I have been considering creating a blog for a very long time. Upon my many browsing's of the internet, I have found very little in the way of Mental Health nursing blogs. Of course, there are many blogs out there with the a myriad of stories all pertaining to nursing, but not many (that I've found) in relation to MH Nursing. Nursing itself is an exciting, exhilarating and emotional career. One that I feel her privileged to be embarking on and one I wish to share with you.
I am not a fully fledged nurse yet, I am currently half way through my training and I love it. However, nothing was there to prepare me for what a journey it would be. I felt that there was a need for aspiring mental health nurses to have a resource in order to prepare them for the situations and experiences that await them. I felt completely in the dark and nervous about what I was doing:
Had I made the right choice?
Would I be a good nurse?
Had I chosen the right speciality?
Could I really be the right person to help those who are truly in need?
I've been very lucky in the respect that I went into MH Nursing with a very open mind. If it wasn't for this I doubt that I would have got past my first placement. This site is a way for aspiring MH nurses to get a rough idea on what to expect when starting and during their training.
Maybe people will read this, maybe not, but I want it out there for those who look for it; those who look for guidance.
