Mental Health Nursing Degrees
This program is offered in a hybrid-online format. Several different modalities are used to enhance the student’s learning, including multimedia presentations, asynchronous discussion boards, and live chats. Travel to campus is required for up to a week for orientation at the beginning of your program, and after that only 2 – 3 times per semester ( 2 – 3 day sessions), depending on the courses being taught; students will encounter concentrated lab and interactive case-based seminar experiences. A schedule of immersion sessions will be posted at least 2 months in advance of each semester.
Focused clinical experiences are arranged with appropriate preceptors and administrators. Every attempt will be made to arrange this in the student's geographical area. In the event that clinical sites are unavailable in that area, the student will be required to complete their clinical experience in the Phoenix area. Rural health and experiences with disadvantaged and multi-cultural populations are encouraged.
Boards of Nursing (BON) in some states have instituted rules related to students enrolled in out-of-state advanced practice nursing programs. These rules often pertain to the clinical practicum hours. Please check with your State Board of Nursing to determine if there are any restrictions or special rules, in your state, that affect your ability to do a clinical practicum in your state while enrolled in an out of state advanced practice nursing program.
