PHMNP programs that REQUIRE work experience

Hi! In the next couple of years, I am interested in applying to a PMHNP program. I am currently working in inpatient psych. Is there a list that exists somewhere of PMHNP programs that actually DO require psych RN work experience? My hunch is that this would guarantee a certain standard of quality in the program and among classmates. No shade intended towards those exceptional PMHNP students without this work experience. I am located in the Washington, D.C. area, but I'm open to online programs elsewhere in the country. I have noticed that Univ of Maryland School of Nursing requires two years of Psych RN experience at the time of application to its DNP program. Marymount requires one year of any acute care nursing experience before the first day of its MSN program. My overall preference is for an MSN program. Does anyone have any other leads? I'll accept leads for both MSN and DNP.
