Today, while at a psychiatric hospital working as a student nurse, I discovered one of the patients had developed an unhealthy obsession for me. He was admitted for stalking and abusing a girl who looked just like me. It's only my first week. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I decided to try something new and sign up for an online dating service, since I can't meet a decent guy in person. The first guy I talked to told me he used to be in a mental hospital for obsessing over a girl, then told me he would be dreaming of me that night. FML
Today, I went on a date with a really cute guy. Things were going great, so we went to his place. While he was in the bathroom, I absentmindedly looked around his apartment. Unfortunately, his living room cupboard was half open, and I saw a shrine of pictures of me. Apparently, he's been stalking me for months. FML
Today, I worked up the courage to tell my supervisor that it makes me feel uncomfortable when my coworker teases me by saying a special needs client is in love with me at the residential facility I work at. Her response was, “Well, he is obsessed with you. He writes your name down hundreds of times and watches you out his window." FML
Today, on my way to work, I was checking my hair in the semi-reflective window of an office building. I suddenly realized that the guy I had a one-night stand with last week was standing on the other side, looking confused. He now genuinely believes that I am stalking him. FML
Today, the girl I stalked in high school found me. I've since gotten therapy and fixed my attachment issues, but she told my fiancée the whole story anyway. Now I'm single and sleeping on my clothes in the back of a U-haul. FML
Today, I found out that the person who has been stalking me has also been stalking someone else. I got upset. It seems it took being stalked to make me feel good about myself. FML
Today, I found out how my parents met. They met at a mental hospital, where they were both being hospitalized. FML
Today, my friends and I were talking about the creepy stranger that used to stalk me back in high school. I guess his looks changed a lot through the years because I found out that he's my current boyfriend of four months. FML
Today, my psycho ex-girlfriend showed up at my new job to, "Keep an eye on me." The same ex-girlfriend who has been stalking me since we broke up. Two years ago. FML
Today, I stalked my boyfriend's ex again. I have come to the realization that I look just like her. I’m that girl. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Now you know who to stay away from.... Just give him sleeping pills every time you're working.

You can't just shove any kind of pills you feel like down your patient's throat. There has to be a doctor's order, dosage, set times or PRN every 4 hours as needed for example, to give the medications. A nurse can't just waltz into the facility they work, or in this case train at, and say hmm I think I'll just give this resident an Ambien , that one over there gets some Ativan, and the one in the hallway will be getting a Buspar. It just doesn't work like that. In the earlier years of nursing that is pretty much how they handled things but they quickly learned that, that isn't the best way to treat people. Not everyone in a psych or long term care facility has the same doctor's orders. Each resident has their own tailored medication regimen to fit their individual needs.

You met Greg the resident stalker. Word of advise, do not lead him on, keep your distance from him AND have your injection needles ready, just in case.

It might be tough for your first week, but this is a great example of the aspects of the job you should have expected. Transference is a problem with people in therapy; it stands to reason that in a psych hospital it would be more so. FYL for the uncomfortable situation but YDI for not thinking this through and setting your expectations accordingly.

this was a fairly decent comment, apart from the fact that you said she should have expected it and that she deserved it... no one can start a job like that and think "okay so I need to prepare myself for when someone becomes obsessed with me..." some nurses who have worked in these places a long time probably haven't encountered all scenarios yet!

Ooh that's really creepy. I'd be careful of that one

Talk to your supervisor. That can be a very dangerous situation and you may be able to have that pataient taken off of your case load.

I feel for you op. I was on a physch ward due to depression and suicidal thoughts. One if the guys there thought I was someone else and would scream at me whenever he saw me. It was scary.

I'm truly sorry that you've had some pretty rough times, naughtylez82. I'm very glad that you were able to get the treatment and support you needed to pull through that time of your life.

Make sure you talk with your supervisor for your student nurse position, and explain what's going on. The supervisor needs to know about the situation (your safety is in part your supervisor's responsibility, and the patient's behavior and treatment response could be affected), and you can also make sure you know about all security options open to you at that facility. Given that this is a teaching situation in which you're being evaulated, you may want to be careful not to sound like you're freaked out and want off the case -- even if that's what you really want. But above all, stay safe.

I was wondering when the correction would be made, lol.
