  1. New Grad going into Mental Health??

    gzussu replied to anymeans2014's topic in Psychiatric

    One benefit of being in mental health, at least from my experience from 2 jobs......you sure as hell will build leadership skills a lot quicker. I don't know how the private sector operates, but at...

  2. To all my non-hospital nurses

    gzussu replied to laKrugRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I hated med/surg clinicals during school. I just knew it wasn't for me. I wasn't bored with it. I was actually terrified of it. Psych clinical was boring as all hell but I figured it was a better fit...

  3. I think I might be offered the job?

    gzussu replied to NicuRN628's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Congratulations!!!! It is so refreshing to hear that recent grads are finding jobs a lot more easier now. Three interviews immediately afterwards. That is so awesome. When I graduated, the economy was...

  4. Doing away with Scrubs

    gzussu replied to Kcwestportboy's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I'm in psych and I love that I don't have to wear scrubs. I hate wearing scrubs. But if I was in medical, I sure as hell would not want to wear my street clothes. NO

  9. Should mental health nursing be grouped with addictions nursing?

    gzussu replied to hatchit's topic in Addictions

    Absolutely not. So many times we will have a sudden influx of substance abusers who end up turning the unit into a jail house type of environment. The true psych patients will start to decomp because...

  10. Detox nursing is sucking the life out of me

    gzussu replied to number41's topic in Addictions

    I'm a psych nurse but our unit is more of a substance abuse floor than psych floor. I hate it. Eighty percent of the pts are substance abuse while the minority are true psych pts. It's a joke. I...

  11. Contact

    gzussu replied to Parannor's topic in Addictions

    Not kosher at all. I can understand how you feel. We are discharging a patient who I have so much hope for and care so much for and when I had to say bye to him, I was so damn sad. I want to maintain...
