@TheDiamondladyone Thank you!!!

@jacquinunez3822 Hi there! Thanks for watching and for reaching out! You can find it here: www.etsy.com/PsychePsychNP/listing/1191111640/psychiatric-interview-questions Please let me know if you have any questions. Best, Camellia

@MyPMHNP Journey Hi there! Yes, I started a PMHNP placement service several months ago, although further processes have been on hold, since my practice development has taken precedence. I'm happy to share more as things get more settled! Let me know what specific questions you may have as of now. Feel free to email me as well.

@@CamelliaDThePsychNP Where would I find the correct email address?

@craz-char Hi there! Thank you for watching and for your feedback! You may absolutely reach out with questions. Click on the "About" section of my channel page and there are ways to reach out there! I look forward to hearing from you soon. :) -Camellia D.

@Abigail-nf8uo Great to hear! Thanks for watching!

@myradeleon8618 Absolutely! Thanks for watching! Best, Camellia

@katethegreat5947 Hi there! Thanks for watching and you are absolutely welcome! It can certainly be confusing and a lot to take in. I wish programs focused a little more on this. You're almost there! Keep me updated on where you end up after graduation. I love to hear these stories!☺ Best, Camellia D.

@behrpalomo4479 Thank you for watching and for your questions. I am speaking from some experience as an RN (now 18 years), and I have been practicing as a PMHNP for now ~7 years. I think nursing school prepares you to pass the board exam, and your clinical experiences prepare you more for feeling comfortable to actually practice as a new grad. This is why I often say, "focus on your clinicals," in both your BSN and MSN programs. Application of the didactic information is key. I think your goals are awesome! You may want to consider practicing for an organization while starting a private practice, due to the learning curve, but it's completely doable and worth it! (IMO) I'd love to hear what you come up with. Keep me posted. :) -Camellia D.

@WalterWheeler-xt9oe Thank you for your question, this is a great one! I have experienced that telehealth has remained a mainstream avenue for behavioral health care post-pandemic. In my opinion, the pandemic era simply demonstrated the usefulness and value of reaching more populations, which has translated to improved access to care. However, what I have seen change are the limitations that are being placed regarding specific treatment by telemedicine, i.e. controlled substances. I hope this answers your question. Please reach out with further questions. -Camellia D.

Absolutely! Thanks for watching! -Camellia D.

Hi there! Thanks for watching and for your question. Yes, this can get tough and taxing to toggle back and forth with the medical team in this setting. Are there things that you like about the ED setting? I would say that if you are lacking support and generally dissatisfied, maybe consider the inpatient unit, (where you may find a different balance with some similarities)? Or outpatient? I'd love to hear what you come up with. -Camellia D.

Hi there. I do a psych ROS based on the intake and I use assessments and questionnaires prior to the visit, which helps guide my initial evaluation. I'm happy to talk with you more offline if you'd like. :) Best, Camellia

Hi there! Thanks for your question. I think there is value in being a psych nurse prior to becoming a PMHNP. Although it is not a linear transition from RN to PMHNP, there are many skills that you can acquire by working closely in behavioral/mental health. Some programs now require this. I hope this helps? Please let me know what you come up with. Best, Camellia

@MyPMHNPJourney Thanks for your comments. These are my exact sentiments, hence the goal of eventually considering solo as well. There are certainly various options for treatment. I'd love to hear how this goes for you once you get started! -Camellia

@@CamelliaDThePsychNP Solo is my goal as well!

Hi there! Thanks for watching!

@DenisGrigorov Hi there! Thanks for your question. Actually, I was already an employee in the outpatient clinic for the same healthcare system, so it was a simple transition for me. Is this area of interest to you? -Camellia D.

@@CamelliaDThePsychNP I worked in psych ED as a nurse but now that I'm an NP, I know it's difficult to find work in ER as a practitioner. Good to hear you found one.

@CollaboratingDocs Thank you for watching and for your feedback!

@TheDiamondladyone Hi there! Thank you for watching and for your response. Congratulations on the point that you've reached on your PMHNP journey! I actually left the ED a few months ago as a PRN PMHNP d/t wanting to focus on other things. However, here the schedule is similar to a rotation that most clinicians have in hospital settings, which is 7 on and 7 off. As a PRN PMHNP, I was also to pick up 8-10 hours shifts a few times a month. Please let me know if you have more questions keep me updated on your journey! -Camellia D.

@@CamelliaDThePsychNP awesome!!!! Thanks and I’m excited to see where this journey takes me

@@TheDiamondladyone Absolutely!

@MyPMHNPJourney Thanks for sharing your perspective. I certainly understand the importance of business protection. On the other hand, it can seem limiting for those who want to explore and expand their career. However, I also understand that it can be hard to determine who has the company and patients' best interest at heart, and who will behave professionally.

@thenurseacademic Hi there! Thanks for watching! :)

@Test-zn9rs I normally use Genesight, although there are quite a few out there now. -Camellia

@berry1417 Thank you for your question and congratulations! As a new grad PMHNP, I would focus on connections made during clinicals, enhance your resume based on clinical experiences/psych experience, and speak directly to skills of a PMHNP during interviewing. Regarding your first job being in LTAC, I think that depends on the population that you want to work with. Obviously, in this setting, you will see adults only, and may see more older adults. I would say, if this is your preference, go for it! I hope this helps some. Feel free to ask more questions here or offline. I wish you the best on your journey, Camellia D.

@stefanie320 Hi there! Thank you for watching and subscribing! Great to have you here! Stay tuned and keep me updated on your journey! -Camellia D.

@antwanbell1694 Absolutely. Thanks for your feedback. :)

@rockgirlyoga3668 Hi! Congratulations! Thank you for your feedback and I'm very glad you found this helpful.. :) Best, -Camellia D.

@marginemarrero4272 Thank you for your question, as this is a good one. Technically you can, but I would look more closely at regulations around this for the state and with the DEA Rule changes. I foresee this becoming more challenging when you have to meet the DEA rule of seeing a patient in-person with prescribing controlled substances, when you are in another state.

@mccaroll78 W2 means that you are an employee of an organization versus a contractor. It can be full-time or part-time.

@nolroc Thank you for watching and for your feedback. There is definitely a lot to consider, and in my opinion, worth the wait to tease out what is best. Please feel free to hang around! I wish you the best on your journey and I'd love to know what you come up with! -Camellia D.

@saydabaquedano7264 Thank you for your question. For the PMHNP cert, you can only obtain it through the ANCC. This is different from an FNP cert, for which you can be certified by the ANCC or AANP. Does this answer your question? -Camellia

@@CamelliaDThePsychNP Thank you so much Camellia. Yes this answers my questions and is very straightforward. Too much confusing info about this on the internet.

@@saydabaquedano7264 No problem!

@nikxnoel Thank you for watching and for your feedback!

@daddyshome6990 Yes, the NP compact license has been a topic of discussion for quite some time. It will work similarly to the nurse compact license to allow NPs to work under one license in multiple states. The issue is getting more states on board. There should be more to follow about this in the near future.

@PokerDummyface1024 This is a great question. There aren't any states that I'm aware of that won't accept NPs or allow them to practice after graduation based on the school. I would check with your state board to ensure that your school will be recognized when you have to obtain approval from the board. This may also be at the discretion of the hiring organization. I hope this helps? -Cam D.

@cnic Thank you for your questions. I know pay is one of the most variable topics. It truly depends on the location. www.ziprecruiter.com/Salaries/Pmhnp-Salary may be a good place to get an idea. Pay for new grads may be slightly less or those that start higher, don't have much room to increase. Regarding telehealth, you will need to obtain a license in the state that you will be seeing patients. Also, seeing patients in-person is not always required or necessary prior to seeing patients by telehealth. This varies from organization to organization. I hope this helps? Please let me know what other questions you have. -Camellia D.

@cnic Hi there!

@cynthiafountain1479 Thank you for watching and for your question. Congratulations on the point you've reached thus far on your journey! Are you in an NP program? If so, FNP or PMHNP? Neurology and somatic experiences are definitely interesting. Although there are some pretty unique PMHNP roles, I can't think of anywhere these fields would intersect with psychiatry or one where a PMHNP's scope may fit. Maybe sleep medicine, although there are usually FNPs/ACNP in the field. In any setting, the role of the PMHNP includes assessment, diagnosis, treatment by medications and therapy, evaluation, education. I hope this somewhat answers your question. Please let me know what other questions come up and keep me updated on your journey. -Camellia D.

@@CamelliaDThePsychNP Thank you! This does answer my question. I was thinking that these areas probably fit the Acute Care Nurse Practitioner role. Perhaps in the future, I’ll pursue dual certification. However for now, I can only concentrate on one thing and that is completing PMHNP certification. Thank you again for your videos. They are so informative.

@@cynthiafountain1479 Great. I'm glad you've found the videos helpful. Feel free to hang around and ping me anytime! 😀 -Camellia D.

@MyPHNP Journey Thanks again! Yes, good one. I'll add this to this list! 😀

@Sara-xi6cn Great question! I know there are a few here that are attending/have attended Frontier. If I come across them again, I'll be sure to let you know. Also, you can also try to access student groups for Frontier on Facebook. Many have found that helpful to get answers to any questions you may have. Please keep me updated on your progress! -Camellia D.

@catherinenicholson77 Thanks for watching!

@MyPMHNP Journey Thank you! Yes, you must obtain your certification first, then a NPI provider number, which you will need when you apply for the DEA. I hope this helps!

@@CamelliaDThePsychNP Yes, thank you for the information. I assumed you could apply right after graduation and while preparing/taking board certification. This information certainly helps with planning!

@Rowenatrim2000 Thank you for watching and for your question. I used the process of first determining which schools offer PMHNP path, followed by narrowing down based on the questions/considerations mentioned in this video. NPschools.com is also a good resource to start. Please let me know what other questions come up along the way. -Camellia D.

@My PMHNP Journey Thank you for your feedback! Let's stay connected here.🙂

Yes, I can’t imagine not following you channel!!

@@MyPMHNPJourney Thank you!

@@MyPMHNPJourney Thank you! I've given you a follow as well! :)

@@CamelliaDThePsychNP thank you! Let’s grow together!

@Torri Taylor-Spencer First, congratulations! It sounds like you are off to some great things! I would say that the potential for burnout is obviously there, merely from the fact of being spread out by having multiple commitments. I advise to listen to what your body, mind, and your way of practice are telling you. In other words, if any of those things start to sway significantly away from your baseline, it may mean you are experiencing remnants of burnout. The best thing to consider while you are committing to these things is gauge when/where you have time to do "non-work related" things. I feel the same about inpatient, and slowly transitioned myself away from the ED since becoming a PMHNP. Fulfillment is also something I take seriously! Please keep me updated on your progress. I'd love to know how it goes for your private practice! :) -Camellia D.

@@CamelliaDThePsychNP thank you so much! I have 2 patients so far for my PP one found me organically and I'm seeing her weekly for now, my other one is a referral from a friend of mine who was managing for the past few yrs so that patient would most likely be a monthly visit. Very slow but I definitely love the freedom so far related not dealing with insurance and who control of my patients and how I want treat them or how long my visits are. (Currently offering 90 min evals and 30-60 min follow-ups.) I also have my husband who was a financial accountant and now a nurse helping a lot with the PP so I am sort of lucky there. I also can feel residential is one I may burn out from more quickly because it is more demanding in all aspects.

@@CamelliaDThePsychNP thank you so much, very helpful! I can foresee residential may not stick around for long but my support is invaluable (my boss is a child and adolescent psychiatrist) she is accessible whenever I need it, we get along well enough to work well together, her teaching style fits perfectly with my learning style in that she doesn't hover or handhold and teaches in a way that is easy for me to learn, retain, and apply in practice - straight from graduation she had me working independently 2 weeks later, so I will try to stick it but honestly outpatient telehealth and even the PHP is less stressful. There's always things going on with the kids and the pressure from therapists and insurance giving me "recommendations/their unhelpful thoughts", fighting with insurance for coverage, advocating for the kids with parents is probably the worst. The kids I honestly enjoy, just not everything else. My private practice I guess 'launched' (when I activated my PT today profile and my website) like a month ago. I have 2 patients so far, one found me organically and I see that patient weekly (child). The other patient was 'passed' to me by a friend of mine who treated the patient in a diff state, the patient is moving to my state and just needs continued management so will most likely turn into monthly visits. It's slow, I'm learning as I go and have been enjoying the process thus far. I love the freedom and autonomy and no stress for now. I do have my hubby who was a financial accountant and now nurse helping alot with the PP so that takes a huge load off as well. Overhead is pretty low since I was already paying for alot of the things anyway for my 1099.

@@torritaylor-spencer3101 I totally get it. Nothing trumps a supportive supervising MD! It looks like you are well on your way to establish a career that aligns with your desires/needs! What state are you in, may I ask? And the name of your practice? (can send it to me offline if you'd like). I always like to support and have a pocket of resources in various states as needs come up. :)

@Objectively Bias Thanks for your response. It appears that you have a great opportunity at hand. Unfortunately, specific types of positions may vary based on geographical location. I'd love to hear what you come up with on your journey! -Camellia D.

@Hi1027 Thank you for watching! Yes, you want to be cautious. I'm glad you are doing your due diligence here. A few schools that I know of are: Univ of South Alabama, Vanderbilt University, Eastern Kentucky University. Npschools.com may also be a good resource. You can also join social media PMHNP groups such as Facebook and ask active students in various programs. I hope this helps. I'd love to hear what you come up with! Stay in touch, -Camellia D.
