thank you for the update. good luck on finding a preceptor and I wish you all the best.

have you found any programs promising? any updates? I'm thinking of getting a pmhnp certificate as well

I plan on getting my PMHNP but will be working full time as an FNP. Do you know of any online/distance learning program that offers it at a very part time pace? Like 1 class a quarter? I don't mind finishing it in 3-4 years. Thanks!

just replying to see if anybody has done this. thanks

are you an FNP who decided to get a certificate for PMHNP? Are you doing the program now? I'd love to hear your thoughts/experience since I'm thinking of doing the same. Thanks!
