Who can I report to?

Ok, so my hospital recently lost its manager and director for the ER. In the meantime we have some intermittent ones but things are just changing for the worse and the work environment is not safe. For instance someone from the management team decided to stick a nurse in the waiting room in a three walled cube to register patients. The problem is that the open side is completely open to the waiting room and all the patients coming into the ER. The nurse has no escape route what so ever. The walls are almost 6 feet tall so completely easy for the nurse to get trapped by an aggressive/ violent patient or even worse an active shooter.

Second we are over run with psych pts which I realize is a nation wide problem but our solution was to take an old utility closet and pack it with chairs. There is only one entrance/exit that our security guard sits at. The room is maybe 10 feet long and 5/6 feet wide. We stick between 4-6 patients in this room with no space in between them. Male and female. This cant be safe right? At least most of us don't feel safe about it. We have voiced our concerns to our interim management staff as well as hospital administrators but nothing has changed and it has now been months with this set up.

Who else can we go to?
