Acute Psychiatric Nursing Theory Learning Objectives
Goals:
I’m really looking forward to this course and want to expand my knowledge of mental health beyond what I already know. I also want to learn the different tools and strategies used for assessment, diagnosis and treatment of acutely psychotic patients and also to improve my knowledge of the CRNBC nursing standards.
How they were met:
I believe my learning goals were reached this semester through utilizing the textbook, participating in online postings and discussions and by applying the theories and concepts learned in this course to my clinical practice. This course helped expand my knowledge and understanding of the nature of acute psychiatric nursing. This helped me to gain an awareness of different the disorders, treatments, medications, crisis interventions, involuntary and voluntary hospitalizations and individual nature of mental illness. Learning the standards of practice and watching nurses on the IPU unit adhere to these standards helped me grasp a better understanding of how to apply knowledge gained from theory to clinical to become a competent psychiatric nursing.
