Karen, I just started the group yesteray and saw you too are a psych Nurse. I am a forensic psych nurse and today after reading you message, I felt the pain you are experienceing. Most Psych fac. are smoke free now and it seems we can still find our courner to hide and have that one or two on a shift. I just want you to know I praying for you and hope the Lord gives you the strenght as inside the confinement of a pschatric ward can get to anyone after a period of time. I encourage you to keep exploring by reading, joining these chat forums, whatever you must to put the cigs down. Speak to your Dr about the situataion and your concerns. This is for you and once you make it the first day thru, you can than look to another day. I will look for your reply. Peg
