when a b52 doesnt touch a patient
we have a 6+ foot 280+ pound dude on the floor now who has had to be b52 etc/manually restrained pretty much every shift. I understand he cant necessarily help it but when you are jumping the nurses station (along with 4 other patients joining in) there is little room for redirection. vistaril aint cutting it when youre picking up 300 pound chairs and attempting to throw them and calling everyone the N word or bum rushing other patients rooms. just pure insanity all around.
every time I go to work (in fact we just had 3 nurses quit in one day after the nurses station jumping part) I wonder if its going to be my last day on earth when im on this unit. b52 doesnt even touch this dude EVER. so dont know why they wont try something else or if there's something else they can even try. seclusion room has done nothing because the second he "calms" down and comes out hes right back at it again. ive only been here for a month and im ready to be done but genuinely I wonder how patients like this will ever be able to reintergrate with society and it honestly makes me sad that your brain is soooo scrambled that this is how you are.
I am of the belief that some of these patients there will never be a full "normal" but at least something where they can be more stable but at what point of you beating everybody's ass when no meds on earth seem to be working is enough enough.
no security btw.
