Today. I took a computer cord away from a dementia patient who already tried to hit me with it once. The nurse is frequently on her phone and called me a liar and threatened to report me because I told the resident she wasn’t allowed to hit me with it

She should be in behavior unit. Even morphine and Ativan don’t keep this woman down.

Unfortunately a lot of times it’ll get you fired if you take pictures because “a patient could’ve been in the frame” the bureaucracy at hospitals is insane
