The psych rotation is pretty straightforward. Everyone is really nice - my attending, residents and the rest of the team were all awesome. The hours aren't quite as nice as UNI (my hours averaged 8-6). The patients are mostly nice and you have a lot of time to get to know and talk with them so it is really rewarding. Once in a while a patient keeps it real by telling the attending he is going to "stick a nuke up [his] a**" or providing other such delightful repartee +/- antics.
The only advice I really have is for the shelf - don't ignore which kind of psychotherapy you use for which diagnosis like I did (e.g. what is Cog-Behavioral therapy indicated for vs. Insight-oriented). For the shelf, First Aid that the department lends you was the most useful.
