I love my team

[03RN]

I'm a nurse in a psych hospital. I came to nursing recently and I have a background in Marine Corps infantry and commercial fishing. I've always had really good teams.

1/3 were rockstars in Fallujah.

Working with my skipper for a decade really taught me a lot.

And my current team of nurses and staff that I rely on really do a good job. I've been charge pretty much all the time, even over more experienced nurses and I've gotten pretty stressed over our chaos but we manage.

Yeah, there's always a few that really make me want to put my head through a wall but really, I am so lucky to have such a great team.

We had 8 restraints tonight on my unit with more next door that we responded to. No patients were hurt, no staff were injured. A big patient got a few hits to my head but really didn't do any damage.

Everyone did a really good job managing chaos tonight.

I can't say everyone left with a smile but I gave lots of high fives and hugs and everyone seemed in good space.

Good job guys.

That's rough work. Thanks for what you do.

My ex-wife was (and I assume is) a psych nurse. She continually tried to get me to go down that path but the stories she told made it clear it wasn't for me. Good on you, that's a tough job.

I opted to go down the progressive care/stepdown route. We still have to bust out the haldol from time to time, but I have the most massive respect for the inpatient psych nurses who respond when we have a patient who is experiencing a full blown break from reality and is getting wild.

Y'all are awesome.

What can I say, I feel at home.

The only difference between the staff and the patients...who has keys.

Keep up the good work!

One of my best bicycling buddies worked in a state psych hospital. After hearing about his day, I could hardly complain about my day.

I typically walk out of the building in a good mood. A coworker asked me why I was always so happy. I quickly responded that no one shot me. Pretty much every day is a good day when you've picked bullets out of your plate before.
