Omg i cant wait to do that last semester of nursing so far. i love ur life

I was diagnosed with DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder) & it upended my life terribly. I was misdiagnosed multiple times & spent a lot of time in multiple different hospitals. The psychiatric nurses were amazing to me and I’ve always wanted to be a nurse since I was in high school. Now that all my alters have fused with me (the end goal of talk therapy) & I’m back to just my one original personality I’m going back to school for nursing with the end goal of being a Psychiatric Nurse practitioner. I think my experience gave me a unique perspective on mental illness and DID so I would be especially understanding of those in my care.

Like coming out as a new graduate what different job setting can you go into and what would you have done differently throughout ya NP journey.

Good video!! Do you precept students, if so what is the fee ? I am considering attending a dual program (fnp/pmhnp). If I do, I'll need to find my own preceptors (in New Jersey, Connecticut, or anywhere other than NY).

hi there! i have a few questions since i’m very interested in being a psych np :) - did you get your ADN or BSN to become a psych np? and do you know if theres a difference in the two, or which one is better? - when you became an RN, did you work in psych units? - did you become remote after becoming a psych NP? thank you in advance!!

Hi, I got my BSN in Nursing, then got my Masters in Nursing to become a Family NP then went for my Psych NP 4 years later…As a RN, I did not work on any psych units just surgical care and observation for a total of 5 years, yes I work remote as a Psych NP but go to the office 5 days a month because a provider has to be on site for TMS mapping, while in the office I see patients remotely

Did you start as a new grad? If so, what advice would you give to a new grad PMHNP desiring to do tele. All of my clinicals has been tele due to Covid, so I'm use to it & don't want to go in-person. haha

No I was a family np first, but I started my psych np doing tele…I have a video that shares my advice for nps…but I would say be prepared to start seeing patients right after orientation because most jobs do not train so you want to be as knowledgeable as possible on diagnoses and treatment, psych is most subjective so it can be challenge…I order a pearls for psych np course, check it out at www.pearlsfornps.com

Hello! I just passed my ANCC board and have interviews lined up next week. Did you work remotely right after passing your board or did you have live patient encounter as a provider first?

Good luck on your interviews. I become a psych np in 2021, so I worked remotely for all my psych jobs, now I currently have to go to the office 5 days a month in supervising TMS treatments.

Did you diagnose them all originally or do you just trust the previous diagnosis?

Most I diagnosed during the psych evaluation, some had previous diagnoses from other providers, which i validate or refute during a psych evaluation.

@@pearlsfornps Thank you for the reply! For something like dissociative identity disorder, how many symptoms have to be present to confirm that is what they are suffering from? Also, is it even possible to diagnose in a one hour session? Symptoms such as sudden memory loss seem as though they’d be very difficult to diagnose in such a short session. I am so intrigued about this career path.

That's the science behind it..... DSM5 book will tell you all you need to know about what we do. Besides, many mental illnesses may may be supported with facts!!!! Dementia may be supported by imaging.... If you want to dwell in fiction, then I strongly recommend drump university. Take care@@DPO770
