No matter where you go, what you do, there will always be others trying to bring negativity into your life. Surrounding yourself with positive people who understand your situation is the best action you can take. By looking at these comments in just a short amount of time after your post, it's obvious you're not the only one who has been in this position. Know yourself, because that's the only person who matters. p.s. I can almost guarantee those co-workers were talking about someone else the next day, and someone else the day after that, and then about each other to another co-worker after that!

My advice would be to STOP WORRYING SO MUCH!! You obviously have the credentials to be an amazing psych nurse, and most interviews I have had for psych units and been like any other nursing interview except with a question about therapeutic communication, which you know about. You'll do great.

5 Haldol 2 Ativan is the most common combo I've seen. And as you stated always something to control the EPS. I was speaking with a coworker the other day who is a long time psych nurse at a particular hospital, so she is familiar with a lot of the patients. She told me one particular patient has actually built up the tolerance to normally receive 40mg Haldol!! Just thought that was interesting. I'm looking into becoming a Psych NP and I just don't think I would be comfortable prescribing that much medication to anybody.

Hey guys! Are most of you from the Oshkosh area? I am about to graduate from the traditional program (1 week from today!), but happen to know many people who have gone through the accelerated program. I also have built great relationships with a lot of the excel instructors through school organizations (they have actually helped me get interviews at local hospitals). The point I'm trying to get at, if you are planning on applying to the excel, or traditional, program and would like to get involved in some of these organizations (and network with a lot of instructors), shoot me a message and maybe I can help.
