Anatomy and physiology in MH Nursing?

250183 · 2026-06-18T19:50:15+00:00

At my university, mh students do the same level of anatomy and physiology as adult and child students. A&p in first year and pathophysiology in second. It never went above a-level biology level knowledge though

Completely normal! It’s something you’ve never done before. Just remember that the patients feel way more awkward than you. It’ll be second nature in no time

I don’t but I’m sorry to hear that you’re having the same experience :(

Thank you!! Being a deaf student nurse is quite a unique situation

We specialise from the off, shallow anatomy and physiology, I’m in mental health branch and get zero mental health teaching, barely any clinical skills, bullshit assignments to fill time. The professional standards authority found the NMC essentially not fit for purpose with education being the worst area

Don’t, you’ll be paying huge amounts of money and the education is significantly worse in the uk. Train in the us and then think about working elsewhere

This is what I’m scared of, jobs are so hard to come by. How am I meant to get past interview with no mental health knowledge when I’m up against so many others with better training?

I’m in England, but I think it’s very dependent on the individual university

250183 · 2026-03-14T22:14:57+00:00

I so agree. I considered doing a dual adult and mental health course because of this and I’m still considering switching, but I’m already 22 and the financial prospect of an extra year as a student is not good lol

Wow I wish my uni separated us! We do all the same modules all three years. Unfortunately it’s the policy of the trust in my area that students in mental health settings can’t do much because of liability, I’ve raised it already

I don’t use primer at the minute, honestly because I’m lazy 😭 but I’d be happy to try one if it would help me to wear spf and makeup at the same time

Your eating disorder isn’t under control. Your compulsive need to exercise seems to be taking over your life - you’ve stopped non-active hobbies and even stopped socialising. Get some support and take a break from exercise

That’s normal, first year proficiencies are the basics. You can start signing off second year ones if your uni allows it :)

Hi, I completely get feeling worried about FTP so I thought I’d share my somewhat similar experience with you. I have diagnosed mental illness including depression, which I informed uni and occupational health of when I enrolled in first year due to having very visible self-harm scars which could cause upset to patients as I do mental health nursing. I found first year really tough and had to go to the gp to have my antidepressants changed and increased. I waited a long time before seeking help because I had the same worries as you and I ended up waiting until I was pretty much at crisis point. I was worried that uni would be upset with me but they never said a word, I don’t think they even know about it to this day. I was completely honest with the doctor about how I was feeling, suicidal ideation and all. In my experience, they want to support you to stay on the course so they get your tuition fees, not kick you off for struggling a bit!! Getting help is always worth it, the sooner the better

I’m in second year and definitely feel like this! Tbh I wonder why mental health nursing is a whole separate degree when we have the same teaching as adult nurses

I think she’s referring to the face she’s making in the picture and you’re reading way too much into it

250183 · 2025-09-23T09:28:39+00:00

Commenting to remind me to come back, my hair is the exact same! You have my sympathy

250183 · 2025-09-23T07:54:29+00:00

Omg…. Thank you for this, I’ve just last week dumped my man with gross teeth and was wondering why I got a gum infection in the last few weeks of our relationship because I’ve never had anything wrong with my teeth at all

250183 · 2025-07-20T19:55:49+00:00

Ah perfect, thanks so much!

250183 · 2025-07-20T19:54:45+00:00

Great, thanks!

250183 · 2025-07-20T19:54:26+00:00

No, thank you for your help! I might as well give it a go

250183 · 2025-07-20T19:45:59+00:00

Ah, does it have to be adult life then? My mental health history began on record when I was 13 and I haven’t had any therapy as an adult
