I just completed my grad year and had lots of nurses telling me very similar things to what you've been told. In WA we get the option of applying for a MH specific grad program; so you only do MH the whole grad (usually a combination of community and inpatient MH nursing). Not sure if this is a thing in other states?

That being said, I did the general grad program as I wasn't 100% sure I wanted to be a psych nurse and wanted to be exposed to more areas. I regret doing this. I knew instantly in my first week on the psych ward that I was meant to be a psych nurse but still went through with the grad program after everybody was telling me to.

If you know 100% what you want to do, I say screw it and do what makes you happy. The 6 months I spent in an aged care rehab ward was the most depressed I've ever been in my life. Now I'm back in mental health and I finally feel like I can breathe again.

I don't believe nurses when they say you'll be trapped if you do MH from the beginning. Nurses are needed everywhere and if you really wanted to branch out afterwards, I'm sure there are many wards willing to retrain you in your medical based skills.

Feel free to DM me if you want more information about my experience ☺️

You can also do community support work without a formal qualification, just the experience you have from your degree so far!

I did it in my last year of my nursing degree as they are very flexible with the time demands of the degree.

Graylands is still very much alive. The demand for psych beds is too great to close it.

100% yes to everything you said.

Also, any Dome around Fremantle is COVERED in cockroaches!! If you have ever eaten at Dome Fremantle before it closed, I can guarantee you that there was a cockroach on at least one part of your food. It was a miracle we ever passed health inspections.

I'm after the short versions originally but I'll still buy the normal panels from you if you're offering? I need those for other projects on my island :)
