NEED ADVICE....yesterday we were short staffed and our charge nurse usually dont take patients...have u ever heard of such....he said he is not supposed to...anyway we were short with rn and tech...one of our patients who was a wrist cutter went into mens bedroom where there were x2 male patients sleeping....i told her not to go to the male room and got punched close fist multiple times on the head, face, eye, and i have lacerations on my hand and MY face is swollen...i went to er and thankfully the facial bone xray came out negative..but i have soreness the next day. the patient never get into restraint...they put her back into her room and gave her prn shot later....we all know she did not go into restraints so charge nurse wont be bothered with paperwork and utilizing rn to do 1 : 1...they never notified security saying SHE WAS CALM AND COOPERATIV3E..i was in er x4 hours..nobody from my unit even bothered to call how i was doing...i ended up calling house supervisor / security/ etc myself.
2. MY BOSS SAID SINCE SHE WAS CALM AFTER I GOT BEATEN UP...THERE WAS NO NEED FOR HER TO GO ON RESTRAINTS...WTH?:smokin:
3. when security called charge nurse and asked why they were not notified of battery...they said " no need to bec she was calm after she hit me"
moral lesson of this story: in psych unit where i worked, staff just take care of themselves and choose to act depending only on certain staff/ person...they make their own rules depending on who is in charge:yeah::yeah:...every minute the rule change on our job...
thanks everyone for listening everyone:bowingpur:bowingpur:bowingpur i know what im going to do for my carreer future...
