Many psychiatric nurse practitioners enter the field feeling unprepared, overextended, and unsure how to build a sustainable career in mental health care. In this episode, Dr. Lindsay Hill talks about the challenges new and transitioning psych NPs face, including the lack of structured mentorship, the emotional weight of patient care, and the pressure to follow traditional career paths that often lead to burnout.
Lindsay shares how her own journey through corporate mental health settings, new parenthood, and a traumatic injury pushed her to rethink what a healthy professional life could look like. She explains how private practice, diversified income streams, and intentional lifestyle design became the foundation for the Psych NP Bootcamp and the growing community she leads today.
In This Episode, We Cover:
- Building clinical confidence in a field without standardized residency training.
- The realities of burnout in community mental health and corporate settings.
- How lifestyle goals can guide decisions about practice structure and income streams.
- Practical gaps between NP school and real-world psychiatric practice.
- The value of mentorship, transition support, and structured clinical guidance.
- How psych NPs are using technology and AI tools to streamline documentation.
- Why visibility, marketing, and diversified revenue can help prevent long-term burnout.
