Psych. Er briefing pls!

Hello everyone,
i just landed a job in the hospital- Psych ER as a Behavioral Health Associate. yet to commence duties but i was wondering if anyone with same experience could fill me on the expectations and precautions. thank you
That's a huge question. Your hospital could have totally different expectations than another hospital. How about talking to someone else who already works there? Is a behavioral health tech a nurse? You might be watching psych patients to make sure they're safe, kind of like being a sitter, if the job isn't a nursing job. If it is a nursing job, you might be assessing symptoms, calling the on-call psychiatrist. You might be making suggestions to other staff in the ER. You might be involved in behavior management.I suspect you'll get an orientation that includes the precautions you should implement.
