message: The Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRN) is not accurate or at least not in the US. The title is ARNP   Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner and I interact with them occasionally in my profession but have included a link for verification.--Dakota ~  ° 07:04, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: APRN

message: The title "Advanced Practice Registered Nurse" is a correct title granted to graduate prepared registered nurses majoring in an advanced practice role who successfully pass the American Nurse's Credentialing Center (ANCC) Examination to earn board certification as an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN).  The term "Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner" or ARNP, is a licensing designation used by some State Boards of Nursing to designate a nurse as a nurse practitioner.  The difference is that one term indicates advanced practice board certification by an accrediting body (ANCC) while the other term refers to a designation or license as a nurse practitioner in certain States. 199.91.34.33 17:42, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Correction 

message: This is an ongoing debate, certainly in mental health nursing in UK. I have changed the recent edits adding patient back to person as this is, in my view, a less loaded term. Patient infers medical model, which is not the model that all nurses work in or people with mental health problems wish to be nursed by. Person is, though, ambiguous so I have reworded to person in care but this is rather long. There is also the term service user to consider. Happy to debate this one until we reach a consensus. --Vince 13:22, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  [[WP:NURSE]] priority check 

message: The scope of the wikiproject medicine includes an interest in healthcare professions. The banner does not appear on the talk page for the article "Nursing". I wonder if the interest  amounts to active contribution on this article? Is  the banner a form of disruptive over-tagging? []  I would argue that that most mental health nurses are subject to seperate licensing, administration and education faculties. I feel that the article is remote from medicine to a degree that does not warrant the banner. Mental Health nurses are not generally doctors and vice versa. There are articles where the banner certainly belongs. There is a risk that such a banner could be mistaken for evidence that the article contains weighty medico-legal opinion. I welcome the collaboration of doctors and the right of wikipedia to define scope, but I think the banner suggests a relationship between medicine and mental health nursing professions not reflected in western society. 167.30.56.22 (talk) 02:29, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Psychiatric mental health nurses work in a variety of hospital and community settings.
People generally require an admission to hospital, voluntarily or involuntarily if they are experiencing a crisis- that means they are dangerous to themselves or others in some immediate way. However, people may gain admission for a concentrated period of therapy or for respite. Despite changes in mental health policy in many countries that have closed psychiatric hospitals, many nurses continue work in hospitals though patient length of stay has decreased significantly.
Community Nurses who specialize in mental health work with people in their own homes (case management) and will often emphasize work on mental health promotion. Psychiatric mental health nurses also work in rehabilitation settings where people are recovering from a crisis episode and where the aim is social inclusion and a return to living independently in society. These nurses are sometimes referred to as community psychiatric nurses (the term psychiatric has been retained, but is being gradually replaced with the title "Community Mental Health Nurse" or CMHN)).
Psychiatric mental health nurses also work in forensic psychiatry with people who have mental health problems and have committed crimes. Forensic mental health nurses work in adult prisons, young offenders' institutions, medium secure hospitals and high secure hospitals. In addition forensic mental health nurses work with people in the community who have been released from prison or hospital and require on-going mental health service support.
People in the older age groups who are more prone to dementia tend to be cared for apart from younger adults. Admiral Nurses are specialist dementia nurses, working in the community, with families, carers and supporters of people with dementia. The Admiral Nurse model was established as a direct result of the experiences of family carers. The Admiral nurse role is to work with family carers as their prime focus, provide practical advice, emotional support, information and skills, deliver education and training in dementia care, provide consultancy to professionals working with people with dementia and promote best practice in person- centred dementia care.
Psychiatric mental health nurses may also specialize in areas such as drug and alcohol rehabilitation, or child and adolescent mental health.

replies: text: Psychiatric and mental health nursing →  – Wrong use of a logical operator. It is "Mental health nursing" OR "Psychiatric health nursing" (either rename would be fine, please leave a redirect from one to the other). "Psychiatric AND Mental health nursing" is just inaccurate.
