A few of us nurses were assaulted last month by a patient who was in a rage. In a matter of minutes, the patient injured 4 people, including two other patients.
Administration subtlely discouraged pressing charges. Granted, I was only bruised, nothing broken, and my nurse manager was also. The manager is not pressing charges.
Why would the hospital discourage this? P.S. the aggressor is a 14 year old girl.
