RN-PMHNP without BSN

Hello AN,

Anyone took this route?

How long was the program?

How did you like the school?

Thanks in advance

Do you mean an NP program for PMHNP for a direct-entry masters' program? To my knowledge there is no BSN level Psych path. Your question is very unclear.

I mean going from an ADN to a PMHNP bridge program not the direct route sorry...

Which schools have such a program?

Specializes in Psych/Mental Health.

Many schools offer this option. ADN grads will need to take courses to meet the requirement for a BSN, then move onto the NP program. How long it takes will depend on the student. Some students already have a bachelor and went back for a ADN, so they won't need to take general ed courses and only need to take BSN nursing courses. In that case, it'll take probably 1-2 semesters. Students who have an ADN only will probably need to take more courses and spend more time.

Financially, it might be better to go for a RN-to-BSN program first because there are really cheap ones out there online, then apply to a NP program. If you take undergrad courses within a graduate program, the costs might be very high.

Other than Frontier, I'd really love to know which schools have this program online?
