This study interviewed 11 registered nurses to explore their interpersonal experiences when transitioning into a forensic mental health hospital. The findings revealed that nurses' ability to maintain safety, adapt to professional and personal groups, and gain management support were important experiences during their workplace transition.
While forensic mental health has seen considerable growth over the last two decades, little is known about the experience of registered nurses working in these environments. This study used a qualitative descriptive approach and interviewed 11 registered nurses to explore the interpersonal experiences of transition into a forensic mental health hospital. The data revealed three themes. 'Observing what's safe' examined nurses' ability to maintain safety in the context of inconsistent practices among colleagues. 'Navigating cliques and divisions' focused on nurses' sense of belonging and adapting to professional and personal groups. Finally, 'gaining management support' reflected nurses' experiences of engagement with management. This study provides new insight into nurses' experience of adapting to employment in forensic mental health settings and highlights the importance of positive support strategies for workplace transition.
