Using14×10⁶ psi(2S) events collected with the Beijing Spectrometer (BESII) atthe Beijing Electron-Positron Collider, the branching fractions of psi(2S) decaysto p[overline n]pi^- and [overline p]npi⁺ and the branching fractions of themain background channels psi(2S)-->p[overline n]pi^-pi⁰, psi(2S)-->gammachi_c0-->gammap[overline n]pi^-, psi(2S)-->gammachi_c2-->gammap[overline n]pi^-, and psi(2S)-->gammachi_cJ-->gammap[overline n]pi^-pi⁰ are determined.The contributions of the N^* resonances in psi(2S)-->p[overline n]pi^-+c.c. are alsodiscussed.
