I've been a tele nurse for a few years, and I want change. I'm considering doing psych as a loved it in school. I'll keep a PRN tele position to keep my skills up, so that's not a concern. My concern is the affect that psych has on your home life. Everyone jokes around saying that psych nurses eventually blend in with the patients. Is there truth to this? Does psych bring out the craziness in you? Has psych changed the way you act with friends and loved ones?
