Looking for some insight into the Psych Mental Health NP Program with the University of Cincinnati, specifically the post-masters. I was previously enrolled in their PMC-FNP program which was sort of awful; instructors literally read from slides as your lecture and would take days to clarify content (which usually consisted of "refer to page bla bla" rather than a real explanation). I've previously taken online classes and this was insulting to say the least. I completed a couple semesters with As and decided to defer but chose to transfer to theit PMHNP program because we have a greater need in my area.
I'm curious to know how others found the PMHNP program at UC. I obviously know self directed learning requires focus and they all have their issues, but rather than applying to other schools, I'd like to commit to this one. However, I'm really nervous it's going to be similar to the FNP.
How were the final 9 courses (including 3 clinical)? Were instructors helpful and fast with responses? How was testing (I.e., proctored vs unproctored vs papers)? Were you able to have time with your family while completing your studies? How was it finding clinical locations as well as how long it took to get approval? If you took boards, were you prepared by UC and were you successful the first try?
I won't be starting back until the end of 2020, so I have time. Thanks in advance!
