Overview
The Mental Health Nursing stream in the Graduate Certificate in Health, the Graduate Diploma in Mental Health Nursing and the Master of Mental Health Nursing offers registered nurses the opportunity to study and develop skills in the specialist field of mental health nursing within a framework of primary health care. Graduates of the Graduate Diploma in Mental Health Nursing and Master of Mental Health Nursing are eligible to apply for registration as a Mental Health Nurse with the Nurses Board of South Australia.
The stream and courses address care delivery processes, critical reflection on mental health nursing practice and the effects of policy and politics on health care provision and access. This ensures students are prepared for mental health nursing practice and have the ability to research and critique their individual practice, its part in the provision of care and the effect of the health care system on practice.
