Good on you for wanting to do mental health! There are not many people out there who feels they can work in that field of nursing.

I work as a nurse in a busy emergency department and we see a lot of mental health patients. It is quite daunting at times and a bit scary.

I suggest you work as a nurse for a couple of years first then decide if you still want to do mental health. The best way to gain experience in mental health is by working in emergency. You will gain plenty of experience and it will help you get some of that authority you feel u might lack. I hope that makes sense

Good luck xx
