Undergraduate Education Faculty Toolkit
Defining and Using Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing Skills in Undergraduate Nursing Education
Our students live and learn in a multimedia environment. Often their most memorable lessons are not from simple reading assignments. College classrooms have become more interactive, with content provided from a variety of sources and experiences. This toolkit is meant to guide the educator toward some new ways to teach the concepts of psychiatric-mental health nursing as set forth in both the Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice (2014) and the Essentials of Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing in the BSN Curriculum (2008). This toolkit has been a two year journey compiling real ideas and resources that expert educators rely on to supplement their traditional psychiatric-mental health nursing text. We of the APNA Education Council, Undergraduate Branch, hope that these tools can help to make the education process a little easier.
