Wayne State University for NP

[laladeedee]

Hi ,

I know that recently Wayne State got rid of their acute care NP programs and now have DNP programs. But, on their website, they still have listed "psychiatric mental health CNS/NP" as a program, and it doesn't list work experience as a requirement. I'm confused, has anyone have any idea?

I really want to do the NP program however, they all require work experience first, and it's hard to even find a nursing job in the city I live in.

Let me know if any of you have gone there for this program or any other info

thanks

You should arrange to meet with faculty. I know WSU has informational meetings for all their programs and directors are present to answer questions from prospective students. I went there for ACNP.

The College may also not have updated the information on their website. It's been years and I've lost track of the students I knew in the PMHNP track (there weren't a lot of them to begin with). I also worked with a PMHNP graduate from there while I was a nurse in the ER but that was way back in 2001.

PMHNP is not an option widely available in Michigan. Wayne State still offers it as a master's option but it looks like the other option is a DNP at the University of Michigan-Flint.
