A couple of my classmates were doing their clinical rotation at a med-surg floor. One of the patients was a large man straight out of prison (not sure what he had done, or why he was in the hospital). Anyway, he first tried to make out with one of the female RNs. Then, he slapped her *** the next time she came into his room. So that female nurse requested that someone else should take care of him. The charge nurse (nurse manager?) decided to let a male RN step in.
Later on, the man has some explosive diarrhea and two of my classmates were there to help clean him up. He threw a huge tantrum, saying that there was no way in heck that a man would touch him down there. So he slapped my female classmate, & attempted to hurl a large water bottle at my male classmate's head. Security intervened, and our clinical instructor made sure they were okay & dismissed them from clinical.
I have another friend (goes to the same school as us) who works as a CNA in that building. She said that he was still there when she was working the night shift, still making inappropriate comments to the female RNs and yelling as he pleased.
Why is this acceptable?! Don't the nurse managers have a right to evict a patient? Please tell me this is not normal
