Will i be able to work with family and clinial mental health patients in the hospital setting ? Like get paid to treat and diagnose families while seeing mentally ill patients in the hospital .... Or if not can I do doctorate of Family nurse practitioner with a nursing leadership certificate to one day manage all nurses .

Sincerely

    NP education is focused on treating patients, but the type of services that NPs provide is dictated by each state's Nurse Practice Act. In some states, NPs must work with a supervising physician. NP education is very specific in terms of the patient population that they are permitted to work with. Family NPs (FNP) are prepared to serve as a primary care provider (ambulatory care) - not to provide services in a hospital. You would need to explore the practice options for Psych NPs in your state.

    NP education does not include the level of administrative/business education required to function as a healthcare executive. NPs who wish to move into these roles would need to obtain additional qualifications via formal education or experience. Chief Nursing Officer positions usually require a significant business/finance background and extensive experience in addition to MSN credentials.
