AB  - BACKGROUND: No data exist about how directors of psychiatric mental health (PMH) 
      graduate nurse practitioner (NP) programs have dealt with moving their programs 
      to a lifespan model. It is equally unclear as to how many programs have changed 
      to a doctor of nursing practice (DNP) level of clinical education. OBJECTIVES: 
      The purpose of this survey was to gather data on the state of graduate PMH NP 
      education as they align with regulatory models. DESIGN: A brief survey was sent 
      via e-mail to 118 program directors of PMH NP programs. RESULTS: Seventy-six 
      program directors responded (64% return rate). Their responses indicate all 
      programs have transitioned to a PMH NP lifespan model and about a third to the 
      DNP level. Securing child clinical placements is a significant issue. CONCLUSION: 
      Significant challenges exist to growing the PMH NP lifespan workforce including 
      how to assist PMH clinical nurse specialists, Adult PMH NPs, and other NPs 
      wanting to obtain the PMH NP lifespan degree.
