Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner Program
The Masters in Nursing – Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner Program Online focuses on the care of patients who suffer from mental illness or are experiencing abnormal mental states. This program will prepare you to treat and diagnose these patients through education and counseling. Nurses drawn to this specialty are interested in the human mind and improving the quality of life for their patients with preventative care, treatment, and management of acute and chronic illnesses. They work in a variety of hospital, clinical, and community settings. Psychiatric nurses also use advanced clinical skills and diagnostic reasoning to perform their duties, often combining research, patient education, and leadership into their work. The Psychiatric specialty at UC offers both a Nurse Practitioner and a Clinical Nurse Specialist path, with the ability to focus on adults (in either path) or children (with the CNS only). An online Psychiatric nursing program with a focus on either adults or children and adolescents is unique. But coupled with the opportunity to specialize as either a CNS or NP (depending on individual state practice acts) makes UC’s program one-of-a-kind.
