"Understaffed and overwhelmed"...is there a systemic problem that management does not deal with? Protection of staff also is protection of patients

Fight. Back.

Just to add to this article. Our hospital administration has failed to provide workplace violence prevention training for 3 years. It is required by CalOsha regulations to be yearly. Our CNO is lying. The staffing is getting worse. We've lost 41 nurses of about 190 just in the last year. 50% of our ED management has decided to step down from their positions because our administration is so toxic. Our ED RN director has failed to perform CPR on a pt back in Massachusetts, but is now allowed by the CNO to direct a level 1 trauma ED that serves 1.5 million people in SF and northern San Mateo. It's infuriating. Jules Mundo Kristen Bailey Silloway

So glad they charged him. It looks like maybe he was only charged though because a police officer witnessed it? Would like to know if the nurse or hospital charged him or the officer. Many hospitals don't have the moral courage to do so, hopefully this one did.

Can you imagine,. Living in a facility...... "Your Home" they say..... And maybe not every night, but once a week...... One of your "Roommates" looses control......And goes after, the very people....... You go to for help...... 🙄. Or God forbid little old Grammie, or Papa........ This is abuse 😭😭. It is horrible.

I am glad he was charged. Not only does this violence traumatize the staff but also any patients in hearing or visual areas of the incident. Imagine being helpless in a bed unable to run or hide and witness out of control people assaulting the very people you are depending on to keep you safe.

God bless our nurses.

I have been saying this for years; patients who are aggressive make it more difficult to care for others. When a staff is injured, at the very least it is extremely distracting for other staff even if the injury is minor. It is an a hospital's best interest to have a zero tolerance policy. We are just as important as the patients we treat, and no one patient is more important than the other.

"...the hospital argued to the D.C. Circuit that it was not on notice of the bounds of enforcement under the general duty clause" This comment from the Hospital shows their lack of concern and accountability. OSHA has been citing hospitals for over a decade for violating the general duty clause. Citations have increased exponentially within the last 5 years. If we as nurses are aware of this there is absolutely NO EXCUSE for Hospital Human Resource Departments to play dumb. Having said that, this shows why the language in the OSHA regulations needs to change from "recommended" to "mandated". ONLY THEN will hospitals be forced to take this serious. Everything they need to show them how to create a program and to train and maintain it is provided to them for FREE on OSHA's website.

Never allow others domestic problems into your workplace esp with religious backing, respect yourselves, respect others

Can I get this information emailed so I can forward it to my senators I’ve been in contact with?
