Career Profile - Mental Health Nurse


Career Profile


As a mental health nurse, you’ll help people with mental health conditions by supporting their recovery or helping them to live independently while improving their quality of life

You may advise on suitable therapies, activities or groups, help with medication and identify any potential risks. You’ll plan and provide care and will encourage the patient to get more involved with their condition to gain control over it.

You can specialise in working with certain groups, such as children or older people, or in a specific area such as eating disorders, psychosis, personality disorders, drugs and alcohol, depression and anxiety, or obsessive compulsive disorder.

Work is often carried out in multidisciplinary teams, liaising with psychiatrists, psychologists, occupational therapists, GPs, social workers and other health professionals.

You may work with patients in a variety of settings including:

* their own homes
* community healthcare centres
* hospital psychiatric wards or specialist units
* hospital outpatients departments
* specialist units
* secure residential units.

Responsibilities
As a Mental Health Nnurse, you’ll need to:

* assess and talk to patients about their condition and discuss the best way to plan and deliver their care
* build relationships with patients to encourage trust, while listening to and interpreting their needs and concerns
* ensure the correct administration of medication, including injections, and monitor the results of treatment
* respond to distressed patients in a non-threatening manner and attempt to understand the source of their discomfort
* help patients manage their emotions through de-escalation techniques
* prepare and participate in group and/or one-to-one therapy sessions, both individually and with other health professionals
* provide evidence-based individual therapy, such as cognitive behaviour therapy for depression and anxiety
* organise social events aimed at developing patients’ social skills and help to reduce their feelings of isolation
* prepare and maintain patient records and produce care plans and risk assessments
* make sure that the legal requirements appropriate to a particular setting or group of patients are observed
* work with patients’ families and carers, to help to educate them and the patient about their mental health problems.

If you work in the community, you may also need to:

* visit patients in their home to monitor progress and carry out risk assessments with regard to their safety and welfare
* liaise with patients, relatives and fellow professionals in the community treatment team and attend regular meetings to review and monitor patients’ care plans
* identify whether/when patients are at risk of harming themselves or others.

Salary

* Fully qualified mental health nurses start on salaries of £28,407 rising to £34,581 on Band 5 of the NHS Agenda for Change pay rates.
* As you progress, you’ll work up through the bands. Most experienced nurses work at Band 6 or 7 with salaries ranging from £35,392 to £50,056.
* One of the highest paid positions in nursing is as a nurse consultant, where salaries start on Band 8a ranging from £50,952 to £57,349.

Extra allowances of 5% to 20% are payable in the London area, depending on your proximity to inner London.

Income data from Health Careers. Figures are intended as a guide only.

Working Hours

You’ll typically work 37.5 hours per week. This may include evenings, weekends and bank holidays. In residential and hospital settings, 24-hour care is usually required, meaning shift work is likely.

If you work in the community you’re more likely to have regular hours, although you may need to carry out on-call duties for emergency situations.

What to expect

* A large proportion of mental health nurses work in the community, although some provide in-house care.
* Vacancies occur throughout the UK, particularly in cities and towns. Skills shortages may occur in some specialisms so it’s good to research this when thinking of which area of mental health is for you. There is a current growth in the need for child and adolescent mental health services.
* It’s important to maintain a positive work/life balance. This can be difficult due to the level of personal commitment and working patterns required.
* The role can be stressful and upsetting on occasions and there can be an element of personal danger and the potential for violent behaviour, although you’ll be taught how to identify and diffuse building tension. However, it can also be an extremely rewarding role.
* Local travel during the working day is common for community psychiatric nurses (CPNs).

Skills

You’ll need to have:

* excellent observational skills to assess patients and look out for signs of tension or anxiety
* strength, stamina and physical fitness particularly if working in a hospital or secure residential unit
* excellent communication skills for dealing with patients and their families
* the ability to stay calm and think quickly in challenging circumstances
* emotional resilience and a non-judgemental approach
* skills in decision making and time and stress management
* empathy with patients and the situation they’re in and ability to advise them on how to deal with their condition
* the ability to help others overcome social stigma related to mental health.

Career prospects

There are various routes you can take to progress your career as a mental health nurse. You could become a specialist nurse, either working with a specific client group such as offenders or children and young people or with a specific area such as alcohol or substance misuse, forensic psychology or psychotherapeutic interventions.

There are some opportunities to progress further into posts such as advanced nurse practitioner, nurse manager or nurse consultant, which may also open up opportunities to work in a more specialist role. For these positions, you’re likely to need further qualifications, possibly at Masters level, plus relevant experience. In some cases, the more senior posts have less hands-on nursing responsibilities and you may be more involved in research and promoting best practice.

Roles as a nurse leader are also available which could see you managing a ward or leading a team of nurses. The NHS Leadership Academy provides a number of programmes to help nurses into leadership roles at all levels of your career.

There are also opportunities to move into educational roles, such as:

* lecturer – teaching students at universities
* lecturer practitioner – continuing to deliver care to patients
* mentor – supporting and helping to train student nurses
* preceptor – providing support to newly qualified nurses
* researcher – playing a key role in ensuring that the nursing profession is enhanced and informed by specialist knowledge.

It’s possible to join a unit or trust management team in an advisory or executive capacity, making decisions that directly affect patient or client welfare, including financial and staffing matters.

There are increasing opportunities in the private and independent healthcare sectors, or you may choose to move into roles in social services, the prison service, voluntary organisations or residential nursing homes. There are also opportunities overseas for qualified and experienced UK nurses in a range of countries.

Grading & How it Works

The UK has a unique higher education grading system. Its most unique feature compared to traditional grading systems is that it aims to be more specific in describing students’ academic achievement.

This type of assessment method is highly valued because it offers many advantages. Most importantly it highlights your academic strengths and specific skills, therefore, it helps employers gain a better understanding of your true potential.

Since it is proved to be such an efficient tool to assess students’ performance, many foreign countries like Canada, Australia and India are using the same grading system on some occasions with small changes to fit into their own local educational context.

We use a letter grade scale from A to F to indicate the students’ academic performance. If you get an A it means you have shown outstanding knowledge whereas if you get an F it means your score is not sufficient to pass the exam.
