Training pathways
Nurse practitioners may pursue dual or multiple certifications by completing additional graduate-level training, such as post-master's certificates or Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) programs. Upon satisfying the educational and clinical requirements for these secondary specialties, they become eligible for further board certification and expanded clinical practice. For instance, a family nurse practitioner (FNP) may obtain a post-master's certificate in psychiatric-mental health to qualify for dual certification as an FNP/PMHNP.
