Hi! I graduated nurse school six years ago and except for brief stint i addiction care I've worked solely at a psychiatric care facility. Since 4 years I work only nights. At night I have 36 mentaly ill patients and pretty much no other nurse or doctor to talk to. There is very rarely any critical somatic events. Pretty much everything revolves around keeping my patients sleeping or handle mania, suicidal / agressive or violent behaviour. Problem is that I now feel I'm forgetting more and more about what I learned in nursing school. For example pretty basical knowledge like anatomy, physiology, medicine (not specific for psychiatry). I'm sure I'm not alone with this problem. If you are in a situation like mine, could you please inform me about how you keep your knowledge fresh and up to date? What websites do you use? Do you know about lectures to view on youtube? A simple solution would of course be to work part time at a somatic ward or re-read litterature / notes from school and such. This is impossible for me for a couple of reasons I cant share with you at the moment. English is not my first language and I live in europe so please excuse my spelling and grammar ;-) With kind regards sskhh
