Nurse
I'm David and I'm a Psychiatric Nurse. I like working at Sheppard Pratt because
I can specialize in a specific population of patients defined by diagnosis or
age. 
Currently I am working with trauma patients. Sheppard Pratt also has discrete
units that treat patients with psychotic disorders, dual diagnosis, and
schizophrenia, and focus on crisis stabilization and short term treatment.
There are geriatric and child and adolescent units as well. Another plus is
that I am able to continue my education here through in service training and at
any of a number of nursing schools in the Baltimore area.

Teacher
I'm Sharon and I'm a Teacher at the Forbush School which is
operated by Sheppard Pratt. Forbush runs from pre-K through high school. I
teach in the high school...social studies. The kids I work with have emotional
problems, so I don't just work with them on their academics, but I also help
them overcome emotional and behavioral challenges. In that sense I'm part of a
team that includes their psychiatrists, psychologists, and social workers. My
classes are small and we do alot of experiential learning, which is what these
kids often find most engaging. For example, when we did a unit on archeology,
we participated in a real archeological dig. I enjoy the small classes and am
gratified by the progress I see in my students. My work is challenging, but
very rewarding!
