I thought the Mental Nurse readership might be interested to know that WISH’s campaign against the smoking restrictions in mental health inpatient units, Stubbing Out Our Rights, has been launched this week.

I’ve just finished my second long day in a row (12 hours). What do I do? Seaneen writer of http://thesecretlifeofamanicdepressive.wordpress.com/ wants to become a mental health nurse or “Lunatic attendant” as we used to be called.
