Practical advice for nurses who care for people with mental health conditions across all acute settings

We started our roles as newly registered nurses in intensive care (ICU) in September 2022. We are passionate about the healthcare of our patients, and in January 2023 we began writing a mental health guide for critical care nurses. In ICU, we see many patients with pre-existing mental health conditions or who have been admitted to the unit as a result of a mental health crisis or addiction-related illness.
