I had to go to the local hospital E.R. and file the 302 due to his abusive behavior towards me and the staff. The police did go and transport him to the E.R. but they sent him back due to his nonaggression at the E.R. I am no longer allowed back in the facility due to my actions that night and that the administration did not respond to my calls. I suppose they are trying to cover their butts!

I'm an agency RN who specializes in geriatrics. I have been working for a facility for a few months now and am pretty familiar with the residents. There is a resident at this home who has been becoming increasing violent with his dementia. We had an incident tonight where he became violent with the staff (me included). The upper administration has known for a long while about his violence with residents and staff and just kept getting him new roommates and just recently a private room. The family of four sons are not very happy with me because I went and filed a 302 to have him taken for a psych. eval. I need to know what I should do now - report the workplace violence and be shunned from my profession, continue to work for them (oh, by the way his daughter-in-law works there - how will she be feeling about me) or go to the county commissioners with the problems. HELP!!!!!
