I have a psych degree as well as a BSN. Seems better to just get my clinical psychologist masters and practice as a psychotherapist.

This was such a thoughtful discussion on the value of being a PMHNP in the coming years! Thanks for sharing your insights! 🎉

Have you found another job

I’m considering a career switch from being a licensed mental health therapist to a PMHNP. It’s basically starting school all over again so it’s a lot to consider, but your videos are helping me to better understand what that change might look like in the future! I’m curious if you know any PMHNP’s who used to be licensed therapists?

I AM LOOKING FORWARAD TO BE A NP PSYCH IN NEXT YEAR. I HOPE THIS WILL BE A GOOD MOTIVE .

Great content! Thanks for all your information in all your videos.

Thanks for your very helpful interview tips for the NP.

I would add - do not expect nursing in real life to be like "nurses on TV"

This video was incredibly helpful in giving me perspective as I pursue a Nurse Practitioner in Psychiatry (NP Psych) or a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP). I have a strong passion for psych and know of the significant shortage in that field. However, I am also interested in the medical aspects, particularly cardiology. I need to decide, but this video has helped me sort through my thoughts. Thank you so much! I have been watching your videos for years, even before I became a registered nurse (RN). I'm about to earn my BSN in three weeks and am looking for a program to continue my studies. You are indeed a gem! 💜👏🙏

Is the university of Herzing for be a psychiatrist nurse practitioner?

Critical overview!! You are one of the first to tackle this ever important issue- as a 30- year PMHNP I am very concerned about the motivation behind newer grads and wanting to start private practices after graduating? All PMHNP programs need to be showing your video before graduation as I'm concerned so many grads are pressured to think this is what you do! Very misguided and if people are going into this profession with $ in forefront, you will be disappointed...you don't get something for nothing after all!

Thank you

Nah get the schooling done with

Me thinks “I have shitty mental health help doesn’t help Okay so why not search “ becoming a psych np 2024”

Thanks so much for this wonderful video, the NP exam has been so difficult for me… but it seems so easy with your video and explanations.

Thank you for this video! It’s so refreshing to have a unbiased source. I appreciate the information!

Take college credit classes in high school so your prereqs are done then get your associates degree in 2 years. While working and getting experience take an online asn to bsn in a year. You can then get your msn in 2 years and you are a nurse practitioner in 5 years with 3 years of experience.

I quit my mental health job when I saw what was happening to patients every day. Being sent to the hospital over small stuff 😢

Dont any of you forget that when you take these jobs, you are putting the patient’s life, your license, and your freedom at risk. DEMAND training in your contracts and a ramp up period. You tell THEM how much time to schedule you. We cannot let these doctors and corporate giants exploit us anymore. None of us deserve to go sit in prison forever because a judge will remind us that we had the license and it was OUR job to be safe. Its so sad this is how things are for us 😢

Thank you for sharing. I have turned down about seven unsafe job offers as a new PMHNP. I have not worked for anyone else yet. Found my own MD, doing safe care on my own with Headway, won’t be going to work for anyone else because of these five reasons!!! Finally, I dont feel like I am the problem anymore. You see all the things I was seeing so I know Im not just imagining things or being negative. I feel so much better after watching this. THANK YOU!!!

do you think which school you go to matters?

Bro has fuggin ICANS or smth with that perseverating on “pros and cons”

Still worth it to me 🎉 I have been PsychNP since 2021: opened my PP in 2022 and it's burned me out. I'm moving on with a position in ICE Dentention Center with Immigration and Customs.

Thank you for making this video. I just graduated and passed the exam in August, but have felt in a slump and scared of starting my nursing career. Almost like I'm burned out from school, so I'm overthinking everything. Thanks for the reminder that my first job doesn’t have to be my forever job.

These psych NP videos are getting more and more money focused and scary AF!!! if you do not have years of psych floor RN experience please save yourself and choose another lane.

I'M A NEW SUBSCRIBER!!! WHEN ARE YOU COMING BACK??!!!

It would be more like 2026-2027 for me by the time I finish. Will it still be worth it then?

I am in the BSN. Should be done by December 2026. If applying to a PMHNP, that would take easily 2 to 3 more years. In 2030... how do you see job opportunities for the new recently grads BC-PMHNP?

dude why make this video while driving??? if you crash or get hit your so screwed.

You also get patients who think they are entitled to everything and anything. and then toxic co workers, who never get fired, but promoted. The world is a wicked place

Ok Union bosses. worse than nasty bosses. You have good attitude, and will do just fine

..No i wholeheartedly disagree. You're part of the problem.

Just accepted to PMHNP school! Start Jan 2025!

Yes I make over 200K as a bedside RN, I have a good block schedule 12s with a week off every other wk. I do want to do my NP but looked into it and it’s so expensive school wise. I don’t want to go into debt for a career where I will take a pay cut
