Letters of Recommendation
Choose individuals who can speak to your academic abilities, clinical skills, and potential for success in the field of psychiatric nursing. These individuals should have worked closely with you and can provide specific examples of your strengths and potential for growth.
When requesting letters of recommendation, provide your recommenders with information about the program and your career aspirations. This will help them tailor their letters to highlight the qualities and experiences that are most relevant to your pursuit of a career as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner.
Interview Preparation
If you are invited for an interview as part of the application process, it is essential to prepare thoroughly. Research common interview questions for psychiatric nursing programs and reflect on your experiences and motivations in light of these questions.
