Thanks for your great answer.

thanks for sharing your such a great clinical experience!

Hi, I am a year 3 nursing student. In this year we have surgical acute clinical placement, mental health placement (which includes acute psychiatric ward and community rotation), and elective placement. I have passed surgical placement but failed mental health placement. I got good comments from RN mentors of community settings but at my final week of the psychiatric acute ward, I didn't do well. My RNMs said I lack initiatives and my communication was poor. In order to be prepared well for next time, do you have any advice to pass this paper? It is easy to show my passion and initiatives on the surgical or medical ward but for mental health nursing how can I show initiatives in the ward? Really appreciate if you could give some study tips for surviving mental health clinicals.
