Skills and aptitudes
The work that psychiatric nurse practitioners do is both
emotionally and mentally demanding. It requires a broad set of professional
skills honed over the course of their careers that allow these nurse
practitioners to manage their stress and workload while providing a high-level
of care.
● Professionalism: The subject of mental health can be difficult for patients and
their families to openly discuss. It is important that psychiatric nurse practitioners
act professionally, showing respect and tact when communicating with patients
and their families, and when assessing and evaluating a patient’s mental
health. They need to establish trust that will enable people to confide in them
while maintaining organizational values and acting as an advocate for those
coping with mental illness. In addition, psychiatric nurse practitioners must
be able to manage the pressure and stress that comes with their position.
● Analytical Skills: Determining the scope and specifics of a mental illness can be
difficult because its signs are not often clear and may differ from patient to
patient. Psychiatric nurse practitioners must be able to synthesize diverse
data and patient research in conjunction with their in-depth medical knowledge
and the insights from other professionals. The ability to analyze information
will allow them to design plans for care and therapy for their patients.
● Problem Solving: Psychiatric nurse practitioners find solutions. It is their job to
help patients to manage their mental health issues. Problem-solving skills are
necessary throughout the treatment process. These skills help in identifying
key risk factors, such as medical and family history of mental illness, trauma,
substance abuse, and environment, among other factors. Psychiatric nurse
practitioners must be able to collaborate with other professionals, using logic
and reason when addressing emotional topics. They are also responsible for the
continual evaluation of a patient’s treatment plan and for finding alternate
solutions as new challenges arise.
Prerequisites and Qualifications
Three years of experience as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner is required.
