Solid practicum programs are very difficult for graduate students to find and attend. Thus, real world experience is lacking with many. It takes about 10,000 hours of actual application before you really understand what’s required to be good and effective at the job. It’s a steep and long learning curve.

MILFMAN Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 My daughter is in her 4th and last year of nursing school. This semester her class was supposed to do a clinical rotation with mental health services. The were not able to, because the mental health facilities and hospital wings are short staffed and can't waste time with students. That had to have a 'remote' clinical. Bull shit educational experience.. If students can't get exposed to that type of healthcare or nursing, it is less likely one will pursue that oath. Catch 22. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What your daughter is experiencing is a very common situation that’s confined not only to mental health. It’s also common place in other healthcare professions. We are on the verge of a health care worker shortage that’s never been seen before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter has a BS and is now in her first year of Nursing School…she also works at hospital as a care aide on a Cardiac Floor but they float her to different floors quite often. It sounds like the shortages are here not to mention a broken system with a serious lack of facilities for the elderly and mentally ill.

We have a holding unit for those waiting to be sent to skilled nursing facilities and there aren't any available. They've backed up into the rest of the hospital and occupy beds that the more acute patients need causing us to divert sick patients to other facilities that are likely experiencing the same issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was rubbing your skin on your wrist or arm with an eraser until it burnt through or something like that? Can't remember exactly. I got bitched at enough just for writing a note or a phone number on my skin to never even think about something that serious. Kids have been doing fucked up shit for a while now. 18 hours ago, 1jkw said: Around here it was called a punk test and it was done with a thumbnail on your wrist, one kid got a pretty bad infection from it. I saw a documentary a while back about this guy with dissociative personality disorder or something like that who put lye on the back of his hand. Supposedly the pain would make him feel like a monkey shot into space, greatest moment of his life etc. Must have been a real rush but it looked like it did some serious damage, luckily he had some vinegar on hand to neutralize it.

The federal and state guidelines have piled up during the last 6 years. Especially during Covid. While us in the trenches were working face to face with people, the muffin heads at the state were coming up with even more restrictive policies from their offices via Zoom. There’s really zero respect that anyone working in mental health receives. New graduates need to be prepared for that. Either they get a tough skin or they don’t last. The criminalization of mental health is an entirely different issue that’s real. The spiraling of crime is in part due this new approach. Despite all of that, it’s damn rewarding work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry 976 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 In my early teens we see this painted on the side of a bridge while we were fishing, it always stuck with me, there use to be signs at either end of the bridge with a Phone number for help.
