A Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) is an advanced practice nurse that seeks to improve mental health care and the overall health status of communities. With a focus on lifetime care for individuals, PMHNPs are committed to promoting mental health through assessment, diagnosis and treatment of behavioral problems, mental disorders and comorbid conditions.
Frontier Nursing University’s Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program allows you to specialize as a psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner. Upon completing the MSN curriculum, you have the option to transition to the Companion Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program via a direct admission process.
