how do I get better at psych evals

Today we did a mock telehealth initial evaluation with a standardized patient and I was so thrown off. No one was prepared prior on how to speak to patients etc I had no real flow. My patient was experiencing auditory hallucinations and ideas of references and broadcasting and did not think anything was wrong with her. Is it the psych NP job to get her to realize there is smth going on or just get info and treat from there? I want to get better at learning how to communicate to patients experiencing psychosis since I have no prior experience. Any recommendations?

Bump next to my eye got bigger idk what it is but doesn’t hurt

Had this bump near my eye for over a week now and it was smaller before I thought it was a pimple but it got bigger. It’s not painful to touch and kinda movable.

Does Wendella cruise finish late at times?

Booked 90 min cruise 7/17 at 7pm for the sunset and booked an omakase dinner at 9pm. The dinner spot is about 15 min drive away at most. Is there chance the cruise will run past 8:30pm? Just this omakase is strict and need to be on time so I just want to make sure. Thanks!
