I know it's early, but I was just accepted into the 2016 Spring PMHNP program at EKU. So excited and hope that there are others out there!

It's going to be quite a ride as I must work full time as long as possible, but one way or another I'm going to make this happen!

Are there any other students out there?

Hi Vegan RN BSN! I am at EKU, started January 2015. I really like it! I'm getting ready to start my clinicals. I like the professors (we have had wonderful professors--all but maybe one grump) a lot. We have had super nice, caring, supportive, and available professors. If we wanted to have an adobe connect (live session with them), they would schedule one in the evening and people could log on and go over a difficult week (cardiology med week) and just really be there for us. I loved Pharmacology (the professor was just the best ever, I can't say enough good things about her) and I loved Health Assessment & the professor with that class....Theory and Research had the nicest professors as well and very involved with weekly adobe connects...That was a year ago and seems so long ago...Overall, I have been very pleased with the program...I start the PMHNP courses now and I can't wait. Good luck! EKU has an online group through their website and an EKU grad school group on FB....But, the email system is really a fabulous way to get in touch with peers. Reach out to the people in your group and get to know them....Email them, call them, they will be your support system--you will NEED them throughout the year for emotional and academic support...Especially in Theory or Research, sometimes a fresh pair of eyes looking over your papers can find some errors....NOW, that being said, you will hear "scholarly writing" until it's coming out of your ears...So, make sure you follow APA format TO A "T"!!!! If you do not get an "A" in Theory, it will be because you did not follow APA...So, use the SmartThinking (it's the people who review your paper and edit it and it's FREE through EKU) option...It will be on your BlackBoard under TOOLS...Good Luck!
