Pros
Some coworkers that are invested in psychiatric patient care. Helping people who need someone to support them.
Cons
Minimal support from supervisors, poor pay, accepting high medical or psychiatric accuity without the training or resources to care for them, many many assaults from patients towards staff and other patients. Coworkers that are literally horrible and make you wonder how they got a nurses license and why they are never fired. Same with some mental health workers, they literally hire anyone. Plumbing there is bad, biohazard. Most of the units are dirty and smell really bad constantly, upper management trying to fill beds with the worst of the worst patient with no regard for other patient's or staff safety. I could go on and on.... there's literally tons of cons.
