🌟 Leading the Future of PMH Nursing 🌟

It was an incredible week at the AACN Doctoral Education Conference in Florida! We were proud to have ISPN President Dr. Dan Wesemann and Past President Dr. Rene Love representing our community at this pivotal event.

When our leaders engage at this level, it’s about more than just a meeting—it’s about advancing the standards of psychiatric-mental health nursing education. By collaborating with doctoral education leaders nationwide, Dr. Wesemann and Dr. Love are ensuring that PMH-APRNs are:

➡️ At the forefront of innovative clinical practice.

➡️ Equipped with the highest level of evidence-based academic training.

➡️ Influencing the national policies that shape how mental healthcare is delivered.

Their presence ensures that the unique needs of psychiatric nursing are central to the future of doctoral education. We are so grateful for their leadership and vision!
