| Posted almost 4 years ago ALL patient poor behavior is excused with the umbrella statement " well hes just not feeling well" or something similar to it. Rest assured the next time Im assaulted on my job I am making a citizens arrest and calling the police and management can kiss my gluteus maximus. Never again.............................................................. |

| Posted almost 4 years ago I agree. I am so tired of coming home with bruises... While I do understand that some patients are confused and feel threatened, others are not that confused, and I don't think it is right that they can be violent with us and not be reprimanded in some way. I work in a nursing home, and it seems that we are getting more and more younger patients in with serious mental illnesses who have a history of violent tendencies. Sometimes it is scary when they get upset, because their mood is so unpredictable and one never knows how they are going to react. |

| Posted almost 4 years ago I too was assaulted by a confused resident. Luckily, I have a great boss that was very concerned about my welfare. My boss informed me to report any type of assault,(no matter how minor), to her; as she will not tolerate my getting hurt. |

| Posted almost 4 years ago Report "it" to who and to what end? Unless the assaulter is an ER patient the cops won't be called. Even if they were I can promise you they won't arrest anybody unless the assaulter did so in ER. And the administration would have a cow on Monday morning if any of the staff had called the cops on some assaultive inpatient. So again I ask - report it to who? The administration? And to what end? So they can gather statistics? |
