Can we as healthcare workers change our mindset about being assaulted?
Changing you mindset and changing your way of thinking!
We as healthcare workers have always given excuses to the patients that have assaulted us and accepted their wonderful apology of "I didn't mean to do that to you I am really sorry"
Being assaulted in the workplace has to stop! the verbal and physical assaults are at a all time high and are continuing without help from the powers to be.
It seems as though a lot of facilities are going to study the problem of assault towards healthcare workers.
WHAT is there to study?
make out your incident reports, call the police have them make out a report. if the place is unsafe call OSHA.keep copies of your reports. talk about the assaults ,Don"t keep quiet.
