Hi I'm a student nurse in New Zealand and I'm on placement in a forensic psych unit at the moment. I'm just wondering why there is no Mental health forum listed (or am I going blind)

There is a psychiatric nursing forum and a forensic nurse forum but I don't see a forensic psych forum. Don't know why but I know the forensic psych nurses are out there.

Yes, it's there -- it's just called psychiatric nursing instead of mental health nursing. It's listed under "P" in the listing of specialty forums under the "Specialty" tab at the top of the page, and here is the direct link:
