Article creation

I know this page is a little sloppy, however, since there was no pages dedicated to this topic I thought I might as well start one. This is actually based off a short research project I had to do for a class. I'm not very experienced at the Wiki, so please, clean it up, fix it, add to it, whatever! I'd love to see more information posted about this path. There is a lot of information out there for it, but its spread all over the place. Wiki has a page on Nurse Practitioners, but it doesn't go into much detail about the specialties, which are almost as vast as the MD's. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by MWJamesLDS (talk • contribs) 00:27, 10 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Great stuff, I removed the sentence you used in first person. I added a link to Psychiatric and mental health nursing at the topic because these articles are so closely related. I also wikified per your request. Thanks for using references! Chupper 02:58, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Worldwide view

If anyone could cleanup this article to give it a more worldwide view it would be appreciated. Thanks! Chupper 02:58, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Capital letters in title

I think that the title of this article needs to be: Psychiatric and mental health nurse practitioner. The current capitalization format looks rather untidy and does not necessarily comply with Wikipedia:Manual of Style (capital letters). It is worth noting that the nurse practitioner article has a lower-case p, although the capitalization is far from consistent in the article. --Vince 10:08, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, and have made the change. WhatamIdoing (talk) 19:01, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Salary

The comparison with Psychiatrists in the salary section seems unnecessary. Is it not enough to simply highlight the average salary of the pmhnp? The comparison seems argumentative.

The salary section really doesn't need to have the psychiatrist salary. Why not just leave that out?--Mcjack70 (talk) 23:16, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm taking out the psychiatrist salary section based on discussion here. --71.237.130.100 (talk) 23:52, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

I've taken a stab at tightening the lead a little, reformatting it to reflect the updated article title and respect the usual conventions. Avoided the use of 'absolutely' in an attempt to preserve neutral POV. I don't think it's there yet, but better at least. Comments welcome. Basie (talk) 12:23, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Practice Settings

I think that this article could use different practices or work settings you could find a psychiatric nurse practitioner in. Maybe it could be changed to include information as to what types of places one could work at if trying to become a psychiatric nurse practitioner. --Booklover30 (talk) 20:58, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Questionable salary infomation

I feel the salary section may need a rewrite or an update at a minimum. All but one of the current sources on salary seem to ultimately reference back to BLS, which only gives overall NP salary and not a PMHNP salary specifically. The exception is the NurseJournal source, which references back to PayScale (which may not be a reliable source itself because it relies in part on "crowdsourced data" and a "set of proprietary algorithms"). I found a Medscape article from 3 December 2021 which lists a PMHNP specific salary based on Medscape's own survey (https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/964081), which I feel is more accurate. Anyone have an opinion on this? Wikipedialuva (talk) 09:36, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
