It all started on my first day . Peggie Kahn, who has been a nurse
for more than thirty-five years, ventures into a new and
challenging environment-a world populated by patients with various
mental illnesses-that she chronicles in her journal, "Welcome to My
World." Her charges all have interesting stories. Some are lost in
a limbo of dementia, while others battle schizophrenia, bipolar
disorder, and numerous other psychological health problems. And
nearly all of them smoke. Yet it is Kahn's sense of humor that
comes through and offers hope, while at the same time giving these
patients dignity by trying to reach them in her own gentle way.
"Welcome to My World" captures the quirkiness and challenges of
day-to-day life in a psychiatric care facility. Kahn's heartwarming
collection of anecdotes presents life lessons for all and provides
a first-hand account of the lives of mentally ill patients for
anyone considering a career in the psychiatric field.
