The ANA Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Review and Resources Manual

Also known as “The Purple Book,” this text offers a full range of content on all areas learned throughout PMHNP school.  It discusses important topics related to scope of practice, medication management, psychotherapy, and theory.  Written by experts in psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner practice, this book provides a clinical reference tool and certification examination preparation.

As it helps to enhance critical thinking skills and identify professional strengths and weaknesses, this text helps future PMHNPs to prepare for Master’s-Level Nursing Practice as described by the AACN in Essential Competency IX: "Master’s-level nursing graduates must have an advanced level of understanding of nursing and relevant sciences as well as the ability to integrate this knowledge into practice."
