@the.nurse.erica: Make it make sense #news #nurse #hospital

Dee :

Most nyc hospitals outside of the HHC. Do not have armed security guards. So they really can’t do much. When it comes to someone with weapons.

Bubbles :

I’m pretty sure the security at my hospital is only concerned about where employees are parking

Sally :

One security guard versus someone in psychosis? We can’t judge this person and it’s been five years since I worked in New York and security did not carry a gun for any kind of self-defense. They are allowed to wear bulletproof best though, but the nurses aren’t., I actually wouldn’t want him because it would be really hot, but I would like to have one available if I felt like my life was in danger. Hospital executives are the ones to blame. All they care about is the shareholders they leave skeleton staff to manage undiagnosed psychiatric people., you never know when someone’s gonna break and sometimes people get really frustrated in hospitals . I’m really sick of hearing about healthcare workers having to go into disability because of lack of proper management. Look at that Nurse nearly lost her life. She’ll never work again. And she had to rely on go fund me to take care of her not the hospital that you worked for for 30 years.

Rhonda Chatman :

That patient was his wife. He was an honorable fire fighter and policemen. That was my son’s best friend uncle

Delle The Brain :

The security officer needs to find a new gig no shade

Kat :

I absolutely believe that the security guard and the patient have PTSD. However, if it had been a nurse held hostage, mgt would have asked what they could have done to prevent the situation. There would have been NO SHITS given about anxiety or trauma. Not to mention they would have been expected to finish their shift and been told that it’s an expected hazard of the job!

Lothiriel_Mae :

Had a patient ask why there were literally 40 squad cars and SWAT parked outside. Found out at the end of my shift that a prisoner/patient on the second floor overpowered the correctional officer and tased her with her own taser and she shot him. This happened on the 2nd floor while I was working on the 4th and no one told us while it was happening.

Erika Rachael | NYC RN 🩺 :

Thank you for speaking up about this!!! This is one of the many reasons why NYSNA nurses are going to be on strike

Beck :

This sounds like he was having a mental health crisis and maybe he wanted to die and people were trying to stop him? Just trying to imagine it from what I heard you say without additional information.

user5787812089773 :

One night in our 30 bed ER we had 78 yr old 135lb paw paw in uniform holding onto rails on wall while walking he needed knee replacements then to only find out he was the only one for entire hospital .😳

DogmomRN :

You can make a shank out of anything. Learned that working corrections.

Wear your sunscreen! :

My last hospital had a code silver and we were never informed. I worked in an outpatient clinic where patients were coming and going right through the code silver zone. And no one thought to let us know.

Kb :

oh yeah he got a workers comp case out of his dysfunction. this way he has an excuse for his inefficiency. omg, at one point in time Methodist was the BEST hospital in Brooklyn. before Presbyterian took over and cut it to bare bones. 25 years when I graduated I dreamt of working there.

Lys :

Our security officers were like 80yo and all had a limp

Dxpz :

the fact that the guard had the courage to try to de esclate someone with a live weapon. dont bring that on the guard

Tracey Beth :

OMG

This is accountable media coverage.

user6437885359489 :

I also bet there are no fewer than 5 work orders to fix the toilet seat.

Diane :

These hospitals’ administration couldn’t care less about the safety of patients or staff. It’s all about money & nothing else.

Stacey :

Security is pointless at mercy.

Guardianofmygirls :

was security armed? if not, what can they do?

nannydoop :

If you saw some of the security where I work you wld understand why security probably didn’t intervene. 🤦🏼‍♀️
