It isn't easy trying to get information and actually believing what I do get. A simple question can lead to some serious discussion and all I want is a simple answer,
So here goes!
1. What is the difference between contract guards and guards that are employed by the facility.

2, Who is responsible for the contract guards ? the facility? or where they are contracted from?

3.What is the level of training if they are contracted?

4.How do we as healthcare workers know what they can do and not do? Our lives depend on that!

5. How many guards are assigned to the facility? is it the same for contract ?

6.Who gives this information to the charge nurse of supervisor?

7.What if they are short staffed? Does that make it more dangerous for us?

8.How do we know if they are hands on or hands off?

9.Do any guards carry weapons? Tasers,pepper spray,mace How do we learn that?

 I am just curious if things have changed! I think it is important that we know what everyone is doing in this time of  this violence  epidemic against healthcare workers!
