Some notes to guide you—I can edit as needed.
My current position is working as AGPCNP in an inpatient drug and alcohol rehab. I work with patients with co occurring disorders every day but right now my focus is on the medical issues. We have a team of psych providers that primarily work on the mental health part and we work together.
Psychosis is what I find most difficult to work with.
