In most states, prescriptive privileges are granted to master‘s-prepared nurse practitioners

andclinical nurse specialists who have taken special courses on prescribing medication. The

a. ―Psychiatric nurses practice in safer environments than other specialties. Nurse-to-patient ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij

b. ―Psychiatric nurses use complex communication skills as well as critical thinking to solve ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
multidimensional problems. I am challenged by those situations.‖

The practice of psychiatric nursing requires a different set of skills than medical–surgical
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
nursing, though there is substantial overlap. Psychiatric nurses must be able to help
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
patientswith medical as well as mental health problems, reflecting the holistic perspective

, these nurses must have. Nurse–patient ratios and workloads in psychiatric settings have
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
increased,just like other specialties. Psychiatric nursing involves clinical practice, not just
ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij ij
documentation. Psychosocial pain and suffering are as real as physical pain and suffering.
