Tina Curtis, Registered Psychiatric Nurse
My Future
Career opportunities
Quite a high number of people visit their family doctor with mental health problems. Psychiatric nurses are always going to be needed.
There's always going to be a place for us and within the system and there are all kinds of different things a psychiatric nurse can do. You can work in geriatrics, with adolescents or adults, or even in addictions. You can work in the community, you can work in an office like I do or you can work on an inpatient unit.
