I'm wondering is counselling involved as a psychiatric nurse? I am an INFJ I know for myself what interested me in to possibly change into this field is the interaction with patients and the hospital and medical environment. And I have some courses t...

Try it, if you dedicate yourself to the nursing program as you would with any activity you are good at and passionate about. You will succeed. If you failed at least you tried, no regrets or what if's and no one will tell you about the program, becau...

It may feel that way, if the job market in that degree is really bad. I guess you can turn that interest into a great hobby. I feel this happens lots with arts degrees.

ER in Vancouver, so interestingl!!

Will picking to enroll in a psychiatric nursing program close one's opportunities to work in ER and hospital environments? such as VGH and UBC is it better to get a BSN to become an RN instead. I thought about psychiatric nursing due to volunteer, ...

why would the LPN positions and care aide positions be considered the most vulnerable in health care.

that can't be good. thanks for the article. this quote stood out to me "Salken says some families are hiring nurses from outside agencies to look after loved ones in hospital because of the level of care."

I really feel it for the OP, I am in the same boat in a way with criminology, but I am starting to find out this is the reality, being an adult is no easy thing. All jobs have their cons and pros, just thought I would add my two cents, since what sh...

I can hear the first part of your concern, I am a male and thinking about nursing. I come from a background where family members were at high levels of health care and the from the bottom. Yes there may be some staff that will that may want you to do...

Well then, that is what I am talking about. I don't know Alberta's situation or Ontario, but I know my family was effected by these cuts , because they were a care aide a job that does not pay very well for the amount of work they do. and Gordon Cam...

what about BC? was not asking about ON or AB,

I would do my best to stay in BC, maybe I would go to Alberta as well.

I see, that is also an interesting unit.

I thought you were from BC this entire time lol.

Is this in BC? show me some articles. Not trying to cause a stir, I know people that have worked in both positions. Took awhile for them to get a job as a LPN in BC , particularly the lower mainland. There were massive cuts in health care in BC when ...

perhaps, I am not familiar with Alberta's health care system, can't be super different I assume.

Very insightful post, love it! the bold areas are where I would like to work. I did not know an RN can work in mental health settings, I thought only a registered psych nurse could do that. But yeah great post it answered my question about whether a ...

Psych emergency looks fascinating and would like to know more about the psych assessment unit. Honestly I want to see myself work in psych ER and if I can't handle that, then maybe an outpatient setting or community health there is a lot to do. In r...

Don't blame yourself. Mistakes happen, it's how we learn we are not robots. I would go see a counselor to talk it out.

haha Juice!

I say this about CPI because when I was in school or through volunteer, the psychologists/counselors would be very adamant about CPI working. Ex- if the patient was told by the nurse to take the medication and the patient refused, the counselor sai...

anyone going to douglas and lives in Vancouver??

I am all for CPI, but I feel it's naive to think it will work all the time.

Yes I think they will be around for many years to come. But if you can, be an RN.

I am a guard, currently. There are guards that monitor the patient and report their activity and behavior they get a chair sit and observe, but not allowed to physically do anything that is what the other security team is for. And the guard that si...
