Psychiatric/mental health nurse practitioners currently have only one choice for certification, which is through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). The ANCC offers the “psychiatric/mental-health nurse practitioner (across the lifespan)” board certification (PMHNP-BC). In many states, board certification is needed as a prerequisite to being granted an NP license. Even if board certification is not a requirement for state licensure, it may be a requirement to receive privileges in various hospitals and other health care facilities. It may also be required by malpractice insurance providers prior to issuing coverage to NPs.
In this Practicum Journal Assignment, you will develop a plan, which will serve as the road map for you to follow to attain your certification.
**Assigned in Week 1 but submitted in Week 4
To prepare for this Practicum Journal:
Write a 2- to 3-page paper in which you do the following:
Submit by Day 7 of Week 4.
This week, you developed your own personal format for initial interviews of mental health clients. You also explored the restrictions and limitations for practice as a PMHNP in your home state and created a plan for passing the national certification exam. NURS 6670 Interview Format Discussion & Certification Plan Practicum Journal Entry.
Next week, you will become “captain of the ship” as you take full responsibility for a client with a depressive disorder by recommending psychopharmacologic treatment and psychotherapy, identifying medical management needs and community support, and recommending follow-up plans. You will also explore how to obtain a DEA license and the responsibilities for safe prescribing and prescription monitoring.

Walden has selected the Fitzgerald Health Education Associates (FHEA) PMHNP 150 University Exit Comprehensive Exam to provide you with an opportunity to take practice exams and complete sample test questions. While passing your certification exam is not guaranteed, FHEA suggests that a score of 85% or higher is predictive of success on your NP board examination. The FHEA PMHNP 150 University Exit Comprehensive Exam is used in this course as an assessment in Week 3. Each exam is worth 100 points and 10% of your grade.
