Health Information about Mental Health Nursing – becoming a registered RMN Nurse

A career as a mental health nurse or RMN is extremely varied and rewarding. Mental health nursing jobs can be based in the community, in a secure setting, in a ward or in a care home. RMN Nurses have specific training in all kinds of mental health conditions from depression to dementia. Mental health nurses who work in the community or with the elderly usually have specific additional training relating to dementia. Nursing patients who have dementia requires a different set of specialist skills to those an RMN working in a substance abuse unit for instance.

The key skills of an RMN Nurse are different to those of an RGN adult nurse, not that either skill set is less important than the other. An RMN Nurse uses skills of communication, listening and interpreting to understand a patient’s condition and to hear what they aren’t saying as well as what they are. The continuity of treatment by one mental health practitioner can make an enormous to the wellbeing of a patient and can speed their recovery.

Training to be an RMN Nurse is very similar to any nursing course. There is approximately 50% academic work and 50% practical placement experience, most of which is focussed around mental health nursing environments. Once the course is complete, a student nurse becomes a qualified nurse when the NMC issues their PIN number, which is their professional registration and must be renewed every year in order to maintain their employment.

Mental health nurse jobs can be found at Nurses.co.uk or Socialcare.co.uk
