My best mate is a bit mad and she works as a nurse (very successfully), she just gets a bit funny on night shift. So mainly she just takes morning or arvo shifts. I work in a hospital (not as a nurse) too and it's pretty good. I work on the psych ward even . The most annoying thing is trying to keep a good game face when I get a bit up or a bit down when I work with eight psychiatrists and a zillion psych nurses every day. Today and yesterday I've felt a bit flat (but fine) and had five people ask me if I was ok. Geez.

Anyway, you should do it. Bp just gives you more empathy and understanding and makes you a gret clinician. You just have to give yourself tlc along the way.
