Stressed Nursing Student

Okay, I was a bit upset last night.

Time to move on.  We have our first mental health exam tomorrow.  I have really enjoyed the mental health rotation at the hospital.  In this rotation we really just talk with the patients, but you meet some of the most fascinating individuals and have a chance to learn much more in depth about various mental disorders.  I do not think that I will ever work in a mental health capacity, but I am sure that the experiences gained working with these individuals will create life long memories.  How many people do you know have been locked in a room with 30 bipolar and schizophrenic patients?  It really has helped me to see the thin line that separates sane from insane or mental health from mental disorder.  I will always be grateful for the appropriate balance of chemicals in my brain.
