I managed to get on this course as I done level 2 health and social care and gained a merit on this course. Mental health nursing Mental health nursing is often complex, demanding and very rewarding. As many as one in three people are thought to suffer some form of mental health problem. However, dealing with the human mind and behaviour is not an exact science. Therapeutic relationships Mental ill health is often brought on by a crisis in life such as depression after the death of a partner. However, depression is just one of the ranges of conditions that come under the heading of mental ill health. There are also neuroses, psychoses, psychological and personality disorders. Therapeutic relationships between the mental health nurse, those with mental ill health, and their families are critical to successful mental health nursing. Helping people back to mental health is also every bit as valuable and satisfying as caring for those with a physical illness. Core qualities and skills Your main tool as a mental health nurse will be the strength of your own personality and communication skills.

It is especially important to achieve the right balance as a third year student, as delegating too much may result in a loss of control, while failing to delegate or not delegating enough can lead to duties not being completed. I will begin by discussing areas of delegation such as responsibility, accountability and authority. I will then move on to discuss aspects and principles of best practice. I will then continue to focus on managerial and organisational aspects relating to delegation, I will discuss these aspects using examples from practice. Delegation may be difficult but it offers many potential benefits to both individuals and the organisation, ‘resulting in the optimum use of human resources and improved performance’ (Wheeler: 2001) According to Batman and Snell (2004), delegation is the assignment of authority and responsibility to a subordinate at a lower level requiring that the subordinate reports back to their manager the...
