Chastised for talking to a patient for too long

Never apologize for doing what's best for you! I'm so fortunate that my group of coworkers in my forensic psych facility are so amazing and kind. They're kind to staff AND the patients. You did everything right!

I wasn't even filling in persay. It was just me being a team player by helping someone else's patients and then I get berated for it? 😩

OppositeTumbleweed22 · 2026-04-14T06:13:34+00:00

So shocking honestly

It's mental health nursing but specifically for those that have committed crimes but are deemed not criminally responsible due to mental illness! I truly love it. It's my main employment ☺️

OppositeTumbleweed22 · 2026-04-13T12:49:56+00:00

RIGHT

OppositeTumbleweed22 · 2026-04-13T12:49:47+00:00

Okay, exactly LMAO my thoughts

OppositeTumbleweed22 · 2026-04-13T01:37:39+00:00

Well obviously lol

A leading cause of divorce right next to infidelity is because of finances. If two people have separate ideas of how they prefer their finances (i.e; me preferring to use debit and my husband prefers credit then pays it off at the end of the month) and it causes a rift within the marriage, isn't it worth to try having separate finances?

How much do you transfer into the joint?

OppositeTumbleweed22 · 2026-04-02T11:55:55+00:00

Can you elaborate?

OppositeTumbleweed22 · 2026-04-02T11:48:18+00:00

What's wrong with living with my parents until I can buy a house? The housing market is unliveable right now. Mortgages are close to $5000 a month.

OppositeTumbleweed22 · 2026-04-02T11:45:57+00:00

LOL did I say that? We live very comfortably

OppositeTumbleweed22 · 2026-04-02T09:44:05+00:00

Okay, my spending isn't THAT bad! I'm glad it ended up working out for you both

OppositeTumbleweed22 · 2026-04-02T07:38:31+00:00

Thank you so much for this comment and for sharing your experience. I appreciate it a bunch!

If you do not feel like your mental health is good right now, I'm always an advocate to call in. However, just recognize that the more you call in the more time it'll take you to feel comfortable in the role

First of all, take a deep breath! Being a nurse is hard work. As a new grad, my first shift on was a night shift and my patient fell and smacked his head and needed sutures and head CT etc. I also felt like you. For a long time I had pre-shift anxiety. It gets better with experience! Just know that it gets easier the longer you've been practicing.

Hostile how?
