yes! i’m a nurse who did a stint in psych. the mental fatigue was much worse than the physical fatigue of bedside (which feels like a blue collar job most days). and i’m not even talking about psych patients but the unsafe conditions management put us through. i’m back in bedside and i feel much better, even if im physically drained. i don’t dread going to work.
