I m approaching my 18th birthday now and I m reflecting on my childhood and my experiences at Rutgers Behavioral Healthcare. I first went went I was in the 8th grade during Covid. I remember dealing with insecurity issues and my mom put me in Rutgers Behavioral Healthcare. I ve always received the highest grades and was even honored for my poetry. It was upsetting as I had to drop to regular classes while I was there as I in all honors. I m familiar with almost all the staff including the nurses, doctors, and I ve spoken to several patients. The experience is very scary as police usually come to your house and your put in an ambulance and driven there. They then open the door and you see nurses and a doctor. I m not going to lie it is a career or job for them but they can be very hurtful. You usually come in and you speak to one of the attending psychiatrist they speak to you, and they access if you should be admitted. It all is a very frightening process, there s a few bedrooms which are very uncomfortable. They did have a tv that they allowed me to watch. I watched different music videos and YouTube and they actually let me control the tv. I spoke to the nurses and they were pleasant as they worked their shifts. I enjoyed speaking to them I met a Ghanaian Women and actually all black women. I am myself so I asked where she was from in Ghana and I liked their personalities. They give you your prescribed medication and you can ask for a piece of fruit. Funke is a nurse that s primarily there she has a special place in my heart as she weighed me and did my evaluation crazy but the three times I ve been there. She s Yoruba Nigerian and I conversed to her about that. You then wait until someone upstairs walks you up. Which is when you see all the kids and are introduced to the facility. For me the times I ve been there it always takes me back. It feels very different than actual life. You see a tv, three tables with plastic chairs, and a place where they give you medications. Theirs a section of rooms for boys and then girls. Your taken to your room and then introduced to the schedule. I ve been on One and One and have been allowed to be in the group setting. I liked being on One to One as I was able to sleep in and your parents could bring books so I read the four agreements and a books about the word of God. When working in mental illness you have to understand it is a taboo area and some children are dealing with severe mental issues I ve spoken and seen most of their stories. Some deal with bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, drug overdoses, depression, anger issues, altercations with parents, and a variety of mental disorders. I do know what psychiatrists do as I ve spoken to several at Rutgers Behavioral Health. I know the whole entire staff some whom I can say are good people and want to help you. Some are college students I absolutely love Siyana she has long braids and she s the best. I said she was pretty and honestly she is an adult but she was a friend to me and I admire her. She s going to become a therapist and when I left she hugged me and smiled. Melanie was someone else who really helped me while I was there and gave me good advice. I started crying while I was there once as it was a traumatic experience for me. It is a job like any other and your getting paid for working and there normal people too. I liked Shyan, Neha, and Aaron who led the groups throughout the day. There s Latency and then there s some more rooms. Then there s a school area with a tv where you can talk to the other patients. If your there during the summer you don t do school if your there during the school year, they have computers where you can do schoolwork. Hospital food doesn t taste too good and the snacks are okay. Your parents can bring food and you can speak to them from 6-7. Which is most patients favorite time and everyone talks about the food their parents bringing them. Mr. Pierre, Mrs.Kim, and the nurses are good people.
I recently moved to the Wilmington VA service area and only hope that the service that I receivce will be comparable to the excellent health care received at the .Piscataway clinic .From the receptionist to the nurses to the doctors I could not have asked for better health care.Thank you for the many years caring for my health.
Mr Coleman is the most wonderful guy, he s professional, and cares! Makes sure every client gets and has all that they need, the clients are happy, the staff is happy! The facility is clean, and a pleasure to be around!! Keep it up
