Our talk
Mental Health Nursing (BN) Admissions Tutor, Alex Nute, provides an overview of the course - from how it is structured, to tips on how to apply.
Being a mental health nurse has allowed me to care for people at their most vulnerable, to have an opportunity to make a difference and to empower and support them in changing their lives. It's the best feeling in the world!
Hear from one of our students
Second year Mental Health Nursing (BN) student, Jodie, talks about her experience of studying with us.
I love being a student nurse because it gives me the opportunity to learn new things everyday. It's also helped me to become the person I am today - I am far more confident and open minded and I'll never take anything for granted from now on.
