    This Mental Health Nursing course provides information and instructions on foundational concepts and principles of nursing care related to mental health problems in the hospital and/or community settings. The goal is to provide a strong foundation in nursing theory, critical thinking and clinical judgment, evidence-based practice, and safe clinical care in all settings.

    The mental health nursing scope of practice varies widely depending on the country, the national and regional government, and professional regulatory agencies.  In an attempt to be relevant to the entire global mental health nursing community, this course addresses nursing skills and practice on several levels. It is the nurse’s responsibility to know what particular regulations apply to their area of practice.

    The Mental Health Nursing course is a competency-based course developed in partnership with Nurses International (NI) and NextGenU.org (NGU). Competencies were developed in collaboration with subject matter experts in mental health nursing education and practice. The Essentials: Core Competencies for Professional Nursing Education, direct the course objectives. The course uses learning resources from accredited world-class organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO), the U.S. National Institutes of Mental Health (NIMH), universities, international guidelines, and peer-reviewed journals. The Moodle Learning Management System (LMS) is utilized for facilitating distance learning. The course was designed by NextGenU’s Instructional Design team and Nurses International’s team members: Kathleen Capone MS, RN CNE, EdD; Teresa Darnall, DM, MSN, RN, CNE; Jordan Wilson MSN, RN-BC; Stephanie Marfurt APRN-BC, ARNP-BC; Stacen Keating Ph.D., RN; Emily Pappa MSN, RN; Bailey White RN, BSN, CCRN; Rachel Loftin, MSN, RN; Marija Bjegovich-Weidman RN, BSN, MSN, CCAP; Zahid Ullah BSN, RN, MPH; Caitlin Cartmell MFS, BSN, RN;  NPD-BC; Bimala Rai BSN, RN.
