Review
The knowledge base and skills necessary for mental health nurses undertaking pre-registration courses are clearly presented in this informative text. There are many texts recommended to mental health nurse students. If you can only afford one, go for this one. (Mental Health Practice, June 2009 )
I can't find anything to compare to this book, no other text has everything in one place. I just found the chapters so friendly and captivating - they inform my knowledge further...I can't wait to recommend this to student nurses. (Justin Watts, Student Nurse Mentor, employed within Plymouth Teaching Primary Care NHS Trust. )
I would recommend it as a main text for the mental health pre-reg branch programme. The text has been written in a consistent, user centred style with realistic scenarios which recognise the contemporary challenges of modern day mental health practice. (Dr Steve Tee, Senior Lecturer in Mental Health Nursing, Southampton University School of Nursing and Midwifery )
This book is extremely user friendly and very useful for new comers to the profession or those attempting to teach it. I recommend this book for all mental health nursing students to beg, borrow or buy. (Amazon.co.uk reviewer )

Product Description
In order to provide sound, person-centred care, mental health nursing students need a thorough understanding of theory alongside the ability to translate this knowledge into practice. It can be difficult to apply ideas from the classroom and books when learning how to work with mental health service users for the first time. That is why the theoretical aspects of this book are presented alongside realistic accounts of nursing practice. Fundamentals of Mental Health Nursing is a case-based and service user centred textbook for mental health nursing students. Designed to support students throughout their pre-registration studies, the text covers the essential knowledge required to provide high quality nursing care. Contributions from real service users and cases of fictional clients are explored in detail to provide excellent transferable skills for practice. Dedicated chapters explore fundamental nursing skills and mental health law before providing a case-based exploration of the areas and subjects that will be encountered by students in university and placement. Practice-based chapters introduce students to the needs of a diverse range of fictional clients and explain how the skills of communication, assessment, care planning and monitoring can be applied. Each chapter provides a sample care plan explaining why and how clinical decisions are made, so that students can develop their own skills and practice. The text opens with clear advice to help students succeed in their studies and concludes with a wealth of practical and thoughtful advice on becoming a professional and getting that first job. Online Resource Centre * Twenty one video clips of fictional service users demonstrate the application of theory and prepare students for real nursing practice * Quizzes, scenarios and a range of activities help students to apply their learning * Interactive glossary explains terminology and jargon * Sample CV's and self awareness exercises aid professional development

Format:Paperback
This book is extremely user friendly. Case examples are used throughout and the realities of mental health care addressed from both a provider and service user perspective. The information provided also helps to understand the process of mental health nursing and where it fits within service provision. This is very useful for new comers to the profession or those attempting to teach it. One of the features that enhances the credibility of this text is the free online resources to support learning. I recommend this book for all mental health nursing students to beg, borrow or buy.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book was one of only 2 that university recommended we buy during our nurse training. It covers most areas simply, and the activities and case studies are really useful (I usually skip this part of a book). The book got us through one of our exams almost single handedly. It offers the perspective of the nurse, patient and family rather being entirely disorder focussed. I still refer to the book regularly since qualifying. I cant recommend this book enough for any student mental health nurse.

I find this book very easy to get along with and the added bonus of online guidance is a great help when looking at scenarios. A worthwhile purchase.
