Seasat operated for 106 days until 10 October 1978, when a massive short circuit in the satellite's electrical system ended the mission.

Step 3: Gain Experience. Most psychiatric nurse practitioner graduate degree programs require applicants to have one to two years of clinical psychiatric nursing experience as an RN before considering them for enrollment.aster's degree programs for psychiatric nurse practitioners generally take one-and-a-half to three years to complete, depending on the school.
All nurse practitioners must first be registered nurses, so a bachelor's degree in nursing is a requirement, as is passing the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN). Then, you'll have to get a nurse practitioner degree, which can take anywhere from two to four years to procure. Then there's additional certification to use the APRN title and board certification for your specialty (women's health, pediatrics or neonatal, to name a few).
