Hi... so I have a passion inside me at this point to enter the mental health nursing field. I am gointo be a family NP, but before that would like to do child/adolescent or high-functioning adult psych nursing. In nursing school I HATED psych nursing rotation, but t's because I had demons in my closet I had never faced. I am facing them at this point... working through a new dx of BP II disorder and just had my very first inpatient psych admission which was frightening and necessary at the same time. I really think this is something I need to do but am wried that I'm only interested because I am now in acceptance of my mental illness. Anyone have input here? Is this a bad thing? SHould I steer clear of psych nursing b/c of my hx? Thanks for your input.
