Hello everyone, I am a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner sharing the tips I have learned along the way. I am excited to share my journey with you all!
As a psychiatric nurse practitioner student, this was incredibly helpful. Please consider creating similar videos for other categories of mental health disorders and the medications 🙏🏾
I was able to purchase the book. It's excellent read, organized, and great layout. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Very helpful recommend anyone to purchase it.
You can always tell who nurses are who didn’t have psych experience vs ones who did. PMHNP schools need to start requiring the experience. She has a “passion” but never got into the field, like, c’mon.
You can learn and train . When you begin as a nurse you generally don’t have experience so what is the difference? The main ingredient is to truly care and having empathy for your patients.
Filipino psych NPs! * lookin into starting my own practice. Marylands free roam no collabo law is where it's at. Ive spoken to my collabo doc maybe twice in the last year and a half and pretty much just manage my patients myself. Currently work 4 days a week 9 to 5 averaging maybe 9 to 14 pts a day and am doing a lot of additional supportive psychotherapy, solution focused, cbt restructuring things. Quick questions...1) Are your 2 jobs you work with large institutions or other larger practices? I need health benefits for a family of 4. 2) Would you recommend slowly transitioning to your private practice? 3) What EHR would you recommend as a startup? 4) besides the zoom or other companies you mentioned to help with credentialing, is there a company you know or recommend that helps with basically the whole setup process? There's limited information availabile online and if I find some good tips or info, a lot of it is dated years ago, a lot of info is Generalized to FNPs, telehealth practice startups, and there is not much info as to how much I could project coming in vs overhead with extra fees to keep things running. Apologies for all the questions. I guess it all boils down to asking if you know of any other resources or companies that could answer my inquiries up above? I'm a huge fan and want to tell you I was watching all of your earlier stuff when I was applying to grad school around 2018 2019. Time flies as I now can relate to all of the difficult learning experiences new grad psych NPs go through. Lastly, I just wanna tell you that there were few psych NPs posting videos at the time but your videos really helped me navigate from starting grad school, going through gradschool, and as a new grad NP. I didn't start feeling comfortable and confident enough until working about 2.5 to 3 years as a new grad. Biggups to you and thank you for sharing your knowledge and personal experiences through your channel over the years. You are a great motivation for me at this time and I hope to make my mark in the MH world of private practice!
Absolutely loved this video!! I think your video has been the only I found that is explaining in simple terms how you would prescribe. If you would make more videos like this, I would totally watch. For example, main diagnosis and why you choose a particular medication to begin with. The main differences between why would you choose one medication over another, just like you did in this video. I appreciate you doing this videos!
Thank you for sharing how long it takes you after seeing patient to document! This was something I really had to get used to, sometimes I’d take 2 hours + for 1 comprehensive 🙃
Thank you so much for your helpful videos! This video in particular helped me to really impress my preceptor today with my first interview as a NP student. (:
Congrats bro!! That is a BIG office space! Is your state a full autonomy state or do you collaborate? Curious for future reference. I am in Northeast Florida where we still can't practice with full autonomy YET.
Nice place! How much is your rent for that much space? I just passed my ANCC PMHNP exam and my goal is to put up my own private practice as well. You are such an inspiration to me.
I cannot find an answer on this anywhere on google: what is the educational path to become a full-practice psych np? I only see one university near me that offers a MSN-pmhnp but do i need a separate masters degree in nursing PRIOR to getting into an msn-pmhnp program? I am reading on the apu . edu website about their msn-pmhnp program and it says an msn is required prior to entry into the program. This makes no sense to me because why would you get a masters just to get a masters? I thought you could go straight into a pmhnp program straight from a bsn or even an adn. Can anyone clear this up for me? Also i originally thought the pmhnp was a dnp program but i guess it’s just a masters? i’m so lost here but my ultimate goal is to open my own practice as a psych np. I am currently applying to ADN and BSN programs. Thank you i’m advance to anyone who is willing to help me here.
You can apply to a PMHNP program with your ADN or BSN (depending on which school you choose), that will grant you your MSN or DNP degree. There are RN(ADN)-MSN direct entry programs and BSN-MSN or BSN-DNP programs. All decides on which schools offer what. Hope that helps.
Too early to increase. Watchful waiting. Do the therapy. MI, psychoeducation, establish sleep hygiene, and maybe some solutions focused therapy, focus on positives and solutions rather than problems. Labs obviously should be obtained. Sleep apnea? Sleep is worse on SSRI, thinking maybe headed towards mixed features. Monitor very closely. Add hydroxyzine 25 mg prn qhs. 50 is too much to start with. Maybe even 10mg. Lexapro- keep same at 10 and revisit in 2-3 weeks. Ensure safety.
