Psychiatric

You’ll love it if you want psych patients attacking you, PCT’s and sitters. It’s a fun game if you want to have PTSD. Favoritism is a thing- management is a joke unless you hang out and drink with them on the weekends. They tell you 1:4 ratios but will move your patients to hallway rooms and give you up to 1:6 even if you have a 1 to 1 ICU patient with 2-5 min titrating drips. You don’t get to eat, barely get to pee  and your mental health will decline with a vengeance.
