>whole bunch of stakeholders dicking around
I'm sorry to tell you that profit and shareholders are very much a part of healthcare, and half the shit we have to deal with is because of them. Quality metrics, reviews, admissions, getting told how to do your job by people who don't even know what Tylenol is. This is especially the case in for profit hospitals, but Canadian healthcare is more socialized so I am not exactly sure how it is for you folks. I get your point though anon.
>The industry is a shitshow, and you can't outsource nursing to AI.
Stability is a fair point, that is actually one of the pros of nursing. You will always have a job, with the caveat of it being bedside of course. If you want to get a better job down the line though anon, you will be competing withg many 10 plus year veteran nurses who want to leave bedside, so it will be quite difficult. It took me one year of job applications to escape inpatient psych. However, you will not make good money starting out, especially in Canada from what I've heard.
>elaborate on your psychiatry experience
You will frankly meet the worst of the worst society has to offer. People have no idea how many people in society live to exploit it. I have seen it all in psych. Mood disorders, anxiety, chronic schizophrenics, detoxers, I've even taken care of rapists and child predators (haven't had a murderer as a pt afaik). Most of them are apathetic and will just do the bare minimum so they get out of inpatient psych. I can count on my fingers the amount of times I feel like I helped someone who was truly receptive. Then you also have a good chunk of people who are just outright malicious and seek to harm you physically and mentally. As a man, you will be expected to step up and assist with taking down patients. You will fight people, you will be attacked, and you will have to give forced injections. You can never drop your guard in psych, even when acuity is low. (1/2)
