Good friend of mine was committed and locked away for a few years at South Beach, Staten Island and man, it was a living hell...

I visited a friend at one in Minneapolis one time and was afraid to eat a rice crispy bar because I assumed the nurses put sedatives in it. Made me think I was the one who was admitted. Har har har.

mental wards are worthless unless you want to go on an adventure
I got kicked out for inciting a succesful riot in the ward when I was 15
it's really not that hard to get angst youths to be crazy in a ward
but the two tech's that quit they're jobs, to back us was what made it worthy
stupid fucking ward
WIN

My girlfriend is a nurse at a psych ward.

She basically thinks that all the nurses are petty unsympathetic bitches who hate the patients (she likes working with the patients, but, not the nurses). And that the psych techs are generally a bit slow, but, are nice, caring, but firm, people.

So, if you're ever in a psych ward and the nurse is being a jerkwad, they probably just hate their job.

I worked in a drug detox as a nurse, and a few other health-care jobs, pretty much the same thing as a psych ward most days.

It wouldn't be a fun place to be locked up for any length of time, interesting until bedtime for one day, maybe.

Food is generally crap, boring all around; you can only listen to a guy grunt or make other crazy noises repeatedly for hours, before you go crazy yourself. You also have to deal with the people that finger paint with or eat shit. Or the sweet, little, old lady nympho, who has solo sex 48 times a day and sneaks up on you and pats your cheek with wet fingers, while you are doing paperwork! But that didn't happen to me..

You generally don't get a private room and have to attend mandatory classes with the other patients. It'd be pretty scary waking up to your roomie standing over you doing odd stuff such as: screaming, crying, laughing or pissing on you.
