 3 Tips to Pass the PMHNP Exam by The Nerdy Nurse

AFTER PASSING YOUR NP EXAM/BOARDS

https://pmhealthnp.com/after-the-pmhnp-boards/

1. Notify Your School That You Passed

2. Call American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) To Notify Your State Of

Practice: ANCC does not communicate with your state or it may take a while to

update information.
3. Go Online To Your BON State To Get Your RN License Upgraded To APRN:

The state does not communicate with the boards so you have to go online (or call) to

change the status.

4. Apply For Your NPI/CMS (Centers For Medicare & Medicaid Services) (Free):

The National Provider Identifier (NPI) is a unique identification number for

covered health care providers to improve the electronic transmission of health

information. This permanent number is also considered your CMS number.

5. Get Your Medicaid & Medicare (Part A/B)/Medicare Provider Enrollment,

Chain, And Ownership System (PECOS) Number: they do not communicate with

each other and most have to provide access.

6. Apply For Your DEA License: must renew every 3 years. Some employers may pay

for it. It takes about 2-3 weeks to receive.

7. Obtain A Secondary State Controlled Substance License: it’s not available in

every state but it may be valuable if you’re working with substance abuse, research,

etc.

8. Start The CAQH Online Resume/Online Portfolio (Free): This information is

primarily for servicing Medicare/Medicaid patients. This is where we have to post our

malpractice insurance and all other credentialing information (i.e. DEA number, NPI,

school/practicum hours info, etc. - required for approval). Keep information updated

regularly.

9. Obtain Your Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) Waiver Or Do The

Training Hours (Free): the course is provided by APNA, and is a 24-hour course

divided by 8 hours (1st course) and 16 hours (the second course). When you apply for
 the waiver, your state may require a collaborative physician, but you can still do the

training first then find a physician.

10. Get Clozapine Risk Evaluation And Mitigation Strategy (REMS) Access (Free):

the requirement to prescribe, dispense, and receive clozapine that is shared into a

single program called the REMS, which is mandatory if you plan to prescribe

clozapine.

11. Register For The Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP): a tool used by

prescribers and dispensers to assess patient risk of drug abuse and is also used to

prevent diversion at the prescriber, pharmacy, and patient levels.

https://www.cdc.gov/drugoverdose/pdmp/index.html

12. Get Involved Or Learn More About Various Organizations:

a. Neuroscience Education Institute (NEI): this has so much information on

psychopharmacology. Membership is expensive but there may be discount

codes if you search for them. NEI was founded by psychiatrist Dr. Stahl, so

the content is similar to his books.

b. The Carlat Reports: provides clinicians with practical and engaging

psychiatric education and gives the latest up-to-date information about mental

health practices.

c. Psychopharmacology Institute: independent of pharmaceuticals and a great

resource for psych medications.

CREATE A PROFESSIONAL FOLDER/PORFOLIO

1. Updated Resume/CV

2. PMHNP/ANCC Board Certification & Nursing License

4. Research or publications, cases studies you were involved in

5. BLS and ACLS Certification (if required)

6. DEA License

7. Malpractice Insurance

8. MISC Information: references, membership cards, specialty certifications, CEUs, etc.

9. Maintaining PMHNP Certification: American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP)

and ANCC sites.
