I am not sure I know exactly what is being asked, but I do know about nursing care, having received it during many hospitalizations in 7 different hospitals.  I think nursing care (if you are hospitalized) is just about the most important relationship.  A nurse's attitude and actions can make or break a patient's attempt at recovery.  The most important thing a psyche nurse can do is to show compassion and caring.   I went to one hospital where I finally asked for a meeting with the nurses and doctors, then told them all to go to hell.  The nurses there were horrible and seemed to make up the rules as they went along.  One of them told me to get a life and stop running to the hospital every time I had a problem!  She needed a refresher course in compassion and tact!   Then a nurse at a different hospital, where I had stayed many times, went above and beyond the call of duty.  She would show up where I worked several times and always asked how I was doing and let me know she cared.   Carolyn
