Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner jobs (also called PMHNP jobs) require a dedication to providing advanced treatment to patients who have psychiatric disorders and/or substance abuse problems.

But, as you know, psych NP jobs are not just about treating a person’s physical condition; the effects of psychiatric issues are far-reaching. Compared to people who don’t have a mental illness:

Adults with depression are at greater risk for cardiovascular and metabolic diseases.
People who have a mental illness are more likely to be unemployed.
High school students with significant depression are more likely to drop out of school.

Now is a great time to look for psychiatric nurse practitioner jobs, as the NP profession is expected to grow by 46% over the next decade — an enormous increase that is much faster than the average for all other occupations. Credenza has a range of full-time, part-time, contract, temporary, and per diem positions.

Education and Skills for PMHNP Jobs

The steps required to become a PMHNP begins by earning a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree and passing the NCLEX-RN exam. After passing, you can apply for RN licensure with your state board of nursing. Some accredited PMHNP programs may require you to have a few years of clinical nursing experience before you are eligible to enroll.

You then have two options: Earn a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) or a Doctorate of Nursing Practice (DNP). Either way, you will need to work 500 faculty-supervised hours before you can sit for the Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner board certification (PMHNP-BC) examination. Once you have met all of your state’s requirements, you may apply for advanced licensure and begin searching for psych nurse practitioner jobs.
