Working in Psych and then being a patient in your unit!

Published

I am a Behavioral Health RN and eversince in Nursing school, I knew that that's what I always wanted to do, but sometimes, I hear comments from people saying: "Don't work too long in Psych, you might end up being a patient in your unit". Of course they say this in a joking manner. But I am just wondering, is there any basis for this one? Any comments? Just curious.

Specializes in telemetry, med-surg, home health, psych.

I agree, but not only nurses; many, many people I know have mental issues that they are not seeking help for......I see and can validate this more now that I have been working in psych.......Kudos to all that do seek help !!:yeah:
