During your placements in hospitals, rehab units, and homes, you'll actively support real individuals, building meaningful relationships with their families and friends. Together, you'll adopt a holistic and inclusive approach to nursing, guided by experts in the mental health field every step of the way. In your first year, we lay the foundation by introducing you to the profession, covering the basics and exploring the philosophy behind mental wellbeing. Delve into the complexities of psychological mental illnesses, understanding the societal role in defining mental health, and addressing stigmas and notions of exclusion. Balancing theoretical perspectives with practical applications, you'll gain a solid foundation for the subsequent years. Moving into your second year, you'll acquire the skills to assess patients and ethically apply interventions, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy or involving family members actively. Understand the physical effects of medicines on the brain and leverage your compassionate nature to bring individuals closer to recovery. In your final year, you'll have the opportunity to delve deeper into specific areas of interest. Whether exploring socio-political issues impacting nursing practices or understanding how spiritual, psychosocial, cultural, and emotional aspects influence patient care, the choice is yours. This personalized approach empowers you to focus on topics you are passionate about, culminating in a well-rounded and specialized nursing education.
