Thankfully you or no one else was harmed. I'm amazed that you have the courage to continue. Good work.<br/><br/>Btw, I'm a new nursing student blogger. I've added a link to your blog. Could you return the favor? That sounds very disturbing and frightening. Thankfully you or no one else was harmed. I’m amazed that you have the courage to continue. Good work.

Btw, I’m a new nursing student blogger. I’ve added a link to your blog. Could you return the favor?

Yup, stuff like this do happen (I've been in on the receiving end before). Hospital administration need to provide a safer work environment by not accepting this patient back into the unit. Either that or maybe they can take care of this patient themselves. Stay safe! Hi MJ,

I'm so sorry this happened to you and your co-workers. I can only imagine how scary that must have been. Even as just a tech at this point, I've had patients curse at me, try to grab me when I got close enough to their restraints and threaten me but I just can't imagine this.<br/>*I* am ticked that your manager would even think of taking this man back on to your floor. That's ridiculous. If he's sick them I'm sure they have a cell in the local jail that can hand him his meds through a set of bars.<br/>I'm glad everyone is okay. This really bites and quite honestly, scares the hell out of me.<br/>Hugs<br/>Dawn OMG MJ. I’m so sorry this happened to you and your co-workers. I can only imagine how scary that must have been.

You continue to raise hell until the sonofab!tch is put behind bars.

I think that the administration is so used to us nurses being accustomed to having patients be violent with us that they don’t see that it actually isn’t our jobs to be nice to continually violent attackers.

I am also partial to the death penalty for violent crime....and long stays away from work that include paid time off, psychiatric counseling, and alcohol. I feel your pain!

Whatever happened to "responsibility"? I wish I could say this is unbelievable, but since my husband and I have both worked on psych units, I know it’s not.

“Issues,” indeed. Whatever happened to “responsibility”?
