Continue current masters or do Msc mental health nursing?
User: yasminkaye - 18 August 2024 23:33
For context - I have a Bachelors of Science in Psychology with a good grade (2:1) in the UK. Last September I began a Msc Counselling course and have enjoyed placement. However I am finding myself frustrated feeling I am not making as much of an impact on individuals as I wish to.
Since graduating in Psychology I have worked as a healthcare assistant in a forensic psychiatric hospital for 2 years and enjoy this and could potentially see myself working as a mental health nurse, however can also see myself getting burnt out quickly in such a role. I also notice how mental health nurses often have more of a ‘administrative’ role in the wards rather than spending more time and communicating with patients as you do with counselling.
However, I am aware of the security nurses have within the job market and not having to worry about available roles out there. This is something I do worry about with Counselling. I suppose I am looking for advice which is the best path to go down? The mental health nursing course would be 2 years for me (Msc) 😕 Another worry of this is feeling I have ‘wasted’ my Psychology degree which I worked really hard for.
Thanks!

I know this decision feels tough. Nursing offers job security but more admin work, while counselling allows deeper connections but less stability. Your Psychology degree supports both paths. Talking to professionals in each field might help. For calm and clarity, reading سورة الانفطار is helpful—you can find it here: https://surah-al-waqiah.com/al-infitar/. It’s a great reminder that every step has meaning. Stay patient—you’re heading the right way!

Hi there,
It sounds like you're torn between passion and stability — a common and valid conflict. Counselling offers deeper personal impact, while mental health nursing provides more job security but can feel more administrative.
Your Psychology degree is notIn
Trust your instincts — both paths are valuable and needed.

Surah Al-Waqiah is the 56th chapter of the Holy Quran. The word Al-Waqiah means “The Inevitable Event,” which refers to the Day of Judgment. This Surah was revealed in Makkah and contains 96 verses. It clearly explains the reality of the Hereafter and describes how people will be divided into three groups on the Day of Resurrection: the people of the right hand, the people of the left hand, and those who are foremost in faith.
Surah Al-Waqiah highlights the power of Allah by mentioning His creations such as human life, crops, water, and fire. It reminds humans that this worldly life is temporary and that everyone will be held accountable for their deeds. This Surah strengthens belief in the Hereafter and encourages gratitude, faith, and obedience to Allah. Many Muslims recite Surah Al-Waqiah regularly because it is associated with blessings and spiritual benefits.
