This course is designed for well motivated individuals looking for a rewarding and challenging career. As a Mental Health Nurse, you should be patient and compassionate in order to recognize individual needs and the appropriate interventions for them. It is all about helping people make positive changes to their lives and supporting them on their journey of recovery. This course offers you the opportunity to train in one of London’s leading and most well-established departments for nursing education. Our priority is to ensure that you graduate with the skills and knowledge to enter the mental health nursing profession, which can often be a stressful and challenging environment, with confidence. This course will prepare you for all aspects of the profession including supporting people working towards recovery, dealing with crisis and emergency situations, improving the effect of patients’ physical health, detecting deterioration and how to approach, assess and provide the most appropriate care and treatment in differing situations. On successful graduation you will gain registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), which provides an internationally-recognized professional qualification enabling you to practice in the UK and overseas. Some countries require additional local registration. Students will receive careers support from your personal tutor during the course and are encouraged to explore your personal career aspirations. For students starting this course in September 2018, a new scholarship worth £4,450 is available from City, University of London to those who demonstrate either clinical or academic excellence.
