This is going to be a bit funny but actually from december 21-28th I was in a psychiatric hospital [John Peter Smith Hospital] and on christmas day...i rerember the staff member came into my room, and said hello rj, its christmas day...its going to be a happy day here today. Yet most of the staff member and the doctors where not there...but the people that where there where warm that day.... most of the day on the 25th. I rerember they gave us presents litterly in boxes rapped up, there no bows...but they where bibles, sweat shirts, spirals with pens, some people got stuffed bears...it was ok really...but my mom called the hospital and called the ward and was crying because she wanted me with her on that day, with the family. The day after they went back to their regular psychiatric enviroments.
But really that hospital was filled warm people that day...but later they left and night staff came in. I just read the bible the rest of the day....ate dinner, and then went to sleep. They had me on Geodon and Depekote and Aterax. It wasnt nice...but still that was a intresting memory.
christmas 2012!! is coming

> rjI'm impressed rj, it sounds like they were very kind to you patients on Christmas in the hospital. I've been in the hospital a couple of times and I can't imagine the staff ever being so kind and giving. Sounds like a nice memory you have. Thanks for sharing it, and btw, it wasn't funny at all, just very uplifting:)

>I should clarify; I made a mean generalization there about the staff at a psych hospital. Some of them were the kindest people in the world. I bet you were one of them Phillipa :)

Kat what a sweet thing to say:) I'd like to believe I was kind and caring and giving. I used to spiritually step into the other person's shoes as they say and feel what they felt to better understand the client. The staff I worked with in all the places most were also generous and kind. Today I feel things have changed a lot of RN's and others just want a paycheck and don't care like we did. And that was when you could even be admitted for a med change. I've also been on the other side and I do know what you mean. Today I would never ever go back to one. Times have changed for the worse.

Dear Phillipa,
I could have sworn I sent this msg. before, but I must not have hit the 2nd submit button when I thought I did.
Anyways, it's really sad that things have changed for the worse. At least you worked when things were better. But tbh, my biggest complaint about hospitals is the lack of privacy. I hate having a roommate - you never know who you're gonna get, and if they're gonna snore or not lol I've had a total of 4 roommates, and of them there was only 1 that I genuinely liked. She got discharged before I did and I could have cried b/c she was replaced by a rude snorer. But such is life.
I have absolutely no doubt you were a perfect angel with your patients. You saying you tried to step into their shoes spiritually goes to prove that. You definitely chose the right profession. And more proof comes from seeing how kind and supportive and helpful you are here on PB. IslandGirl was right; we heart you!!!!!
I hope you are well,
Kat
