I'm an impatient psychiatric nurse for the court ordered population. I'm the permanent charge nurse on my unit, which included some management responsibilities with a full patient load for me too. 7-8 people report directly to me every shift, and I need to coordinate care with docs, social workers, families, visitors, nurse managers, ancillary departments. It's always busy, almost always stressful, sometimes dangerous physically, sometimes 10-11 hours work with only 20 min for lunch. But I usually love it. I often wonder why. But I do.
