I was an SRN in England and am an RN in Southern California now. I left England in 1981. I have such happy memories of the psyche unit I worked on. The patients saw their pdocs on a regular basis the nursing staff really cared. On sunny days we would take all the patients out on the hospital lawn and have tea and sandwiches. I only had one incident in all the time I worked there and that is when I got badly bitten by a patient. My fault entirely, wasn't paying enough attention (probably had a hang over from the night before) because boy did we party! Am I deluding myself with these memories. What is it really like there now for mental health issues?

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??
They don't care, you are passed from pillar to post, I have been passed around for 6 months and still I'm not anywhere! I've gone there very suicidal to be sent away without meds, saying to wait to see another doctor and see a crisis team who do nothing at all apart from check you're alive daily.
I want to go to your hospital junggl, sounds great!
