Nursing in mental illness
Nursing in mental health is done by a specialised mental health nurse suitable and eligible to take care of people of every age experiencing distress or mental disorder (Tsuzaki, et al., 2018). There should be specific training for psychological therapies, establishing therapeutic alliance and how to deal with challenging behaviour and administration of psychiatric medications taught during training mental health nursing practices (Fleig-Palmer & Rathert, 2015). Bachelor’s degree to become a registered nurse (RN) and specializing in mental health is required.

Rationale of my choice of nursing
Working within bounds of capability, working out specialized ‘duty of candour’ and levitation concern for patients or public safety at risk are possible in nursing practices (Giger, 2014). Necessary action can be taken for concerns, uphold reputation of profession every time. Exhibiting individual commitment to morals of implementation and conduct as set in the Code proves honesty and management in the nursing care practice for others to aspire to. Beginning to develop faith and assurance from patients, people getting care, healthcare specialists, and public are reasons inspiring nursing as profession. Exploring professional values like ethical practices, maintain standard of healthcare and safety norms during communication raise awareness for suitable practice (Ha
ison, 2010). Devotion to services, learning lifelong and quality improvement as per the code of National Midwifery services were followed during communication. Nursing practice act allows nursing to people having license and training certifications only.

Nursing skill undertaken in practice
In order to outline the specific nursing skill undertaken in practice, I have mentioned the communication skills which had applied during my nursing care practice for mental disorder patient. Following the NMC code, 2015, the name of the mental disorder patient is Sandy. At first, I focussed on understanding the personal history of Sandy and the reasons for his mental disorder. Accessing the electronic record system there was evidences of Sandy’s dementia problem found (Burgel, 2018).

According to me, this behaviour demonstrated that she was puzzled and had reached out hopes of getting treatment and care to recover her mental state. Based on this, I felt it compulsory to begin building a therapeutic relationship whereby I listened and spent time engaging in activities she enjoyed, in order to promote her participation in living.
