I think I did really well with most of the questions and definitely came over enthusiastic and genuinely would love to be a mental health nurse . There's just two things I didn't think to mention and I'm really annoyed with myself .
Question about personal care : I talked about how I would approach it and about consent and what I would do if I failed to get consent - but didn't mention the words respect or dignity .
Question about the role of a student mental health nurse : I spoke about confidentiality and that primarily you are there to learn - but I didn't mention that as a student you must go through your mentor with everything and that you must inform patients that you are a student and respect their right to be treated by a registered professional .
I studied all this stuff and I'm so annoyed with myself !! If the rest of my answers were solid think I've not blown it ? There are 250 applicants and only 30 places
