I am curious, I am looking to go back to school. I currently hold a PhD in psych but want to be an Psych Nurse Practitioner. Does anyone know a faster route or alternate route of going through an LVN bridge to RN to FNP in Psych? Is there a way to use by PhD to get into an FNP/psych program without having my RN license first? What does an RN certificate program do? I am trying to make a fast transition. Thank you in advance for any input :)
