Can you help me? Im having a bit of a dilemma at the moment.
Im doing a nursing degree, am in my first year. I started the degree with the intention of choosing adult branch in my second year, but have had this niggling at the back of my mind throughout my two years on access course and 6mths so far at uni- about mental health nursing.
Tomorrow I will be going on a 5 week mental health placement within a rehabilitation centre, i suppose that this will make up my mind whether it is for me or not. The only thing that concerns me with this is that it is only one area of mental health - I dont want to make my mind up about my future based on one placement.
For the past two weeks I have had mental health prep for practice sessions and I really feel that this is the area of nursing that I want to go into.
...but I just feel really confused!
CAn anyone offer any help/advice about MH nursing? I researched the role of Adult/general nurse to the death but payed not much attention to MH.
I have to make a decision by July about which branch I want to choose, which may seem like a long way off, but judging by how fast the last 6 mths has gone, isnt.
Any help/advice/info will be greatly appreciated.
