Specialties Psychiatric

Published

Hey everyone I just got hired as a psych nurse at this hospital they have children, adolescent adult and geriatric psych. I don't know which one to pick :/ kinda confused. I have med surg experience and like working with adults but don't have any child or adolescent experience and don't know whether I will like working with the younger population. Where do you think I should start out?

I really want to take the detox position so badly but it's a diff hospital new everything to me :/

I joined the club too :) I put my notice in today I've joined a local inpatient psych facility. I really excited, it's working with children. Med surg isn't for me !!! Good luck, life is too short to be unhappy.
