Currently a psych major trying to figure things out. I came across the profession of psychiatric nurse practitioner. Any advice for those going in that route?

Work as a psych nurse (inpatient) and learn how things go wrong. Learn about what it like when the drugs aren’t right before planning to take some classes and prescribe them.
Work as a psych tech (inpatient hospital) to get direct experience.
Learn to be a competent nurse, you have to treat the whole person. Get enough experience to realize which psych meds are contraindicated with someone’s heart medication.

I would suggest finding out if you have to pay for a clinical site. In CA some programs make one pay a seperate fee in able get a clinical site to get their hours . I’m not sure the process but from what I’ve heard it’s a stumbling block an a very costly added expense .
