New Courses in Kerry College

We have two very exciting new additions this year. They are part of the new National Tertiary Office degree programme. We will be running the following:

BSc (Hons) in Mental Health Nursing

The aim of mental health nursing is to promote mental health and wellness, to plan with, support and provide nursing care to people who suffer from mental illness and mental distress, and to support families and communities in dealing with mental health challenges.

This care can be provided in acute care facilities such as hospitals, in peoples own homes and community care settings. Supporting on-going mental health recovery is an important role of being a mental health nurse.

BSc (Hons) in General Nursing

The general nursing programme will enable you to develop the knowledge, skills and aptitude to provide nursing care in a variety of general settings. It emphasises the importance of working with other professions and planning individualised nursing care in partnership with patients.

Our focus is on caring, communication and understanding the patient’s experience of health and illness.
