When I have had suicide checks, it didn't give me more contact with the staff. They would just check to see where I was and that I hadn't hurt myself. From my experience psych nurses actually don't have much contact with the patients although that is their role. They are supposed to ask you how you are doing etc. and then they report it back to the doctor. But the times that I have been in, they just hide behind their plexi glass fish and talk amongst themselves and do paper work. It's sad.
