Question for the PMHNP's

Hello all,

I am a new grad with an opportunity to work in either an inpatient behavioral health unit or an outpatient behavioral health clinic. My goal is to become a PMHNP but I am not sure which position to take. Which setting do you think would best prepare me for graduate school and/or my role as a PMHNP?

(Just for context, the inpatient position pays significantly more and the schedule is three 12's prestigious hospital. The outpatient position is at a Non profit organization, salaried and five days a week.)

Thanks for all your help!

    Without a doubt an inpatient, locked, adult unit will give you the best exposure to presentations, meds and adverse reactions. Search here there are many threads on this topic.

    I just finished my MSN PMHNP program. I would encourage the inpatient experience. You will get a close look at various disorders and their treatment. Good luck to you! (The pay and schedule sound MUCH better as well)!
