At Frontier Nursing University, we’re proud to be innovators in the graduate nursing education space enabling nurses everywhere to realize their dream and achieve a rewarding career. But the field of nursing offers many unique specialties, and for students interested in using their careers to promote mental health and wellness, becoming a psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner offers an excellent option.
We’re proud to offer a world-class Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) program that makes it easy for certified Nurse-Midwives, Nurse Practitioners, and RNs with associate’s or bachelor’s degrees to get the education they need to succeed in this field on their own time.
Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Program Options
Every student is different – and that’s why we’re proud to offer a range of options in our PMHNP program. No matter what field or level of education you’re coming from, we offer a flexible path to certification as a psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner.
Post-Graduate Certification
Our Post-Graduate Certification (PGC) program is an excellent choice for current Nurse Practitioners or Nurse-Midwives who wish to add a certification in psychiatric-mental health nursing. In this 32-credit, 18-month program you’ll get the hands-on learning and experience to thrive as a psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner and receive a post-graduate certificate, making you eligible for the national certification exam as a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. From there, we offer the option to seamlessly continue your studies and earn a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree without needing to reapply.
MSN Specialty Track
For RNs with a bachelor’s or associate’s degree, the PMHNP specialty track in our Master of Science in Nursing program is now taking applications. Completing the program makes you eligible for the national PMHNP certification exam, and you still have the option to seamlessly continue your studies and earn a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree.
