That's why I'm terrified of not being on mood disorders which means being admitted through my dr. I don't know how I'd cope on a regular floor. I'm jumpy at my best. I'd also potentially be there with my own former patients and avoiding that is considered or is supposed to be. I worked on those units long enough that I know exactly what it is like and I'd have a really hard time doing that without having the keys in my pocket. I fought tooth and nail against admissions for years for that exact reason. Then the mood disorders unit opened and there aren't so many excuses.

My staff except for Cynthia (and the night nurse can be obnoxious too but I think she really is frustrated because it is so hard to get me to sleep and she does try to help; I think she just has a low frustration threshhold) is great. THe social worker and I have had issues too but she's only 2 days per week and so she doesn't count unless she ever screws up discharge planning for a 3rd time. Then she's a Cynthia.
