Department of Mental Health Nursing
Psychiatric nursing, commonly referred to as mental health nursing, is a sub specialty of nursing practice that focuses on providing care to patients suffering from mental health disorders in order to aid in their recovery and enhance their quality of life. The goal of the mental health nursing program is to shape students into mental health nurses who can work in a range of settings, such as community mental health services, acute medical units, psychiatric intensive care units, and child and adolescent mental health services, and who can provide care for people of all ages who are experiencing mental illnesses or distress. Academic offerings include nursing UG and PG programs.
Together with Christ – the mind healer, mental health nursing personnel actively seek for the excellence in nursing education, clinical research and leadership related to mental health needs of individual, family and community.
Raising the dignity of mentally ill through compassionate love and quality care.
The Department of Psychiatric Nursing is the driving force behind students’ advancement towards both their undergraduate and specialty degrees. In the clinical setting, the focus is on helping patients recover from mental health issues and enhance their overall well-being. When addressing a range of issues with patients’ differing levels of insight, they employ themselves as a therapeutic tool. Participating in extracurricular activities in the mental health domains aids in the development of their personalities and guides them toward social obligations.
