Description:

Prerequisite: NURS 336, 337, 347, PSYCH 204 Mental Health Nursing provides the opportunity to reflect on the continuum of mental health and mental illness, the profound impact of stigma, myths, biases, and the dynamic influences of the political, social, economic, climate and the ever-evolving health care system on the lives of client, significant persons in the lives of our clients and the community. Mental health nursing uses theories from a variety of disciplines - psychology, biology, neurology, sociology, cultural anthropology and nursing theory - to understand the life stories of our clients. The essence of mental health nursing is the construction and maintenance of the therapeutic relationship in which the nurse, as an integral part of the interdisciplinary team, supports the client in the journey toward health and full participation in a meaningful life.
