Overview

We offer two tracks to reach your educational and professional goals of becoming a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMNHP). You can choose to either complete only the Master of Science in Nursing (MSN)-PMNHP or continue on to the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP)-Executive Leadership degree.

The advantage to Edgewood University’s program structure is that after receiving the MSN-PMHNP, you can seek certification and work in that capacity while continuing on with your doctoral level coursework to also complete the DNP.
