Training and Careers Thread: December 16, 2020

Hi, hope can ask this here.

I have worked as a psych tech since 2012. 3 hospitals and a short stint at a residential.

Currently working in the ER for 6 months as we moved to a new State.

Not sure what to ask or say in the interview tomorrow?

Any advice or feedback?

My biggest concerns and questions is from State worked in the psych field it's has some noticeable differences.

One is IVC as far as I know are only admitted to inpatient programs where up North both vol and invol were admitted.

Judge and psych doctor are involved in admitting a patient

Psych seems relatively new in the State or just in response to a growing need as been rapid growth in new psych unit's.

It's actually 2 interviews. I know the hospital has an inpatient unit, an intense care psych unit, and adolescent unit. I don't know if they have a designated psych area in the ED or spread out in the ED.

I know from previous hospital experiences designated beds by the State couldn't exceed that number. Not sure if something that is not mandated here.

Again appreciate any insight or feedback can give?
