Glad to be able to answer your questions.

I myself am a nurse in a tertiary care public hospital and have worked there for five years, so I'll just give my opinion and advice.

First of all, the three A public hospitals, the threshold to be higher, the requirements are also high, but do not move the three A hospitals are to be part of the specialist students, which ah part of the specialties are generally local students, there is also a cooperation with the hospitals and hospitals have a school is generally easier to stay.

Secondly, tertiary hospitals don't only recruit once, you can find a job to do first and try again when you have the right job.

Finally, I think there is nothing wrong with going to a tight hospital, as long as the salary and other things are about the same as what you asked for, even in the three hospitals there are a lot of wages are not a lot of, into the three or to be divided into departments, not all of them are well-paid, so I think that as long as the salary is good, there is no problem to go wherever you want to go, the mental hospital may be more relaxing, the three hospitals need to work a lot of night shifts. It's not good for the body. So it's good to go anywhere.

Thank you for the invitation to the platform.

The issue is indeed very real and the current market conditions are:

Basically, all nursing staff recruited by public hospitals at level 2 or above are required to have a bachelor's degree or above in nursing.

Whether or not she is suitable for a psychiatric hospital also depends on whether she personally enjoys the profession of mental health.

Although psychiatry is not as busy as other clinical departments, such as administering injections and fluids, it requires love, patience and responsibility, because most of the people they deal with are not normal people:

There are patients who are excited and impulsive;

There are patients who are depressed and numb;

There are patients who hit and curse;

There are patients who run away and commit suicide.

Honestly, caring for such patients really requires a strong sense of responsibility and love, and is much harder than being a kindergarten teacher (kids its at least listening to the teacher).

We've had a couple of instances of this in our unit:

They apply for jobs with great enthusiasm and come to work with great enthusiasm, but once they enter the closed psychiatric wards, they quit after only a few days of work, and some of them are even "scared" to go home on the same day.

Being a psychiatric nurse practitioner, a good policy to have at the moment is:

You can qualify as a psychotherapist by studying to help your patients and grow as a person!

College degree for nurses, near the regular hospital is also possible, think a lot of coastal cities because of mobility, every year will recruit a lot of contract nurses, of course, the establishment is not, are now gradually canceled the establishment. Of course, you want to have higher requirements, still can choose to further study, take a bachelor's degree, improve their own qualifications.

Can be hired to go to a psychiatric hospital, because the care of the patient's program pathology remains unchanged, there are doctors to confirm the diagnosis of medication, according to the doctor's prescription of medication and care requirements for the work. If force mental disorder patients, there are doctors and nurses to help cope together. You can dare to work in a normal state of mind, you will get exercise, experience and skills, you will be loved by the leadership reuse. Because the work of the hospital is beyond the other conventional hospitals, because the patient is special like children's care.

I'm happy to answer your questions.

I don't know if you've already interviewed for a public hospital, but although all major tertiary hospitals recruit nurses with a bachelor's degree, in fact many hospitals also require a college degree. It would be good to interview a few more hospitals during the graduation recruitment season and be generous and confident during the interviews.

I am a nurse, also a college degree, once graduated, I applied to enter a tertiary hospital, has been working for 10 years.

Nursing also includes psychiatric nursing, so it is possible to go to a mental hospital. When I went to school, I went to a psychiatric hospital to apprentice, internship also rotated through the mental health center, just to go to the actually a little bit afraid, every door is iron, in and out have to lock, but after a few days found that in fact there is nothing to be afraid of, and some of the patients are quite cute. The work is not as busy as the big hospitals, as long as more attention to work is also possible.

If it is just because you have not been admitted to a public hospital, a cosmetic surgery hospital is also an option. But it is best to do some core and skilled work, such as being a surgical nurse, working with the doctor's desk to assist the doctor in surgery, and becoming the doctor's other hand, which will be better than doing simply being a guide, and being able to keep learning.

Psychiatric hospitals are also regular hospitals ah, in fact, psychiatric hospitals are not so terrible, specifically also depends on the department, psychiatric hospitals are not like general hospitals so much treatment. Nurses work like the previous online circulation of that picture, patients get up at 6:30, more than seven o'clock to eat breakfast, more than eight o'clock to send medicine, nine - ten o'clock recreational activities to eat snacks, more than 11 o'clock to eat lunch, nap, two and a half o'clock to eat medicine, three or four o'clock recreational activities, five o'clock to eat dinner, seven o'clock to eat snacks, eight o'clock to eat medicine, finished after sleeping. The treatment of psychiatric hospitals will not be very bad, the number of people in the establishment is also relatively large, depending on the region.

Thanks, I also have a first degree in nursing college, I once contacted the nurse teacher of the psychiatric hospital that our school cooperated with, and she said she would sign a contract as long as I was willing to go there, and then it was put on hold because of the promotion of my bachelor's degree, I actually want to go to a psychiatric hospital, after all, it's too hard to deal with the normal people, and I'm tired of my heart, and I'd rather deal with the mentally ill people [Smile].
