BSc (Hons) Nursing (Registered Nurse - Mental Health)

Nursing practice in the 21st Century is becoming increasingly demanding. Nurses play a key role, through their work in primary and secondary care settings, restoring and promoting health, supporting patients and their families, and profiling healthcare needs of communities.

This professionally accredited course enables students to study to become a registered nurse with the Nursing and Midwifery Council upon completion of the programme.

The University of Lincoln recognises the challenges to contemporary and future healthcare and nursing practice. The course is designed to prepare graduates to help shape future healthcare provision in the complex, demanding, and rewarding area of mental health nursing.

A career as a mental health nurse can be both demanding and rewarding. Nurses support patients to manage their illness and improve their lives, working in a range of settings from hospitals and homes to community centres.

The degree is underpinned by the six fundamental values outlined in the Chief Nursing Officers vision and strategy - Compassion in Practice.
