Well everyone takes the same nursing program to work in a variety of places weather its a nursing home, health clinic, or psychiatric hospital!. However, for most of the nursing programs, you intern with the hospital you want to work with!. most have set up pre arangements as well with the school so that you get a job right out of graduation, since nursing is in high demand!.
You would intern during the summer at a psychiatric hospital, or the psychiatric wing of the regular hospital, and be assigned to a patient!. you will take notes, evaluate them, talk to them, and be there for them!. Your teacher or instructor will monitor everyone from afar and also come talk to the patient and see what notes you have taken and basically if your doing a good job, then give you tips on what to do!.
Its a very rewarding profession!. i know about all this because my first psychiatric hospitalization, i woke up to a person in red introducing herself!. i woke up and she followed me around, talked to me, really cared for me!. made a good friend that day and got a lot of help!. we even cried together when i explained my situation lol!. i guess thats the thing you cant prepare for is the bonding with patients!. but yeah, she was a nurse interning at the hospital!.
Good luck!. That nurse really saved my life!. And im sure you will save someone's too!.
Edit- Im pretty sure its roughly the same in all most countries!. all college's have a nursing program i thinkWww@Answer-Health@Com
