Abstract
In April 1995, Wisconsin’s law initiating independent prescriptive authority for advanced practice nurses went into effect.

Advanced practice psychiatric nurse prescribers needed the opportunity to synthesize previous learning and prescribing principles. This article will discuss the development of an innovative course that prepares learners for their new role through case presentations and clinical mentorship experiences.
