Why choose Regis for your MSN in Psychiatric Mental Health?





Prepare to play a critical role in the future of psychiatric mental health.
Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) help patients of all ages and their families by preventing, identifying, monitoring and treating common acute psychiatric conditions, illnesses and crises through holistic approaches. With the decrease in stigma in recent years, more people, including military veterans, are pursuing mental health treatment and understanding the benefits of mental wellness. Yet today, only 2% of all NPs specialize in psychiatric mental health care.*
Psychiatric mental health practice is ranked No. 10 among the “Top 10 MSN Degree Specializations” by Nursejournal.org.
Currently, nurses are in short supply and high demand. Join our online Master of Science in Nursing program to help fill this growing void.
