Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Track

Responding to the mental health care needs of the community, La Salle University School of Nursing and Health Sciences is proud to announce the addition of the Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) Program to our Graduate Nursing Programs. The MSN PMHNP Program will begin Summer 2019. The start date for the Post-MSN PMHNP certificate program to be announced soon.

The Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Program prepares nurse practitioner students to provide a full range of mental health services to clients across the life span. This specialty emphasizes prevention, diagnosis, and management of both acute episodic and chronic mental illnesses. Although not setting specific, clinical rotations will primarily occur in in-patient, outpatient, and community residential settings.

Upon graduation, students will become eligible to take the Psychiatric National Certification Exam and seek state certification and employment as an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse with prescriptive authority. New graduates will become valuable mental health care providers and interdisciplinary team members as well as helping to meet the unique needs of the population.

This track requires a total of 704 clinical hours. The clinical experiences are in NUR 657, NUR 658, NUR 6659. (46 credits)
