    "Manglement" was used by another recent poster here on AN (I give due credit to that unknown donor) for its obvious intended use. No plagerism here.

    I don't use it too often but it was most appropriate for this post.

    Best thing is to watch how fast manglement moves when one of them gets whacked! Worthy speed records get set!
    Exactly! My boss got hit one day when I wasn't there and the next day she tells me, "He's in a veil bed and will stay in a veil bed until he is discharged." Because he hit you now he's in indefinite Pack-N-Play seclusion even when he's no longer a threat, because it was YOU not someone else? Yeah, not legal toots!

    This happened at our facility. Woman was hitting all the staff. Management at the time laughed(!) said what harm can an old lady do? They went to see this sweet old (not confused or psych issues) lady and got a kick in the shin. Usain Bolt would have been put to shame by how fast they moved to get security to come and talk to this lady about what was not acceptable and how the police would be called next time. (she was very well behaved after that!)

    Policy is that the "security big guns" can only be called in by unit managers in this case.

    I doubt they would still make and sell them then? Or that I still use them at least once a month on my med-surg floor!!

    They still have vail beds but restraint laws make it very hard to use them. I used them on inpatient neuroscience rehab with brain injury patients.

    I have never seen one of these beds in my life, It would've been great for a resident where I used to work who used to have such bad tremors she'd manage to get from the middle of 2 hospital beds next to each other, get over the bed-rails and end up on the floor. We actually had meetings regularly about her and what we could do to keep her safe.

    I hadn't seen one, or even mittens for that matter, until I worked at my 2nd hospital. They are wonderful for patient safety IMO!

    They aren't legal in skilled facilities.
