A Day in the Life of a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner: My Private Practice Journey

Join Alysha, a psychiatric nurse practitioner and private practice owner, as she walks you through a typical day in her life. She starts her clinical days around 10 or 11 AM, attends a lunch meeting with a pharmaceutical representative, and spends time educating her nurse practitioner students. She explains the importance of staying updated with new medications and outlines her patient care approach, which includes medication management. She also shares how she keeps her clinical load manageable by operating a cash-based practice, allowing her to spend ample time with each patient and handle professional responsibilities.
