Thank you so much for the words of wisdom!! I am a PMHNP student and looking forward to more content to help me become the competent, impactful provider that I desire to be!

Great video, thank you for sharing your experience!

Thanks, I appreciate your honesty feel as if you are 100% on spot!

I really needed to hear this. Thank you so much for making this video, very helpful :)

Great videos. I'm in PMHNP school after 22 years in critical care/emergency and I am so thrilled. Your information is valuable and inspirational.

You're so encouraging, and I enjoy your videos!

Another great insightful video! Keep them coming boss 🙏🏽

Great job...starting school in march...and you r very encouraging

Another great video!

Congrats!! I’m a PMHNP as well & paid my loans off! Great video!! What are your favorite resources?

I am starting clinicals. I have worked on inpatient psychiatry for 6 years and before that three years ED level 1 trauma center. It's nice to hear how your journey has been.

What are the subspecialties for a pmhnp? What's subspecialty with the most shortage?

I am super interested in getting my PMHNP. I have pediatric and OR experience. I can’t find any outpatient psych opportunities as a RN! Do you think starting PMHNP without experience is appropriate?

Thank you for your video! Do you think gaining psych experience at a forensic State hospital would be as valuable as experience gained from an acute inpatient setting?

Thanks for the update, as an aspiring future pmhnp, I look forward to these vids. I have 2 questions. 1. How long after graduation did you know you wanted to open your own practice? 2. I'm still a little confused as to the difference between pmhnp and a psychiatrist, do you do more meds management and they do more therapy?

May I ask why/how would psych NP has a residency? Is it paired with your program or you found your own residency program after graduating? I know that most np schools have no residency like the medical schools. Some may have optional fellowships. IMO I wouldnt feel confident if I were thrown on the floor running w/o residency and start practice full scale right after np school.

I applied for a master's FNP program (waiting to hear back for acceptance) When I am done I want to get into psychiatry that is my passion. So this isn't a dedicated program for psych NP so I would like to ask what do I need to do in order to get into this field after the program is it just s certification or is there another program I have to take.

What PMHNP school did you go to? It sounds like a great program.

Hi! I wanna know which country is best for psychiatric nurses? Like a workplace full of competent psychiatrist, etc. I'm planning to be a psychiatric nurse when I grow up :))

Hi I have a question! So I was wondering if I have practiced as a LPC for a few years but what to further my education/try a different path professionally, would becoming a Psych NP after working as a therapist be a good idea/worth it? Thank you!

Hi there! I’ve been considering applying my this year for a PMHNP program but need some advise, as I hear my hospitals program is super competitive to get into. I’ve been a nurse for about 2.5 years now and work on a epilepsy/neuro trauma PCU floor. I’m very confident in my skills as a neuro nurse, I frequently am in charge and have leadership opportunities on my floor, I love the PCU level patients and using my nursing skills and critical thinking, but feel like since I don’t have psych experience necessarily I’m at a disadvantage. We have an inpatient psych hospital that I can transfer to around the time I would be applying for the program, but was wondering what others thought? Being on a neuro floor we get a lot of our patients who have acute onset delirium, TBI’s, Huntington’s, Parkinson’s, strokes, brain tumors, other crazy neurological disorders that we normally don’t see day to day. Is this experience going to help me? Or should I transfer?

Thank you for making this video, I would like to be a PMHNP, currently a Registered Nurse, can you please share an online school to attend? Thanks

Anyway I could message you for advice? Graduating in June looking for insight on what I should do for my first job that will set me up for success in opening my own practice within a few years

Going off of what you mentioned about being so much more knowledgeable now than you were at the 6 month mark, do you ever look back at patients you have treated, and wish you could have treated them differently with the knowledge you now have? If so, do you ever feel any feelings of guilt knowing that a patient with a previously misdiagnosed/slightly incorrectly diagnosed illness could have been treated properly had you just had the knowledge you have at this moment? Just a random thought I had pop in my head.

Last year, around this time you helped me make my decision to whether stay locally in the DMV area or go to New York for PMHNP. Today, I started looking for preceptorship and thought of you, I know you are in the DMV area and would love to shadow you for the Fall 2021 session.

I would like to know your thoughts on doing a one-year fellowship program versus going straight into an outpatient practice right out of school? Thank you!

Do nurse practitioners have to be vaccinated? Not just Covid vaccine but MMR, hepatitis B, Dtap etc or could a nurse practitioner be exempt or exempt him or herself?
