Discussion Question
I have decided to focus on Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) during my graduate-level nursing studies (MSN). This choice has been motivated by a mix of personal interests and professional aspirations consistent with my objectives for advanced practice nursing. When choosing this specialty, I carefully considered all of the MSN program’s alternatives, which presented some obstacles. My choice to become a PMHNP was ultimately influenced by my desire to promote mental health and well-being and the rising need for mental health services.
The American Psychiatric Nurses Association (APNA) is one of the organizations for professionals connected to the Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner specialty. APNA is an excellent resource.
