubrics for papers and projects are very detailed, so you know exactly how much informati...

6. UTEP vs UT Tyler PMHNP programs?

   Shoshanna replied to Texern's topic in NP Students

   I'll be graduating Spring 2023 and found the following courses the most challenging either because of how much I studied or based on people who dropped out: Clinical Semester 1- people didn't write substantial papers and Clinical challenges are ...

7. PMHNP UT Tyler

   Shoshanna replied to omotee's topic in NP Students

   Hi there, Key Points are like a Blueprint for each exam. It's what the professor calls them. Usually they are at the top of the module page.

   Shoshanna replied to omotee's topic in NP Students

   The Key Points are usually your best bet when it comes to studying material. Not every module has a PowerPoint and the PPTs are not as comprehensive as the notes you will make from the Key Points. Make a study group and share the work. It's a lot of ...

9. PMHNP UT Tyler

   Shoshanna replied to omotee's topic in NP Students

   You'll be taking 9 hours simultaneously in the Spring and Fall as a full time student. As far as I know they do, but I don't start clinicals for another year so I'm not sure how it works yet. Sorry, you'll have to ask our advisor about that part (Jan...

10. PMHNP UT Tyler

    Shoshanna replied to omotee's topic in NP Students

    I'm a full time student and I work PRN. I think being a full-time student and a full time employee is not a good idea unless you have over 200 hours of PTO to burn. There will be some weeks where not going to work is the best way to pass an exam. I w...

11. PMHNP UT Tyler

    Shoshanna replied to omotee's topic in NP Students

    I love the program at UT Tyler so far. I have been able to learn so much and get great grades. I recommend all my BSN coworkers to go to UT Tyler over UTA because UTA makes some classes ridiculously hard for no reason. I have a class where I have to ...

    Shoshanna replied to omotee's topic in NP Students

    Hi Lisa, I completely understand your GPA issue. I know there is a preference for brick and mortar schools like UT Tyler and Arlington in this field, but they are also the most competitive. Keep applying to schools because your compassion for th...

13. PMHNP UT Tyler

    Shoshanna replied to omotee's topic in NP Students

    Hi Lisa, I was an internal transfer at UT Tyler but I think their FNP and PMHNP requirements are similar. 75% of the PMHNP students in my cohort have no psych experience. However, I know that most of us had 4.0 GPAs from our RN-BSN programs or w...

14. UT Tyler Fall 2021

    Shoshanna replied to Alica Das's topic in School Programs

    I'm not in the post-master's program, just the MSN PMHNP. There aren't many full-time students in the MSN or post-master's because of the three-class requirement. Most other programs I know of only do two classes per semester full-time.

15. UT Tyler Fall 2021

    Shoshanna replied to Alica Das's topic in School Programs

    It's doable but it will be tough. I'm a full time PMHNP MSN student and I only worked 2 days a week for my first semester. I'm glad I did because the text heavy classes can be 12 to 15 chapters per test. If you can be part time that would be best. If...
