This dual option provides students the opportunity to earn a Post-Masters Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Certificate and Doctor of Nursing Practice simultaneously. The Post-Masters Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Certificate and Doctor of Nursing Practice combined option provides a solid academic and practical foundation for master’s prepared nurses without current certification as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.
The Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Certificate is designed to prepare graduates to provide comprehensive mental health services to diverse populations across the lifespan. The program combines theory, practice, and therapeutic interventions to promote the highest level of care. Upon completion of the post-master certificate, students will be eligible for Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner national certification through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) or the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners Certification Board (AANPCB).
The Doctor of Nursing Practice program is designed for nurses who hold a master’s degree in nursing and offers an educational pathway to earn the highest clinically focused doctoral degree in nursing. Upon completion of the Doctor of Nursing Practice Program, students will possess forward-thinking clinical and systems leadership skills to promote the application of evidence-based practice to address the nation’s increasingly complex healthcare needs.
