Nurse Practitioners would you like to expand your clinical knowledge of Mental Health?

To
Nurse Practitioners working in the Health Safety Net: Would you like to expand
your clinical knowledge of Mental Health The
Virginia Health Care Foundation (VHCF)
has established a special scholarship to underwrite the full costs of tuition
and required fees for health safety net Nurse Practitioners (NP) who return to school to obtain a
post master’s certificate as Psych-Mental Health NPs (PMHNPs). This is
a wonderful opportunity for nurse practitioners to gain valuable training in
behavioral health and help address a huge unmet need in Virginia. There are
only 106 licensed PMHNPs currently practicing in Virginia. The demand for more
is high as there is a growing realization about the important link between
physical and mental health. Once
accepted into a certified Psych-Mental Health post-masters certificate program,
a Nurse Practitioner who works in or volunteers in Virginia’s health care
safety net may apply to VHCF for a scholarship that will pay full tuition and
all required fees (worth $13,000 -
$22,000). Click
