Nurses and mental health workers both desire quality care for our patients, so why do we sometimes seem to be at odds with each other? This group will discuss case scenarios, perceived responsibilities, and the minds of both disciplines to illustrate how and why individual disciplines approach the same issues differently. It aims to share new and modified approaches between these critical patient care disciplines in order to achieve shared patient care goals in a cohesive, harmonious, team-oriented environment.

Learning Objectives
