NUR2520C Concepts in Mental Health Nursing

This course focuses on the theoretical basis necessary for understanding mental health and illness. Students utilize the nursing process in the care of patients experiencing interference in meeting basic needs due to neurobiological and psychosocial problems. This course continues to build on the five core educational competencies of the curriculum: (a) caring interventions, (b) clinical competence and decision-making, (c) communication, (d) commitment to professionalism and (e) collaboration and management of care. Emphasis is placed on developing therapeutic communication skills, self-awareness, and effective nurse-patient relationships. Students collaborate with the healthcare team in a mental health clinical setting and begin to develop the core competencies necessary to achieve desired client outcomes. Psychopharmacology across the lifespan and concepts of medication management are integrated in each unit. Community experiences, selected videos, role-play, and simulation activities are incorporated into this course. There are clinical experiences in acute-care inpatient mental health facilities and in selected community settings. Students must complete this course with a grade of "C" or higher. Lab fee required.

High Impact Practices (HIPs) are research-based instructional practices that promote active learning and real-world application, empowering students to achieve higher levels of academic and personal growth. Experiential and Work-Based Learning HIPs provide a course focused on immersive real-world experiences. This includes Clinicals, Internships, Practicums, and Work-Based Learning, where students apply theoretical knowledge in real-world environments under professional supervision. These experiences provide students with the opportunity to gain firsthand experience in their chosen career paths, often accompanied by coaching and structured reflection. Florida’s work-based learning statutes define the necessary conditions for meaningful student engagement in real-world tasks. These practices emphasize dialogue, critical reflection, and feedback from supervisors, allowing students to apply their learning to authentic challenges and present their findings publicly. Whether students are working in healthcare, education, business, or other fields, this practice is essential for bridging academic concepts with practical application, enhancing career readiness.
