The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) at Pacific Lutheran University is still accepting applications for the Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) program.
The PLU DNP program, which prepares graduates in the advanced-practice specialty concentrations of Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), has been ranked as one of the top 120 graduate nursing programs in the United States by U.S. News and World Report.
Both the PMHNP and FNP program are designed to meet the demand for additional advanced practice providers in the region and state. The program qualifies students to sit for national certification examinations, making them eligible under Washington State law for Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner (ARNP) licensure. In the State of Washington, ARNPs have independent practice and prescribing authority.
The PLU difference:
- PLU is known for its high quality nursing education.
- Cohort sizes are small to ensure a high quality, personable PLU experience.
- All clinical placements are arranged by the PLU faculty.
- There are full-time and a part-time option for nurses with either a BSN or master’s in nursing for the FNP and the PMHNP program.
