  3. Tattoo's on Nurses

  13. I was punched

    I totally Agree!!!! If you work in a psych ward or a dementia/alzheimers etc, type of facility, then you are made aware of the dangers. But when it is a case of an irate but mentally competent patient who is probably drug dependent (since you mention...
