I think I will resign effective immediately tomorrow. There are bed alarms and no patients are never tied to beds. They tie wanderers to chairs so they won't fall in chairs in view of staff or in their room with staff looking in on them. The other staff justify this by saying the number one priority is to prevent falls.
On the Geri-psych unit I work on, the management took away velcro lap belts and now the nightshift techs insist on tying patients to geri chairs with sheets because we have too many who are at high risk for falls and not enough staff to constantly watch them. I KNOW this is wrong and dangerous but I need this job. How should I handle this situation?
