As a nurse, you understand that sometimes the most serious wounds are ones we can’t see. And you’re committed to caring for not only the physical health of the patients you serve, but also their emotional well-being. With an online Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) Post-Master’s Certificate from Duquesne University, you can enhance your ability to provide compassionate care for people with issues such as mental illness and substance abuse. Through this program, you can develop the skills to assess mental health, diagnose conditions and provide primary care services for populations of all ages and backgrounds. This program is designed for working professionals to complete in as few as 2.5 years and can prepare you for the PMHNP-BC certification exam. There is a growing need for psychiatric mental-health nurse practitioners, and you can be part of the solution. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration reports that nearly 1 in 5 Americans has a mental health condition. At the same time, 111 million people live in areas where there is a shortage of mental health professionals, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
