Vantaggi
I felt that my background in psychology helped me relate to the patients and helped advocate for their care when most staff were more concerned about the excitement of trauma and the adrenaline rush. I felt I was able to use my psy knowledge to collaborate with the physicians and help deescalation interventions before jumping into pharmacological and physical restraints
Svantaggi
I found my suggestions often overlooked in these trauma and stressful situations and frequently became discouraged and often reprimanded for "catering" to these patients who deserve the same quality of care. I often found myself in the office for complaints from my co-workers who did not agree with my nursing care for these patients who deserve our equal services
