student interested in psychiatric nursing.

a. “Psychiatric nurses’ practice in safer environments than other specialties cc cc cc cc cc cc cc cc

problems.”

to solve multidimensional problems. I’m challenged by those situations.”

c. “I think I will be good in the mental health field. I do not like clinical rotations in

d. “Psychiatric nurses do not have to deal with as much pain and suffering as cc cc cc cc cc cc cc cc cc cc cc cc cc

The practice of psychiatric nursing requires a different set of skills than medical-surgical
cc cc cc cc cc cc cc cc cc cc cc cc
nursing, although substantial overlap does exist. Psychiatric nurses must be able to help

patients with medical and mental health problems, reflecting the holistic perspective these

nurses must have. Nurse–patient ratios and workloads in psychiatric settings have

increased,similar to other specialties. Psychiatric nursing involves clinical practice, not

simply documentation. Psychosocial pain is real and can cause as much suffering as
