Here’s the thing though Then nurse could’ve came up to you and said that but it could’ve not been real. The nurse couldve said something else or never said anything to you, that’s the fun of schizophrenia. If they did actually come up to you and say that, then they’re ■■■■■■ up and think it’s fun to ■■■■ with patients. Some nurses are like that and the medical field is filled with humans, not angels.
As a nursing student the best thing to do would be to build trust. The next thing would be to let the patient explain their delusions.a nurse should never confirm a patients delusions like that. I would tell a patient that I don’t believe the delusions but you do. I would tell them they might be scary and i would give my honest intake on to what is reality. It’s really hard to help with delusions the best way to help with them is to provide support, build trust and try to reorientate someone into reality. I’m sorry you had to deal with this.
That nurse is trying to mess you up. Guy has no business being a nurse if he’s trying to play head games with fragile mental patients.
Nope. I still know he knows but that’s the least of my worries at the moment
Hey @princess where did you go? are you feeling better?
As a former R.N., I am sorry you had to go through this, @princess. That was very unethical of your nurse to tell you that. Either he is sick himself, which is a possibility, or he is very cruel.

I’ve experienced similar behavior from medical staff.
Even occasionally doctors, but more blatantly from nurses. It was very damaging to my recovery and am sorry that you also had to experience this. I’ve learned to take what the staff says and does very lightly. I only wish I knew of their unprofessionalism before they ##$___&&- with my head.
Just been in hospital and they didn’t want me going on this side. But I’m much better and I miss coming on here!
Glad to have you back! And glad that you are better!
