STEP 3

You will start at the Applicant tab. Here you will enter your contact information.

Click Save as Draft. (As you complete the information on each tab, remember to hit the Save as Draft button so that your information is saved.)

STEP 4

Continue through the remaining tabs (Nursing School, Background, Profile, Statement, Reference & Confirm). Be sure to click Submit FINAL Application once all tabs are complete.

Additional information for the Reference tab:

All applications must include a reference from a person who can speak to the candidate’s interest and/or performance in psychiatric-mental health nursing. It is preferred but not required for the reference to be an APNA Member.

On this Reference tab you will find a form that will allow you to generate an email request directly to your reference. Fill out the form and then click the Initiate Email Request button. This email will ask them to complete an electronic reference for you.

You should monitor this section of your application to ensure that the reference is completed by the deadline of April 30. You will receive a confirmation email when the reference has submitted their statement. Once you receive this confirmation and your application is complete, you will need to log in to the site and press the Submit Final Application button.
