Psych NPs can easily be taken advantage of when it comes to the amount of patients some employers want you to see. Pros: (1) Increased responsibilities and level of critical thinking/knowledge used; (2) PMHNPs are paid decent in current market; (3) Very rewarding working with psych patients; (4) no weekends, no weird shift hours. Cons: (1) High ...
Most online programs will not find you placements. If you want online programs that will give a serious effort in locating you placements, try places like Duke, Vanderbilt, and Rush. Any online program should have live synchronous classes, otherwise students are going to miss out on live interactions. 14. OliviaMarieMouras.
As a psych np, in general, you will be conducting psychiatric assessments and prescribing and managing medications. This can be in acute setting like a consultation liaison in a psych ED or inpatient psych units or hospitals, or could be on an outpatient basis, or on a community health basis like an ACT team. 1.

Frontier ALSO created the FNP role, after they realized that other family members needed care (outside of the mother and infant). I’m biased. Frontier faculty member. 😆. 2. Award. [deleted] • 2 yr. ago. EKU is the best mix of good reputation and program and affordable.
Md's, nurse anesthetists, dentists, PA's, ect all go to real school full time and take out loans. You cannot learn the intricacies of the world of medicine online. Frankly, i think online programs for np, especially this "doctor of np" should be abolished.
However there are many NPs working in mental health/psychiatry here, they are just primary health care trained (90% of Canadian NP programs are PHC). NPs are licensed as PCPs that focus on adult, paeds and/or family (all ages). They can not open and operate their own practices, but they do have an independent scope of practice.
At the time, it was #1 for ACNP, but I don’t think the criteria for NP school rankings reflect the reality. Penn found us preceptors, as they have a robust alumni network. We also had instructors visit our clinical sites weekly or near weekly. We have to turn in all of our notes and H&Ps.
KAtusm. • 5 yr. ago. Nurse practitioners fill a much needed role in psychiatry to address the gross under availability of providers. As for clinical skill, I think the same rule of thumb is true for doctors and nurse practitioners: those that devote themselves to learning beyond their curriculum end up being competent.
Hi. I’m a PMHNP and share your fears about the profession. I work in child & adolescent inpatient psychiatry. I had 8 years of c&a psych experience in various roles prior to becoming a nurse (then worked at a residential psych facility and as a SANE before becoming an NP). The two days a week rotation grinds my gears.
tellis017 • 2 yr. ago. If this is the case it probably won’t be long until PMHNP is as oversaturated as FNP. Reply. -AngelSeven- • 2 yr. ago. FNP is not oversaturated. If it was, there wouldn't still be a massive primary care provider shortage. The problem is that FNPs all want to work in the same locations.
