I am now knee deep in my psychiatric nursing rotation.
I spend two days a week, usually on the afternoon shift, at a local psychiatric hospital. I'm on a locked unit and some of the patients are, in clinical terms, bat-shit crazy. There are a lot of stories, schizophrenics and delusions all the time.
It's not as scary as most people think, but it can be a little weird sometimes.
Last night I was playing cards with a patient and a couple of students. We were playing spades. When it was my turn to deal I realized that we were short 2 cards.
I was in a mental hospital. We weren't playing with a full deck. Are you kidding me? Was it an accident or does someone, patient or staff member, have a sick sense of humor?
Somewhere in that story is two or three minutes of stand up comedy.
If a joke pops into your head I hope you'll share it.
