I’m a behavioral health nurse and I love it ! Each day is different as you don’t really know what gonna go down on the unit: I work on a primarily detox floor so I do get to use some nursing skills ,
are you still working at the same place ? :) i'm a new grad nurse, starting off at a behavioral health hospital + med surg unit, i am excited and nervous to start but i know the Lord will be with me and help me in my nursing career and to take care of these patients! how are you?
Thanks for making this video! I’m a second career nursing student who works on a medsurg floor as a PCT. I have realized that I think I might want to be a psych nurse. I used to be an elementary school teacher, and I had multiple kids throughout the years who should have been receiving psych services. Maybe adolescent psych is for me.
You're very welcome. I worked mental health for years. Pediatrics, Adolescents, Adults, Geriatrics. Substance abuse, STAR. Let me know if you have any questions. It's a great field for the right nurse.
Do you recommend any good resources for perfecting therapeutic communication? I’m a former ER nurse & you’d think I have this down but psych is a whole different realm. ❤ & thanks for this video- very helpful!!
So trust n ty I work in psych for almost 20 years as a technician and about to start nursing school hopefully this year 🙏🏽💯❤️so important everything u said

“Most nurses suck at therapeutic communication” lmao finally someone said it!!!
Bro is speaking on calming a patient down while having the speaking voice of Luther Vandross at .5 speed.
