Im in my final preceptorship as a nurse and I’ve been working worth a lot of people struggling with symptoms of their schizoaffective disorder. The delusions and suicidal ideation are quite frightening and distressing for them and I just want to be able to help. People are really bored in there right now, and a lot of our activities are cancelled still from Covid. I’ve been trying to really listen and be an ear for my patients, not to judge and to take time to walk the halls, encourage them to eat and what not. They tell me it helps when I listen and let them vent. But I know I can only do so much. I was just wondering if there is any experiences or things that nurses did or said that really helped or made an impact on your care and recovery? I’m sorry if this isn’t allowed here but Im just looking for a little insight from real people rather than a textbook.
