Nursing with Registered Nurse - Mental Health (September) - BSc (Hons)

University of Lancashire

One in four people will experience mental health issues during their lives. As a mental health nurse you’ll help people to work towards recovery with the aim of living fulfilling lives in society. Mental health nurses work in people's homes, specialist clinics, GP practices and prisons, as well as hospital wards and care homes. Working in multi-disciplinary teams with psychiatrists, social workers, psychologists and occupational therapists you might support children, adolescents, working age or older adults. You'll need to be open-minded and motivated to help patients understand themselves and their condition. Whether it's assisting someone to overcome major surgery or helping someone with agoraphobia leave their house, you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that you've made a real difference to people's lives.
