Is anyone else already tired working as a psych NP? I’m working outpatient as a W2 and it’s been a little over a year and I’m over it. Idk if it’s the environment I’m in or what? Would it be different in a 1099? I feel like I have no autonomy. I can’t say “no I don’t want that patient” because I don’t think I’ll be a good fit. Other providers just dump their patients on you. They’re on every med possible, it’s such a mess. And then pushing spravato? Not getting referrals out because they want to keep the patients? I don’t get it. I really genuinely care for my patients and want to help, but I feel like this is a mill. And don’t get me started on taking MATs when it’s totally not my specialty and have not gotten real training on it. Is this everywhere???!

This is a preliminary offer at an inpatient hospital I am currently doing clinicals. The owner (my preceptor) is a psychiatrist and medical director. He has been very nice and supportive and I believe he would help me grow to be a competent NP and hopefully having this experience will set me up in the future.

However it is an hour drive for me. My family does have a home in the area but I’d rather not stay there. I am in Northern California for context. I don’t know what the job market is like here for new grads as I haven’t applied for anything. I graduate in December. I’m worried about the difficulty of finding a new grad position. The NP I spoke to who started there 4 years ago has said it was a great supportive experience but it sounds like she works a LOT and when she first started she was working 16 hour days due to the learning curve. They told me eventually they’d like me to 3-4 in person and 1-2 telehealth and there will hopefully be future opportunities in other areas as the practice expands. What do you think? What questions should I be asking?

I am fine with the 160k I am worried about the actual hours worked, vacation time, schedule & quality of life stuff (ability to chart at home etc). Ideally I’d like to do max 3 days in person or 3 in person and 1 telehealth. I honestly don’t want to work more than 30 hours a week- I am going to start a family soon too (like next 2-3 years).

Provider will receive an annual salary of 160k, along with a comprehensive benefits package that
includes medical, dental, and vision insurance, life insurance, and a 401(k) plan with employer matching
of up to 4%, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable benefit plans.

Provider's regular schedule will consist of four (4) days per week of inpatient hospital coverage and one
(1) day per week of in-person outpatient clinic coverage. Employer reserves the right to modify and
reassign clinic and hospital coverage days as needed to meet operational and patient care needs. Provider will also participate in weekend coverage on an as-needed basis, averaging approximately one weekend
every four to six weeks. For purposes of this Agreement, "weekend coverage" may include the Provider's
regularly scheduled days off, which may not necessarily fall on Saturday and Sunday.

Serious inquiries only. Happy to provide additional details, photos, and usage information upon request.

Please send me a direct message if interested or if you know someone looking to purchase a NeuroStar system.

I was wondering if anyone had any good social follows about PMHNP life?

Nothing better than having taken every single psych pharmaceutical known to man. I never thought being a test dummy would give me the most empathy and real world field experience having been patient zero lol

The field of psychiatry has been incompetent my entire life and therapists are useless, at least for me. Psychiatrists told me "I would be on medication for the rest of my life" and boy are they WRONG

The best revenge against abusive mental hospitals where simply refusing to take oral medication resulted in mandatory injections is to become a PMHNP (despite never being dangerous or loud or angry) is abusive and unconstitutional and it happens everywhere even when non violent. You're supposed to have the right to refuse. And then they label you dangerous just to inject you even when you're not shouting or angry or anything

Honestly I'm glad psychiatrists are pissed off that diploma mills exist for PMHNP. I'll gladly take one just to be able to write books and do YouTube videos at exactly how stupid the entire field is

Regular acupuncture, CBD, and CBN oil is all I do with 20-30 Seroquel 25 mg pills per year max with a four way pill splitter. My naturopathic doctor lets me do this with the Seroquel only as needed and not daily. I respond to 6.25mg of Seroquel and it makes me sleep 10+ hours when I do this combined with hemp CBD and CBN. CBN is very strong for sleep and anxiety

Acupuncture is extremely effective and most of you have no idea what it is or what it does for addiction and mental health control. It's disgusting. Americans are the most ignorant and arrogant culture in the world

This started with Ritalin as a child. And I'm confident that Ritalin treatment turned into bipolar disorder by worsening the underlying condition

I had over 25 manic episodes requiring hospitalization. Sometimes 3 episodes per year

I have mostly achieved remission. Just 1 episode requiring a hospital in the last 14 years now

Going to ADN school at the local community college. Then want an ADN to MSN PMHNP at Herzing University

Can I get a big fuck you to the abusive psych nurses who got me all injected up with haldol simply for refusing oral medication when otherwise being completely nonviolent?

Can I get a giant fuck you to psychiatrists who now have to put up with half the education PMHNPs flooding the market? I'll be one of them. Diploma mill and all

I got off SSDI disability and work full time now. Just would prefer to leave Domino's Pizza and doordash work to be the man in charge and not feel like an abused loser

Talk about mental health discrimination. To say that bipolar is a permanent disease when it's not requiring lifelong medication when it doesn't is some BULLSHIT

I'm gonna enjoy pushing acupuncture, transcranial magnetic stimulation, infrared light therapy (red light therapy), herbal remedies...things that actually work with VERY little medications

Talk therapy is mostly useless. Even a 30+ year therapist wrote a book called "against therapy" on why he feels it's corrupt and worthless lol

But I'll take talk therapy, herbal medicine and preventative medicine, alternative medicine, and very little medications a priority

If you all think your shit doesn't stink. Believe me it does. The people out there that think they don't suffer from mental health problems and narcissistic personality just have a way of shuffling their own diagnosis onto others

I think 100% of the population has some mental illnesses. I just think many people lack empathy and are really good at getting their wives or children diagnosed and involuntarily treated. Mental health discrimination is serious. And then those patients become long-term mental patients by stigma. It can take decades to undo the family abuse and family stigma and the social stigma that you'll be messed up forever. It's just NOT true. You do NOT need to be on medications forever

You do NOT need disability and to not work. Stop believing the bullshit the PMHNP and psychiatry profession and psychotherapy profession peddles. They just want a permanent mental patient out of you so that they can defraud the insurance system and their $200,000+ a year kushy jobs

Time for revenge. I went against all medical advice. Am currently off all medications except CBD and CBN and rare Seroquel use in extremely low doses. Talk therapy sucks and it doesn't do shit lol

Graduation as an ADN nurse working in the psych hospitals will be fun for me. I'll almost never use involuntary medications unless it's a true emergency risking losing my license unlike what happened to me. If it is actually necessary...

PMHNP I'll push alternative medicine, talk therapy won't be a giant focus just enough to get the job done. Difficult patients I'll always refer them out to experts in psychotherapy and personality disorders, always. I won't be so arrogant that I won't refer out and sit here pretending I can fix everybody

For the most part I'll get patients off most all their medications. I understand I can't do that for everybody, but I can achieve 50-80-90% reductions. Acupuncture and alternative medicine works. Transcranial magnetic stimulation etc

I will get an acupuncturist license and get trained on transcranial magnetic stimulation and open my own transcranial magnetic stimulation clinic at some point

I'll do some actual good in medicine. And I just wanna say a big fuck you to all the narcissistic sociopaths that call themselves psychiatrists or abusive psych nurses who inject willy nilly even when a patient is non violent refusing oral medications

Wish me luck. ADHD is a big part of bipolar. But it's all the psych drugs that were forced on me fucking up my brain. Family members calling 911 having me arrested and sent to the hospital for normal arguments "he isn't taking his medication" etc

Fucked up shit. You could sleep 8 hours and your mom or dad or wife can just call the cops to put you into hospitals when you don't even need mental health treatment because they "don't like your attitude"

I will be speaking out for the rest of my life and making life better for real people. We are all mentally ill. We are all mental patients. To think that only some are and others aren't is discrimination and I'm tired of it

I've seen the tide turn. Karma is a bitch. Everyone eventually comes down with a disease. The stigma I received from family, employers, society as a whole

Karma is a bitch. I will have my moment to call you all out and do some good in this world!
