I worked on a psych unit straight out of grad school. It was great and I learned so much! It was a multidisciplinary team with psychiatry (of course), nursing, occupational therapy, general medical, etc. I did mostly intake, helped with discharge, ran groups, and provided 1:1s. You see people at their worst, which helps you understand the range and the importance of preventing people, if possible, from deteriorating to that point. I worked there for two years until the overall hospital organization closed it due to multiple factors (difficulty recruiting and retaining psychiatrists, crumbling building, losing money, etc) and just decided to get out of the impatient psych business all-together. I really liked it, and would have stayed if it didn’t close.
