New grad with a job in a psychiatric facility - Page 2

Congrats! I just started my first job in psych today. Like you, I always felt extremely called to psych and did my practicum in it. I am working in the community on an ACT team, and am looking forward to growing into my new role.

Yea!!!! I too was lucky to land a job in BH on a ltc unit. I was surprised during the interview to learn that ltc was different in behavioral health. I have pts from 20 something to 70 something. Much different than when I was a LPN in a ltc facility where most of my residents were over 70. Took some getting used to but I'm still loving it and it's been about 2yrs now
