Ahhh, bet it's PMHNP. Stands for Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. First part's redundant, imo(!) Anyhow, their, what is called "prescriptive authority" varies from state to state. Where I am, they have "full prescriptive authority", which means they are authorized to do prescriptionspo, just like an MD. So I am able to do both meds and therapy through one person.
(Some places it is set up differently--I'd be happy to check into it for you a bit later but right now it's off to work...)
