Summary
My experience in an emergency department setting has allowed me to gain firsthand experience with patients in active crisis, such as psychosis, suicidal ideation, and homicidal ideation. As someone with a background in their own mental health struggles, I have personal experience navigating the mental health care system, making me a prime candidate for supporting patients in their journey.
I have one-on-one experience being a sitter for patients on 5150 holds and crisis de-escalation. However, when situations do escalate, I have experience in restraining patients and the knowledge of when restraint is appropriate. I also have experience in charting and using different healthcare documentation programs.
