nurses in mental health

[chipchipperson]

i'm new here and i live in ontario. I am wondering what kind of positions are there for an RN in mental health? Are there nurse practioners? What about rpn's? I've looked all over the internet and I have found little information on nurses in mental health in canada. What courses would I have to take? Any information is appreciated

It would totally depend on the unit you work in. I worked as a clinical assistant at the local hospital here on the 22 bed inpatient psychiatric unit, completed staffed with RNs and RPNs. I do know that CAMH hires them as well.
