Abstract:
Being a nurse in psychiatry is not an accident. The particularity of the care and people being cared for and the autonomy of the nurse in his or her role as clinician can guide the choice to practice this profession in this environment. Similarly, the particularities of the technical care provided in psychiatry and the special place of the care teams are also arguments to explain this decision.
