Very informative podcast - im 26 and a new grad nurse and was able to land a rn supervisor role - looking forward to pursuing psych np school after about a year of working as a psych rn supervisor :)
Thank you this podcast. It actually comes at a perfect time because I have been accepted to the University of Texas at El Paso PMHNP program and start in August. I’m a disabled veteran and want to improve the access veterans have to mental health because I know how difficult it is. One question I had for you ladies for someone without a ton of psych experience, I had one year early in my career, do preceptors care about how much psych experience you have when applying to precept with them, or do you think they are more interested in your ability to learn? Thank you.
That’s a great question. I would say there are some preceptors (other PMHNPs) who do say they only are choosing to take Psych NP students with psych experience. This is not all preceptors, but I have heard this is the case for some. And some jobs have a strong preference for new grad Psych NPs with psych RN experience; again some jobs not all.
I just found this podcast & was SOO excited to see my Dream Team together! 🤩Thank you for this content. Getting ready to start semester 3 of 7!
You ladies are awesome! Love to see the fantastic four on here talking. Thank you for sharing and for being leaders in this industry. ❤
You’re the sweetest!
