Are so many years from when i didn't look over any psychology or psychiatry books... or just flying couple of pages. In this time I was around with A LOT of kukuness people, like patients and not only, but ever was so many psychopaths like now....... From couple of days I started again to study... again...because I need to figure out how to act with them.
Psychopathology is an amazing field... and belive me or not I never wanted to work in this field like now, lol, , or may be not in this style of work, lol
Trying to setup the limits of behavior with these type of people, I was going to beginning to PCL-R Factor 1, versus PCL-R Factor 2, for Dx and I try to uderstand where is happen and what is happen with them but was wortless.
I need help from you, now. I don't have a soo deep training in, and I feel just overhelmed to work with them and tired to verify my back all the time or to untwist them twisted actions.
I know that setup the limits of the behaviors with these type of personalities, could help some how...but they broke the rules all the time, they don't obey to any, and mess all around, they try to setup them own rules instead of social ones, offer rationalisations for each and every action....
I am just tired with them...did you ever worked with psychopaths/sociopaths... please help me with a professional attitude that you need to have with them.
How you could set-up limits, what you need to say to them, to do, to work with them, to interact with them, how you document all, where you need to adress your issues related them...... IS MY WORK, i love nursing and could not resign now...but I am not prepared for that .... here....
Is somewhere a traing course for nurses who work with psychopats, sociopaths? Please help me! Thanks!
Knowing your limitations is wise. General psych can be challenging. But working with sociopathic and conduct disordered folks is really tough because these are people who do not connect in healthy ways. You end up spending so much of your time and energy practicing defensive nursing that there is very little left for any kind of therapeutic interaction.
Glad to see that you are going to move to an area where you feel safer and more comfortable.
Best wishes, Zuzi.

Totally agree with you I need OUT from here ASAP! Personality disorders need special people to handle them... and belive me I am not the nurse to play psych nursing "thinking with my soul" or singing a song....lol, is NONPROFESSIONAL. People with personality disorders need a special assesment, aspecial plan of care, a special type of care and agreement... I just could not deal with it playing nursing with heart... and to going home burnout after a day when I tried to not be manipulated 5 by 5 minute, like nurse, for couple of more meds when is not the time for it, or to break some medical rules, just to give the patient the sense of self control... IS NOT ME! I could not work with this type of people! Or I could not work if I don't have a CLEAR plan of care and rules, protocol to be treated these special patients. I don't have one patinet... I have many others...plus couple of coworkers, lol, if each and every wants to smartess just a little...is enough to mess the life of all others. WE NEED to have rules and boundaries and fallow it. YOu respect yours I respect mine. Not try to take advantage of me because I look weak or I try to help... is just how I am. Trying to smartness me even I explained you the logicals behind the decision, is the first sign that somenthing is wrong in your brain.
I am so tired that I shaking... I need normal people...
