I am excited to have a placement in the Mental Health and Addictions Program at Grand River Hospital, leveraging my academic background and passion for mental health to contribute to patient care and gain practical experience in a clinical setting. This particular placement offers a unique opportunity to work within a multidisciplinary team and provide comprehensive care to patients. I will bring a solid foundation of knowledge in mental health nursing and hands-on experience from my previous placement. My skills in patient assessment, care plan development and therapeutic communication will be valuable in providing high-quality care. Additionally, I work well under the pressure. I hope to enhance my clinical skills, my critical thinking skill and gain deeper insights into the complexities of mental health and addiction treatment. My primary learning goals include developing advanced strategies for crisis intervention, improving my ability to create and implement effective care plans, and learning from experienced professionals in the field. At the end, I have some questions for you: What are the specific responsibilities and expectations for students in this placement? Are there any particular areas or projects within the program where you see a significant need for student involvement?
