Am I just burning out?

Published

Maybe I am just getting tired and need a break....I don't know but it seems to me that too many people are being admitted for "Bi-Polar" disorder when it looks like a case of bad behavior, poor judgment or "medicated" with the wrong mixture at the time......

what in the world did all these people do before this diagnosis???

Now your see it on TV all the time....if you have these symptoms, you could be bi-polar....etc. etc.....heck, we can all relate to some of these symptoms....anyone agree with me or am I just in need of a break?

I have decided to work PRN in another setting to get my bearings again......too much psych for me at this time.....I do enjoy it but with all that is going on at my facility (new owners, new DON, radical changes that don't make any sense) it is adding to my frustration....

thanks to all on forum for feedback......

You are most welcome.

When you take care of yourself, everyone benefits.

When I worked psych (inpt/outpt), I usually worked in some non-psych related nursing too. Balance is good.

My best to you.

The diagnosis should guide the course of treatment....not the treatment guiding the diagnosis.

PREACH IT Brothah! so true...
