I have already accepted my offer from UoN to do mental health nursing this year. However I'm beginning to worry about something. When I have told nurses I work with (they are mostly general nurses) they said I should have done adult nursing and then specialised in mental health afterwards, as it will make me a better nurse.
I chose mental health branch as I am more interested in psychological illness and wellbeing. Is it possible to do adult and then specialise, if so then why does mental health branch nursing even exist?
