Welcome to Our Class Blog!

Greetings and welcome to our Class Blog. I look forward to reading your reflections about Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing. The weekly blog entries should be posted by the due dates listed on Blackboard. I will post the weekly assignment. To post individual responses, students should click on the word, "comments" then write in the comment window to the weekly assignment. Blogging is not Discussion Board. Students are expected to reflect on the weekly posting each week. Students are encouraged to read other students' comments. You do not have to respond by commenting to classmates. These are your thoughts. This is a closed blog thus only students enrolled in NURS 432 will have access to this Blog by email invitation. Our confidentiality rule applies to all class bloggers. Please be mindful that scholarly writing is expected. You may refer to our class Blackboard for more detail about this Clinical Activity under Assignment.

Week 2



While I am familiar with Blogs I have not written or participated in any until now. However, I do read them. I like the concept of blogs because I am interested in another person’s perspective, when it comes to multiple topics and what that persons experience can teach me. Psych Congress (http://www.psychcongress.com) is a website that provides the latest information to health care providers and professionals. Topics such as schizophrenia, anxiety, suicide and ADHD are considered to be the top trending topics discussed on the website. The website is inviting and easy to navigate. The website's Blog spot encourages readers and bloggers to post their viewpoints and comments. The website is sponsored by The North American Center for Continuing Medical Education (NACCME).

    Internet is a vast source of information and it’s amazing how the solutions of basic life issues are just a click away. After searching the internet on psychiatric nursing, I came across a lot of educative blogs but the one that caught my attention was that of Dr. Leslie Durr, PhD, RN, PMHCNS-BC, it is called PsycCongress Network. She wrote her personal experience with a client titled “A Nurse’s Holistic Approach to Mental Health”. She expounded on the fact that Psychiatric nurses must use their holistic knowledge to adequately provide care to clients, she talks about an incident that happened with her client Mary, and she was depressed but was leaving at home with a large family.
    The feedbacks on the psychiatric blogs were very positive, most people found them extremely interesting and helpful.

    Blogging is very interesting to me even if I was not really myself participating in any. People can really share their point of view, experiences or concerns on a blog. For example Apa.org has a website where people can blog for mental health. Patients, caregivers and even psychologist are using blogs and social media to help each other and themselves. As mental health experts, psychologists have also become avid bloggers, writing to educate people about mental health conditions and sometimes working through their own mental health challenges.
