I am interested in pursuing an ABSN and working in psychiatric nursing.
I have been exploring the job ads and it seems there are a lot less psychiatric RN jobs compared to the other nursing specialties (not taking into account psych NP jobs, which is a totally different job).
For anyone with experience in this specialty, how is the demand for entry level psychiatric RNs compared to other nursing settings? Should I be worried about potentially not finding an entry level position as a psych nurse upon graduation from an ABSN? (if it makes any difference, I live in California)
