Introduction
The Hunter-Bellevue School of Nursing offers a 48-credit master of science (MS) program to prepare nurses for roles as advanced practice registered nurses delivering psychiatric and mental health services. Psychiatric/mental health nurse practitioners provide mental health treatment, preventive services, consultation, and leadership in hospitals, clinics, community settings, and private practice. Through coursework and 630 hours of supervised clinical experience, students learn to provide these services autonomously and collaborate with other mental health professionals.
Graduates of this program are eligible for New York State NP certification and meet the American Nurses Credentialing Center's educational requirements for national board certification. The program includes core courses in nursing and specialization courses that combine advanced knowledge with 630 hours of supervised clinical experience.
