Posted over 5 years ago You know you're a psych nurse if...
... you pour water on another person's head and it's appropriate behavior. ... you are always thinking of more creative ways to pour water on someone else's head. ... when your husband or your children mess up and you explain to them that "that is not appropriate behavior" and then warn them with a time out. ... you hear someone in public using four letter words and it doesn't bother you. ... you think your spouse is "crazy NOS" ... you know that Bi-polar and Manic-depressive mean the same. ... you understand that "four-point" is NOT the landing at the end of Point-au-chene. ... you've given "god" a cocktail for inappropriate behavior. ...you can spot a psych patient on the street just by the way they walk and move about. ... you feel more comfortable on a Psych unit then in the Wal-Mart parking lot. ... you get punched in the face and it is not the first time. ... you have cat-like reflexes from playing the game... "Dodge the Body Fluids." ... you have played the "Un-game" at least once in your life. ... nakedness doesn't turn you on like it used to. ... are trying to build a "rapport" with your family. ... you are trying to establish a more therapeutic milieu in your house. ... you know what C.P.I. means. ... you start locking up the linen closet at your house. ... your children want to take bath and you tell them that shower times are 6:30 ~ 8:00 a.m., 5:30 ~ 8:00 p.m., and 9:00 ~ 10:00 p.m. ... when you are getting ready in the morning and you yell down the hall of your house that it's sharps time. ... you go to a doctor appointment...the doctor shows up late...and it's no big deal...hee...hee!!! |

| Posted over 5 years ago Lol that is funny. I love these things you can find and come up with. Puts a smile on my face and makes me laugh. I am not a pysch nurse or a nurse at all yet although I can see myself doing some of those things lol, although I do work with MR/MH adults and kids on a regular basis at my current job. |

| Posted over 5 years ago lol. maybe we will see :) The one about the "not appropraite behaviour" is something I tell my kids all the time and they do get put in time out or something afterwards if they continue to do it hehe. I know the word rapport very well as all out clinicians use it and such. |

| Posted over 5 years ago Whenever a student asks a "Why" question in class, everyone jumps on it to point out that it's not therapeutic communication... and we've all diagnosed ourselves/our instructors with personality disorders. |
