Becoming a Psychiatric Nurse Practictioner with a Non-Nursing Degree?

Hi! Is there anyone who has gotten their BSN or MSN with a non-nursing degree? Can you share your experience? I've seen that Columbia and NYU have MSN programs for non-nursing degrees.

I'm a rising senior in high school and I think I'll pursue a psychology degree in college, then apply to a MSN program for non-nursing degree to become a PMHNP. Is this the way to go?

Hello,
Mental health is in serious demand in our society. Nurses can continue their education beyond a bachelor's degree. Some nurses achieve a masters level while others equivalent to a ph.d. to become nurse practitioners. Nurse practitioners can specialize in so many areas. Psychiatric nursing, orthopedic, nurse anesthetist, etc are just a few. The demand is high, respect high, and pay is good.
