The picture on the box

Many years ago, back when Adam first met Eve and a good Saturday night out involved hunting dinosaurs on the High street, I enrolled as a student nurse. To say the course was bewildering at times would be an understatement. I found myself learning all sorts of disparate facts and principles but I had real trouble making sense of how they all might fit together. What I needed was an overview: a way to make sense of it all. I needed ‘the picture on the box’ to help me complete the jigsaw of mental health nurse training. Unfortunately no such overview existed. That’s why I’ve developed my own. This series of videos won’t make anyone an expert but it will give you the basic grounding you need to make sense of further learning.
