For USA? I'm in the psychiatric track. I have two years of experience and a bachelors of psychology as well. My GPA was about 3.8. No entrance tests that I know of! Program is online

Hi rkitty198, thanks so much for reaching out. I am a behavioral health RN and am newly enrolled in an online DNP-PMHNP program. I am relocating to the area and am looking for a job in behavioral health but have also considered the benefits of possibly enrolling in a med-surg residency/fellow program as I went straight into the OR as a circulator when I graduated nursing school. I have about 8 months of experience in behavioral health (but also have a psychology degree/other BH experience) and a year in the OR. I will have been a nurse for two years in November. My school is affiliated with Swedish so I could also have the opportunity to complete my clinical rotations for NP there. I'm a little confused about which specialities they are offering and whether I would qualify for a residency or fellow position and will be contacting recruiters regarding this after this holiday weekend. I know I haven't really asked a specific question but I would appreciate any insight or advice you could offer!

I thought they required you to have less than a year of experience. Is this not true?

Awesome! Congrats!!

Did you apply to those hospitals first too? If so, how did it go?

Lol! I don't know what I was thinking! Have you moved there yet?

Cvepo, How do you like working at OHSU? I am relocating to Portland from New Orleans later this year and am about to start applying for jobs. My specialty is behavioral health and I am in an online school for PMHNP. Megan

Hello! Did you end up finding a job in behavioral health in Seattle? I am relocating to the area later this year! Thecrossfitrn, thank you for your awesome summary of the hospitals there. Megan

I am certainly open to nearby towns that are in a 30 minute range or so. I am enrolled in an online DNP program and our university has many affiliated clinical sites in Portland so I would like to work relatively close by. Where are you located, klone? I appreciate the response!

Hi studentmomma, I came across your comment and would like to know if where you work is still hiring? I am relocating to Portland from New Orleans this fall and plan to start applying to jobs soon. I would really appreciate any additional insight you have to offer!

Congrats and thanks for the info! I don't believe they have mental health unfortunately but it is something to think about! Good luck with everything!

Hi everyone! This is pretty specific but does anyone happen to know anything about psych nursing in Denver? I am in school for PMHNP and I've been interested in moving to the area for quite awhile. I live in New Orleans so it has been difficult to find out information during my short trips there. Thanks!

DeeGeeRN, Awesome! I iive in LA also and have a friend who also got in the MSN program for psych! Are you doing the program online?

I received mine yesterday as well for PMHNP DNP! Congrats to everyone! I guess we should start a Facebook page soon :)

Congrats!! Did you apply for MSN or DNP?
