why most of nursing students prefer to work on a tertiary hospital than to a mental institution?

Answer 1

maybe because like most people dealing with a physical illness is easier then a mental illness...mental illness was always so hush hush that people don't quite know how to deal with it...caring for a mental person is so verbal people don't know what to say how to react. as to... you have a cut you put a bandage on it. all done..well thats my theory..

Answer 2

I have worked in nursing homes and in mental health care. It totally depends on the type of envirmonment you work in. What do you mean by mental institution? I have worked with mentally handicapped people and rather enjoyed it, but I wouldnt want to work in a mental ward of a hospital. Most nursing students are just that, students, and they are just learning so it depends on how far along they are as too what they can handle.

Answer 3

If you ever worked the horrors of a mental institution you would understand. The chronically ill, which do not get better... The smell... The screaming, the crying, the fighting... The lack of funds that are proided to the mental institutions.... Those are all reasons to work in a teritary institution.

Answer 4

Mental Intuition has mental patients and most are afraid of them but you cannot escape the rotation
