Course summary
*Mental health nurses work with people experiencing a wide range of mental experiences and distress. * Our mental health nursing students learn to promote personal recovery and physical health using the head (knowledge, critical thought and enquiry), the heart (emotion and attunement) and hand (the practice of nursing) through attention to therapeutic relationship with service users, families and carers. You will be supported to pro-actively engage with your learning through self-assessment, peer assessment, problem-based approaches, blended learning technologies, practice-based learning, group work and reflective practice groups. The promotion of lifelong learning is a core value of the course with social learning practices are actively encouraged. 50% of the year is spent on placements in a variety of mental health settings and in simulated healthcare situations to ensure you can confidently apply theory to practice. Successful graduates are eligible to apply for registration as a nurse with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) to practice anywhere in the UK - they are also guaranteed a job with Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust.
