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.

[@Michael300winmag]

Why did it burnt you out? Are you seeing more than 10 patients a day? Or you are doing Medicaid?

[@TheDiamondladyone]

Was wondering that too because I’m getting burned out in outpatient with a company…thinking about options as well

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?

[@stephie8978]

I think it is not right for these schools to let in students who do not have any experience as a Psyvh RN! My school required it, but it was a long time ago so I don’t remember the number of years required. Employers are telling the new grads to go be a Psych RN for a few years! As for the money- some of the RNs on our unit make more or about the same as I do. They get holiday and overtime pay. I’m salary. However, I love my job. I feel I make an impact and do have autonomy and flexibility. I’ve been PMHNP for over 11 years and just wish I had done it sooner! There are many PMHNPs but due to many being new grads there are so many jobs out there! I get info every day- calls, emails, texts, etc. I think we are finally proving our worth that employers see the benefit and hiring more of us. 😊. Hopefully they will start paying us appropriately for all the work we do.

[@skierprincessakify]

I think it’s terrifying these programs exist!

No it's not if you did it the correct way and worked as a psych nurse. You should have multiple preceptors in mind. Now if you came from the floor with no psych experience that's on you.

Unfortunately it has been more difficulty for individuals to find a preceptor but if you are able to network while getting experience , it goes a long way

[@mrhouse12]

Similar situation. From what I’ve read online, it seems like people agree the DNP isn’t really worth it. If a pmhnp DNP becomes required like CRNA, you would probably grandfathered in like MSN CRNAs were.
