Looking for an NP pharmacy course for Rx

Published

Aloha:

I have been an APRN,BC (adult mental health NP) for the last 16 years). I have just completed my PhD in clinical psychology, and am interested in getting my Rx. Does anyone know of a reasonable priced pharm course I could use to get my Rx? I looked at University of Phoenix, but they wanted $1800 for the course.

Thanks.

What exactly do you mean...you want your Rx? :confused:

Specializes in Nephrology, Cardiology, ER, ICU.

Some states (Ca comes to mind) says you need a special pharm course in order to prescribe. It has to be renewed periodically. I did a 50 hours pharm course in Las Vegas in 2007:
