Mental health nurses, also called psychiatric mental health (PMH) nurses, are registered nurses who specialize in caring for patients of all ages with mental health, psychiatric, or behavioral disorders. They work closely with their patients, forming strong therapeutic relationships and striving to help them manage their mental illnesses and improve their quality of life. According to the American Psychiatric Nurses Association, PMH nursing is the fastest growing non-physician specialty in healthcare.

Mental health nurses may hold Basic Life Support (BLS), Nonviolent Crisis Intervention (NCI-CPI), Nonviolent Crisis Intervention with Advanced Physical Skills Training (NCI-Advanced-CPI), Verbal Intervention (VI-CPI) or Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse - Board Certified (PMH-BC), among others.
