psych nursing interview HELP!

Yep, behavioral questions. I'm sure you won't do too bad, I'm sure you have taken care of a psych pt a time or two on med/surg

Familiarize yourself with: your state's legal-holds codes, such as 5150, DTS/DTO/GD, 24 hour, 72 hour holds, 14 day holds, conservatorship status, pt.'s rights, using restraints on pt.'s {different in psych facilities then other medical facilities.}

thank you - would not have thought like that :)

Those silly behavioral questions are actually preferred because it involves what you actually Have done in a particular situation, or even how you might have learned from it as opposed to imagining what you would do.

I'd ask about therapeutic communication, ways of dealing with challenging patients (and staff), you ability to delegate and manage support staff. Also your ability to deescalate patients, and your philosophy of emergency meds, seclusion, restraints, etc

oh thank you sooo much mrchicago rn :)
