A year ago, I told my 21-year old self that I would walk down the road to psychiatric nursing if I got the highest score in the fifth part of the test. Unfortunately I didn't so that plan kind of been set aside though not completely eliminated. I was just amazed at how the human mind worked and another factor that contributed was the lecture we had way back in college. Our teachers in "pychia", were excellent and very passionate about the subject that I couldn't help but consider it my favorite field of nursing. Our reviewer was just one of a kind. However It took time (10 months to be exact) for me to get a head start, plans don't always work. Sometimes you get stuck in unfavorable situations until slowly they become tolerable and they end up being your norm.
It's been a week now since I've been working on this mental care center. I saw theories translated into actual situations. I got my fair share of shock when a patient just lashes out , out of the blue, or how you train yourself to keep your eyes open for that suicidal mother or how you had to sit through a never ending narration of a manic 24- year old.
The experience is entirely different from that of a traditional hospital. I just sometimes feel disappointed because I wanted to have more responsibility and less idle moments.
Idle moments just pushes me off the spectrum sometimes. Reducing idle time is what I'm aiming for, is it just me?
I want to finish this, I plan to but with a fickle heart like mine I do not know if I will still be rendering psychiatric care to the society-labeled mentally ill for the next six months.
