Becoming a PMHNP: My Journey to a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

Shanira | Psych NP on TikTok

I had a mentor early in my career as a psych NP who taught me to make one medication adjustment at a time with my patients, especially if I’m de-prescribing. This allows us to control more variables and avoid being confused when a patient’s presentation shifts significantly.
