Abstract
Are you unsure about your mental health nursing placement? Do you need guidance on what to prepare to get the most out of your practice learning? Will you have the range of skills to care for people with mental health problems? What learning opportunities will there be to meet your competencies? How can you maximize your learning during this placement? This book will help you with all these concerns. It will advise you on what to expect from the placement, what you can learn, how to link theory and practice, and how to make the most of your learning opportunities and meet your competencies. Placement Learning in Mental Health Nursing covers the following areas: takes a logical, step-by-step approach to preparing for learning on a mental health placement; introduces the principles of care, support and treatment of an individual with mental health problems, linking university-learned theory to practice; uses narratives from other students to describe what the placement will really be like; highlights potential learning opportunities and experiences available on a mental health placement; explains how to develop your clinical portfolio by completing specific exercises and activities; maps all activities and exercises to the NMC competencies; discusses the possible challenges that may arise during a mental health placement and advises on approaches to a range of situations; and keeps the aim of recovery as a central philosophy in line with contemporary thinking in mental health care.
