Mental health nursing l
Hi everyone I’m really interested in studying mental health nursing the only problem is I have fibromyalgia and I’m worried the placements would be painful. Can any adjustments be made in this situation? I suffer with chronic pain some days so the long placement days seem really intimidating

All healthcare courses require a medical/ occupational health screening prior to commencement of studies…it may or may not mean that you would be eligible to continue . Reasonable adjustments for disabilities are far, far more common than when I started in healthcare many years ago but some health conditions are just not compatible with nursing I’m afraid…I’m not a nurse but have had to leave the NHS due to health issues and have seen numerous colleagues do the same, as the NHS can be very poor at “looking after their own”. If you contact the uni’s you are interested in ( you can also speak to their disability services) as there should be info about the process that is followed to clear you for enrolment and for what sort of reasonable adjustments that can be made.
