Course summary
What this course is about
UCAS code: B762
Here's what Bangor University says about its Mental Health Nursing course.
To be a mental health nurse requires patience, resilience and compassion. You’ll be caring for people of all ages when they’re at their most vulnerable, suffering from a range of mental health issues. You will support and provide evidence-based interventions to an individual to meet their physical, mental, social and spiritual needs.
Validated by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), our Bachelor of Mental Health Nursing (BN) prepares you to become professional, caring and competent nurse, who prioritises patient needs. It blends wide-ranging clinical placements* with research-based theory and supported clinical skills training featuring virtual technologies, which enable you to practice skills in a supported environment.
Spending half of your time on placement in Wales instils the importance of being part of a wider healthcare team, where you are supported by designated placement link tutors to support you to develop your clinical skills. You’ll also have the chance to reflect on what you learn with our own enthusiastic and experienced staff. The teaching team for the BN Nursing Mental Health programme has a wealth and range of experience across the lifespan to share with you during your on campus taught sessions.
Our mental health nursing students tell us that this degree has changed the way they not only view people, but also society at large. They see it as a privilege to work with and see the positive changes in people who are learning to live with anything from personality disorders and psychosis to suicidal thoughts or substance misuse.
From the outset, clinical skills training builds the skills required to become a professional registered nurse. Our simulation-based training equipment, using VR and lifelike manikins, lets you safely examine ‘patients’ and interact in real-time to clinical situations based on real-life examples. This prepares you for the realities of working and responding to such situations, both on placement and future practice.
*Please note that in order to achieve the necessary diversity of placement experience to meet the requirements for clinical competency, you will need to travel to placements across Wales.
