Anyone do an online PMHNP Post-Master's?

Published

Wondering if anyone did an online psych mental health NP post-master's certificate and if so, do you think online was the way go to? I am an adult-gero primary care NP thinking about doing a post-master's PMHNP (wish I had thought of this before it became a lifespan specialty, but oh well!). Doing the courses online has an attraction, since I have an active clinical practice as an AGPCNP. If you wouldn't mind telling me which program you attended, that would be lovely and very useful. Thanks!

I too am in your position. The University of South Alabama (USA) has an online program with Family Psych. It's a pretty good school, I did my undergrad nursing their. I am NC and NC has strict guidelines governed by the UNC Board of Governors, luckily, USA made the cut, so I do plan on attending within the next year.

I went through Rush University but it is now a DNP program. I started while living in Bangladesh and Thailand. Did some clinical in Okinawa and came to Texas to finish up.

Thank you for that!

Zenman, do you practice as a PMHNP now? If so, did you feel like your program prepared you (as well as any of them can prepare us for actual practice, that is!).

Specializes in Psychiatry.

@BeautynBrains_RN, have you started the program at USA yet? please let me know how it is.

Are psych NP allowed to do neuropsych evaluations and will they get reimbursed?
