My Journey To Becoming A Psych Nurse Practitioner! RN, BSN,MSN, PMHNP

  • This is my journey from my Bachelors in Psychology to RN to BSN to MSN/PMHNP (psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner). I've always had a love for mental health but after undergrad, I was making more money in the position I was in than those that I could get with my degree in psychology. For years I stayed in that position until I decided to pursue nursing school. Although nursing was my other love, I still was not fulfilled. That lead me to go BACK to school to combine my love for nursing and my love for mental health and now you have Angel The Psych NP! I genuinely care about people physically and mentally and I am so excited to finally share what I have learned and experienced so we can all grow!

    Finally a black woman who is a PMHNP on the tube!!!!! This video just gave me so much motivation!!!! You realize what so many people fail to and that's the stigma placed on the psychiatric population!!!! Thank you for this content! Three more semesters and I will also be graduating as a psychiatric nurse practitioner💙

      I’m hoping to start my PMHNP program soon. Psych was my favorite during my BSN program. I’ve battled with depression all my life, however, after admitting my 14 yr old son to an inpatient psych facility, I know it’s my calling now. Thank you for this video. It’s good to see another sister talking about mental health.

      As a white woman, I want to lend my voice of support to the Black women who are stepping into roles within psychiatric nursing. I’m so glad for your wisdom and expertise, and that you can bring representation to the community, to the patients, and to (hopefully) upper management.

    I have been a Psych RN for the last 3 years of my 15 year nursing career and I’ve been trying to convince myself to move forward on that PMHNP journey for almost a year. I had just told my co-worker last night that I wish God would send me confirmation and BOOM this video pops up. WON’T HE DO IT!!! I’m excited to get started. Keep those videos coming and congrats on all your accomplishments. 😊

    I’ve had friends with schizophrenia and I always sit with them and listen. Ask them questions if you’re not sure and be respectful. It’s important to understand that even if they are seeing hearing or feeling things not actually real to us, it is very much so real to them and you should never tell them it’s just in their head. Chances are they know already and are struggling to cope. Everyone deserves to feel heard.

I want to make sure that they feel mentally safe and know that they are going to get the help they are looking for. Then i would proceed to ask them personal questions about the hallucinations, voices in their heads, etc.

    Im soo intrigued and driven and so motivated by your strength in your power u are a super women made me feel soo good about my Journey I’m currently a LPNs with 4 month too go single mom of two beautiful girl I worked as a state tested nursing assistant for 14 years 4 year on psych I’m 31 years old and I want to be a nurse practitioner so bad and I love psych I love listening to people talking to people trying to help them get through the pain and fears it my calling like I have too one day . but I’m scared that I won’t be able to do it the Journey is so hard and I don’t want to fail.
    And to answer your question about the friend? I would ask them too talk too me about the voices that there hearing maybe we can learn to do some type of meditation together breathing exercises. Too work on drifting the voices out of there head. But to actually too know that answer a good psych actually would have to learn their patients over time it could be drugs Involved trauma involved the pt could be schizophrenic.

    If the homie was like yo! I'm hearing voices, I would give them the serious look to let them know I understand the depth of what they just told me. Then anything from a session to brunch would be what I use to try to get them to talk about it . Then I'll decide if they too crazy to still be my friend 🤷🏾‍♀️

      If some is hearing voices trying to get them to open up and talk to you is a start! It’s better than “man you tripping” But they more than likely will require some interventions thru medicine! But don’t stop being their friend if it turns out that they need more help than you can assist with 🤦🏾‍♀️.. take them to the nearest crisis center and then follow up to make sure they are getting the help they need 🤗

    I am a registered nurse with 7 years of experience. I hold an Associates of Science in Nursing. My initial aspiration was to become a nurse anesthetist, but that goal has faded due to my responsibilities as a single mother of three. The majority of my experience lies in the ICU. A keen interest in mental health has grown within me, driven by diagnoses that run in my family. Pursuing this passion, I embarked on a journey to earn my bachelor’s degree in psychology; I have only 10 classes remaining. It came as a surprise that a nursing bachelor’s is a requirement for becoming a nurse practitioner. Additionally, I derive great joy from delving into the intricacies of science at the cellular level. Do you think it’s pointless to continue to pursue the bachelors degree?

    • @angelthepsychnp253
      @angelthepsychnp253  Před 10 měsíci

      Unfortunately the bachelors in psychology won’t help you at all other than knowledge towards becoming a PMHNP.. you will need the bachelors in science of nursing.. I have a bachelors in psychology as well that I have never used..and has not helped me as far as the advancement of my nursing career..yoh are so closed to obtaining that degree so I don’t want to advise against it.. that has to be a personal decision.. but you need a BSN to get to the masters of nursing (PMHNP)

    I don’t know if you’ll see this! I’m 28 with 3 children. I was working towards lpc because I felt it was too much to do psychiatry. So I pivoted again after researching about NPs. I am absolutely in love with this idea because I thought this was a dream I had to give up. ( I had to drop out of college and take care of my siblings and mother after my dad passed) However, I wonder if I’m too old at 28. I’m only 4 short of my prerequisites for my BSN.
    Do you think it’s too late? Will anyone hire a new psych NP who is 33 or 34?
