Does anyone know when we will start hearing about interviews for PMHNP? I am getting really nervous! I receieved a confirmation email on December 17th or 18th that they had receieved everything and it was in review right now.

Hey ya'll! I am also wondering if anyone has received an interview notice yet? I applied to the PMHNP as well and I know that it was around this exact time last year that the first interviews were done. I got a confirmation email that my file was sent for review about a month ago. I am a direct entry I guess, I have a BSN already. Anyone have any updates?

@ jordans-- I believe in the next week or two they will start looking at applications and scheduling interviews. I work with several NPs who went there and are either teaching over there or in school for DNP and one told me that there is a stack of the first set of apps ready to be looked at soon! In general you hear late January/early February about an interview... I am getting really nervous. Do you know if everyone gets one or no?

The email I got was from a woman named Carrie Snider and she said I will be speaking with her and Dr. Susie Adams and Mona Hoehler. I don't know any faculty there so I have no idea what to expect!

@jordans -- you will do great!! Dr. Adams seems very nice :) What I was told is they will ask you more about your interview/survey questions in depth. why you want to go in the field, what you understand pmhnp to be etc.. Let me know how it goes!

Hey guys! So I had my phone interview yesterday. has anyone else had one yet? they told me yesterday was their first day of the first round. i guess the first round refers to those of us who applied by priority deadline? they asked me a few questions about my goals and then it was a lot of them telling me information about the program. they told me that letters go out end of feb/beginning of march but that i should call in a monthish if i don't hear anything. she told me that i am a competitive applicant because i am distance and already have a bsn. i think that's a good thing? haha overall i think it went well but who knows what they are judging on. if anyone else has theirs let me know how it was!
