Leaving Psych

I have spent the majority of my health care career working in psych. But because of things occurring on the unit I cannot support I am leaving psych. Amazingly I was able to find a floor position who was willing to give me a chance (I had been looking for almost a year, off and on). I will miss the population but I will not miss chaos of the unit.

    Congratulations on the new opportunity. I have known some who are quick to return and others who never look back but I hope this is what you are looking for with regard to a positive change. I'm sure we can all related to the frustrations, challenges and in most states pathetically limited resources that are predominant in mental health today. Best wishes.

    i can see me eventually going back. Not the same hospital (if same manager/dr) but who knows what the future will hold.

    When I left psych I thought I wouldn't be back so I let my ANCC cert lapse. That was a mistake.

    Best of Luck to you!
