So I work at a state psych facility. Im a young, male RN and im charge on a unit with only men (generally lower functioning, older men).
I've worked med/surg, LTC, now psych. I love it. Good work flow, not too stressful, pretty chill job. So tonight, I have an agency LPN who's passing meds with me. We get to talking and she said she works at a local hospital in med/surg. Well I said "ew, no thanks, too stressful for me. Always understaffed with too much to do." She replied "well, I love it. Ive always loved being a real nurse. Im not a psych nurse."
Now, the OLD me would have popped off and said something smart (ex army). I just let it roll off my back. What would YOU have said?
Specializes in Peds/outpatient FP,derm,allergy/private duty.
totally right.that was my intended meaning- i screwed up on the spelling- i stand corrected:).
in a way i'm disappointed because like purple scrubs i was thinking about antlers and nurses and had a few moose and caribou jokes rattling around in my mind . . ."i still don't see what this has to do with an elk"
sorry katie5 i'm rem sleep deprived . . . :/ trying to recover from an acute case of off topic.

Ok, this has become very much Off Topic, but extremely entertaining. I'm afraid that the "elk" is here to stay. Thank you for the commentary.
