Zusammenfassung:	This paper discusses the progression of developments in psychiatric–mental health nursing from the 1960s to the present. The 1960s were a time of shortage of psychiatric APRNs, with legislation expanding the availability of mental health services. We find ourselves in a similar time with 7 million new health insurance enrollees, because of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The expansion of health insurance coverage comes at a time when some colleges of nursing are closing master's programs in psychiatric–mental health, in lieu of the DNP mandate from the American Association of Colleges of Nursing. Is history repeating itself?
