I’m currently in my first year on a med surg floor and am considering making the switch to psych.

Thanks! :)

I have worked in peds BH before. Probably my least favorite - but I'm just not a peds nurse at heart.
This was at a stand alone psych facility that had units for peds, adults, detox, and high/low functioning individuals.
Most of the diagnoses I saw for child/adolescent was oppositional defiant disorder. Think very rowdy grade/high school kids. Pair that with budding puberty and you get a lot of sneakiness, probably codes, and frequent lock downs to separate boys/girls. This was about 10 years ago. Not sure how things are dealt with now. My saddest day in nursing was when we had to restrain a 5 year old. As RN, you need to be authoritative but also approachable. Many of these kids are coming from questionable/abusive environments, and if they are frequent flyers you'll need to be that anchor in that kid's life.

Hmm. First of all, you need to have a lot of patience and tolerance. That was my first job before switching to adult psych. The latter has more job opportunities than the peds.

Trying to orchestrate a career pivot out of accounting. For 5 tough years self employed. Stellar ed, GPA, and past accounting roles. MBA.

And the thought of a potential upcoming recession means, what, I will be 60 when I will have my next shot (I am 44 at the moment.) How do I keep going? Wife just gave me a 3 month notice to get out. What am I doing wrong?
