MSN Nursing Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
The Master of Science in Nursing Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) program is a hybrid master’s degree that prepares post-baccalaureate registered nurses to provide high quality psychiatric and mental healthcare for patients across the lifespan in a variety of settings. Graduates of this program will be prepared to work in a rapidly changing field of mental health to provide effective care utilizing evidence-based practice for a growing population with mental and behavioral health needs.
The MSN-Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) program is a 40-credit hour lockstep program in which Registered Nurses with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree advance their skills to the entry level for certification as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and apply for licensure as an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse. Instruction will be an online format with required on campus learning intensives typically scheduled two times per semester at the St. David’s School of Nursing in Round Rock. The on-campus learning intensives augment the online course work and allow assessment of students to ensure that advanced level competencies have been met.
Faculty facilitate practicum course work online and during the on-campus intensives through skills labs and simulations; however, required clinical hours will be spent with individual preceptors in a clinical setting. The curriculum requires students to complete hours with a preceptor and log 605 required clinical hours as a combination of on-campus clinical experiences, simulations, and preceptor-led clinical practicum hours.
The MSN-PMHNP program prepares graduates to assume a healthcare provider role as an advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) to provide healthcare for clients across the lifespan with psychiatric and mental healthcare needs. The MSN-PMHNP program prepares graduates to assess, diagnose, and provide clinical management through psychotherapy, psychopharmacology, and collaborative interventions to facilitate wellness and treatments for clients and their families in a variety of settings.
