The AANPCB® PMHNP-C exam is tailored for nurses who aim to become certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioners. Offered by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners Certification Board (AANPCB), this certification validates your ability to provide specialized care for patients with mental health needs across the lifespan.

Eligibility requires completing a graduate, postgraduate, or doctoral program focused on psychiatric-mental health nursing and holding an active RN license. The program must be accredited by either the CCNE or ACEN.

The PMHNP-C exam consists of 150 questions, including 135 scored and 15 pretest questions, with a 3-hour time limit. A passing score typically requires correctly answering at least 500 out of 800 possible points. Once certified, the credential is valid for five years, after which recertification is required through continuing education or re-examination.
