I’m a nurse and I am so thankful that I haven’t had to work the past 4 years because our health care system in this country is on life support. People don’t realize how dangerous it is to be working short staffed when dealing with people’s lives.
@@amor2019 ughhh…I’m so sorry 🤦♀️. I’m doing everything I can not to have to come back…believe that!😉. If I think to much about it though it tends to start making me feel sad. I do miss taking care of people. It’s all the other BS that makes it unbearable. And that’s just a damn shame!
I am greatly In appreciation for the nurses and staff at Seattle children's especially the ED and PBMU as my son was a patient there recently and they do have to deal with a lot of scary and dangerous situations and have to not only be on guard for those patients that are suffereih but the others too and themselves. I feel bad I couldn't show more gratitude because they did an amazing job with my son. I can only pray they get the extra help they need
I worked as a security team member for a year and a half at a SW WA Hospital, mostly in close proximity to the ED Department, but responded throughout the Hospital as well. I enjoyed my time there, but numerous incidents where my team or other staff got injured caused me to rethink my personal safety. The Hospital wanted to portray us as "Customer Service Ambassadors" instead of ensuring the safety and security of the Hospital as the number one priority. Had the Hospital trained and equipped us to do our Job the way that it should have been done, I would probably have stayed.
The hopspital is liable to hire an armed guard if police won't station an officer there, try to film someone else dealing with violence & use that in a class-action lawsuit/hire a lawyer.
Teaching is so similar... We are short staffed, have over crowded classrooms... Worried about weapons brought to school, fights breaking out, possibly getting hit by a student, having to hide in a classroom because someone was waving a gun around outside... It's constant dread for low pay that barely makes ends meet. I just can't... Society... Specifically Parents.... need to help with these children but then you go try to find these parents and they are on drugs, don't care, or aren't involved... It's awful. How are we supposed to raise other people's children, take care of their health, and still try to support our own families when no one wants to help us? I'm leaving education and going into nursing because at least they make a livable wage. It's so awful but I want to help and also don't want to worry about having my car break down on me to work because I'm barely able to afford anything. People often say, "You chose to be a teacher..." Yeah I thought I could make a difference... I thought I would be teaching children science and have some respect in my field... But instead I'm teaching 8-12th graders how to read, trying to deesculate physical fights, trying to find rehab programs for youth, trying to give them therapy so they don't commit suicide, trying to keep children from being in a home where they are starving or being abused... And I get told I'm not doing enough when they are failing or I spend my entire paycheck so they can have projects that are not just a printed sheet of paper... Then people get upset when we beg for more pay. The school system takes our taxes and puts them into the pockets of those who are not in the classrooms. Those people who are in charge are ruining the lives of teachers and students. Most parents are just worried about you "watching" their children and do not actively do anything for their children. Then you have admin who just wants to put on a show for everyone and don't ever back up the teachers when we have problem students. Instead of hiring more support for teachers... they give themselves bonuses... It's so frustrating. I read comments of people saying, "you voted for this!" Ughh...no I did not. I work in AZ and I was born and raised along VA, NC, TN... education here is number 48!!! I'm 36 years old and have only been here for 13 years. I got into teaching 5 years ago and education was horrible long before I got here! It's awful because there are people that really care... We really care and we're out here working so hard but people blame us!? They blame those who are trying to do something??? Then everyone wonders why we leave? Would you stay? Would you do it? If not... You can't judge those of us who are begging for help. If you are judging us and expecting us to just figure it out alone...then you're part of the problem.
Hi, I considered elementary education but changed my major to nursing. When I did classroom observation, I noticed that the learning and teaching experience was so unproductive with 5th graders only having 1-2 sentences typed with 15 minutes on their independent assignment. Teaching is just too much, but so is nursing. Nothing seems easy within the current public sector. I also wanted to help, but it's nearly impossible because society is regressing day by day. Everything will only get worse. There is an undeniable increase in lawlessness and the normalization or celebration of wickedness across the Earth. The Bible says, "But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these." 2 Timothy 3:1-5 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 May God reveal His loving kindness to you and renew your heart and bring you to Jesus. Deny yourself and seek His face. Take care, everyone.
I understand where the nurses are coming from because Seattle has a lot of mentally ill people who are violent. It's very disturbing, I feel for these nurses
Its not so much mental illness as it is a massive increase in entitlement issues and parents that can't control their kids or instill any kind of values in them.
Travel Nurses? Get them permanent staff. Travel nurses need to be trained and shown all that goes on, how things work where things are. Theses nurses who work there need admin to take this seriously.
Private security would be better, SPD is overpaid and often useless. The fact that taxpayers are paying beat cops 120k a year, per person, to sit in their cars and drive around ignoring calls or running people over is crazy.
Recently, a nurse at a mental hospital in Kaneohe Hawaii was murdered by a patient because there wasn’t enough protection and security at the workplace.
I’m curious of what’s going on. The people here asking for help are the same ones that want to defund the police department’s, but now want security. What I read lately is there a lot of nurses but are not working in hospitals, Why? I think these nurses need to ask their hospitals why there aren’t more nurses Employed?
My teacher friend just got a girl transferred to her class who’s IEP states her diagnosis as psychopathic. This girl has been expelled from multiple schools for violence. She’s already been in two physical altercations at my friend’s school in the brief time there. As a teacher myself, I’ve had to deal with escalating violence over the past few years. Let me tell you, I am counting down the days to my retirement, hoping I’m not the victim of a school shooting or dangerous student.
@ronswansonsdog2833 Psychopathic? I admire you greatly for doing one of the most important jobs in America right now! Our kids are at a critical point! I thought a lot about being a substitute teacher. I'm 64 and would like to influence young people in a positive way. God bless you and stay safe! Thanks for writing.
I think there is alot that isn't being said here... the clinic that this person works in also handles "transitions"... Didn't take much research to figure that one out...
I work in healthcare in Seattle downtown. Besides the violence and safety issues, a lot of patients are entitled, rude, disrespectful to staff and doctors. So much hate in these people against group who are trained and trying to help. Seattle not only homelessness is an issue but the part of general population also have a lot of issues.
I went to get a covid shot and asked a simple question about it... the person giving me the shot accused me of being "intimidating" and "aggressive" for asking a simple question. I'm nearly 60... Maybe it's more of a "thin skin" problem?
@@tymcfadden8496 You may think you have asked simple naive and concise question that YOU think is justified. You gotta remember what you meant doesn't mean much if the other side does not receive it as such. We should know this by now at the age of 60s. There are always two sides to a story but think about it for a second, health care providers don't complain about every single patient they see but they complained about you. Have you ever thought for a brief moment that you may have been truly offensive, aggressive, and/or intimidating? It is strange how it is always someone else that is wrong but I am always right? Something to think about. I always deal with people who are passive aggressive and somehow they know what needs to be done, why they are coming to see us at a specialty clinic is beyond mystery. Some of these young and old have no manners at all day. We try to keep our professionalism and composure but a lot of them act like kids and plays customers always right in front of health care providers. It is exhausting. Not to mention patient who dine and dash. I have plenty of patients that I am friends with, in fact my best buddy in Seattle is my former patient. People will treat you the way you treated them. We all ought to know that.
personally speaking as someone with a lot of life experience at the ripe age of 20 and attending this hospital many times for health issues and the psych ward is severely overwhelmed by the amount of record breaking mental health and addiction and anxiety in children teens/young adults some of these kids have really severe mental problems and they are so full at times due to the mental health system not being as equipped in our country. it gets bad I’ve had to leave my room and be moved rooms at Seattle children’s hospital because of violent outbursts this was during bad COVID a couple years ago. But it happens every single time they are at capacity which is often. Mental health and eating disorders are the two biggest things that are popping up in kids younger than me and young adults like me. It’s sad and empathy is what these kids need including the sick mentally ill and disabled kids that are becoming young adults we just in general need more empathy and compassion these nurses are combatting the problem that they don’t have enough resources and staffing numbers to give these kids the one on one and supportive emotional care they need. We need to get a children’s mental health hospital and facility started ASAP because it’s only a number of years till these kids get older and it becomes a problem in life I cry thinking about how many of these kids will end up on the streets addicted or lost mentally. Correct and safe staffing numbers and resources r the best way to get to this point
Most of the events are not children trying to be harmful towards others it’s their own nervous system being haywire and in a overdrive where they can’t cope with whatever the main problem they are suffering from is. It’s genuinely just ugh please I hope if u didn’t realize u do now how much our whole system in our country is connected and how socially affected our new generations are we need better infrastructure within the way support is built up and given for everyone in our community involved. Childrens care and this problem is the same problem our whole society is facing it’s only gonna get worse as the generations grow and have more trauma in life harder to deal and heal from
The hospital is overcrowded with mental health patients. The hospital isn’t a mental health facility but is used as such because there aren’t other facilities.
@@CindyWalsh-k2othat’s funny because every time I’ve been to the hospital the “mental health” patients you speak of are all dope friend gypsies invited to the neighborhood by a plague of democrats
California is the only state with a legally mandated nurse to patient ratio. That should be the first step, follow California. A nurse that's taken out because she's injured in a facility that's already understaffed creates a bad situation into a worse one. Yes, these patients need care, but don't put more load on nurses they can safely take care of.
Washington State nurse unions are very passive. They are the reason why Washington State does not have state mandated patient ratios for the last 30 years. The California Nurse Association-nurse union is very aggressive. You do not mess with a CNA nurse. They will figuratively burn the place down. I have seen the nurses call ever week to the DOH with patient safety complaints when they are about to go on strike. They have weekly DOH investigators in the hospital on a weekly bases with following up on complaints. The Washington State nurse unions need to get a backbone. They are too embedded with hospital administrators, and want to appease them.
@jeffreyfrist7610 Lots of folks don't realize that having less nurses gets into more profit. Why hire the needed 5 nurses when you can get away with 3 or even better just 2 ? Being passive to me meant there's no law to protect these nurses from the threats that they'll be terminated and their lives disrupted. Yes, the "leaders" in nursing cease to be nurses, they've become part of administration, they've forgotten the difficulty, physically and psychologically of being overloaded with patients. Washington needs California law on this issue.
Google Libby Zion Lawsuit. In 1984, Libby Zion died while under the care of an overworked sleep-deprived medical intern. Well, Libby Zion happened to be the daughter of Sidney Zion, a well-known New York Times journalist. A lawsuit resulted in Libby Zion Law. It limits the number of hours on an doctor in training work schedule. I hope not, but I think something as catastrophic has to happen like that of Libby Zion before the workload on nurses is taken seriously into law.
@@jeffreyfrist7610 "too embedded..." Readers should pause on these words. I've observed in some of the union officers that they've gotten quite comfortable administration on not solving existing problems.
What's the alternative? A government monopoly on healthcare is probably the most terrifying thing I can imagine. Say what you will about capitalism, but do you really want the same bozos that run our government to be in charge of life or death decisions? I think not Profit is the incentive to customer satisfaction. If employees and customers are unhappy with the way they are treated, they can choose not to patronize that establishment. The company won't be profitable for long
Im a Registered Nurse of thirty years with a Psychiatric background. I Will Not work some where nurses are Short Staffed, especially with Psych patients!!! Way Too Dangerous for staff and certainly doesnt help these kids either!!! Should be against the Law!!!
I worked the penal code unit at Metropolitan State Hospital in So California. Everyone was trained in the management of assaultive behavior and security was available when nursing staff couldn't handle a problem. Without proper training and security there cannot be a therapeutic environment
I have been a nurse for 30 plus years so I am grateful the hospital I work for put in a metal detectors and security dogs. The past few years are the only time ever I felt unsafe at work on a regular basis
First off the patients are not “criminals” they have mental illnesses. Secondly, the nurses have access to hundreds of different drugs. Many of which can subdue a patient.
@@FlintYeastwood i was talking more in the sense of violent family members that become criminals (breaking the law) once they harm an employee. Thanks for ur response.
Higher some people With experience. Get rid of half of your Diversity hires. They don't pull their own weight. Focus on helping patience. Whenever body works as a team patients will get quality health care. And nurses and doctors won't be overwhelmed.
Once upon a time nurses and doctors were some what honest and cared about health! Today parents are terrified to bring there children to be seen! We don't know if you're telling the truth! It seems more like hospital care more about social work and getting paid then parents and sick kids!!!! Our children are not medical experiments. Our children belong to us parents to decide what's best! If They were honest maybe the energy would change!
As a 10-13 yr old, I was a resident of 2 child treatment facilities in the 70's. The horrors that went on behind those locked doors are some of the clearest memories of my childhood. From being locked in a wooden box for days to being handcuffed to a radiator and given injections of narcotics those places were always understaffed and staffed with sadists whose treatments always included a fist and a needle.
@@procore123 10yrs old Westbrook hospital I believe in Richmond Virginia. In a locked room with a mattress handcuffed on right arm to radiator and given daily Thorazine injections left thigh. For 2 weeks Fed twice with oatmeal and powered eggs I wasn't released till I came down with Tardive dyskinesia and rushed to emergency room because I couldn't control my neck muscles and almost died.
Serious question, I am not trying to insult these nurses or imply they aren't being abused (I couldn't do their job) but isn't this par for the course in a behavioral unit? Has something changed? Like most of the news these days I feel like I got half the story.
@@CindyWalsh-k2oya, I never voted for democrats segregating me from the hospital I was born at by declaration The VA is still segregated by democrat declarations You want to talk about dangerous??? DEMOCRATS ARE A HEALTHCARE HAZARD
@@Emmy-Jwho’s a bot? The lunatic democrats endorsing minor mutilation & election sabotaging democrat regulation by declaration? Imagine being the democrat community cancer & asking everyone what’s wrong
Everything about the environment nurses work in needs to be improved. Our top budget priorities should be teachers, nurses, and mental health counsellors. We also need to implement Universal Healthcare so people can be treated free of charge at point of service.
@@FlipMacz it's likely they said that at the end for the benefit of the story, as no one wants to badmouth kids - but the only patients being admitted into Children's Hospital are children.
Wanna feel safe don't get between parents and their children. We love our kids we will do anything for them. Physician do no harm. That includes The relationship between a parent and child. The system is not the parent. And has to absolutely respect that.
First of all, it is against the nurse practice for mandatory overtime! A nurse who works a mandatory 16 hour shift is significantly fatigued; and therefore, is impaired. It is against the nurse practice act to work impaired, whatever the reason for the impairment. Secondly, Washington state DOH regulations prevents mandatory overtime due to short staffing. There are many local nursing staffing agencies that can provide a temporary agency nurse from one shift to another. Although, it has not been utilized by the staffing agencies to provide a shift by shift nurse. It was a very common way in the early 2000 to provide staff nurse shortage relief per shift. At one time, most hospitals in Seattle had in the nursing staffing office a list of approximately 20 agencies in which they could call so each shift had adequate staffing. Therefore, there is no excuse for hospitals to claim short staffing that puts nurses and patients at risk. The hospitals need to open their pocket book and pay for per diem agency nurses so each shift is adequately staffed. If any hospital in Washington State is doing mandatory overtime, the nurses need to coordinate with their nurse union rep and file a complaint against the hospital. This is clearly against the nurse practice act, and state regulations. It is against Washington state law! Any nurse can and should refuse mandatory overtime! They are putting their license at risk. A fatal error in judgment while fatigue may result in serious action against a nurse’s license including revocation of their license. A sentinel event while working fatigue in doing a mandatory 16 hour overtime shift could result in a civil legal action, or worse. For example, Radonda Vaught case at Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville, Tn. While her nursing errors were not as a result of mandatory shift. Nevertheless, her errors resulted in a death of a patient, and she was convicted of felony. Nurses always need to refuse mandatory overtime!
@@Charles-d4e3b maybe the better question is if you are s very sick patient in the intensive care unit on life support and 9 IV drips would you want a nurse as your nurse who is significantly fatigued taking care of you who has just worked 13 hours, and will be your nurse for another 3 hours-probably with no break in those 13 hours. Thar nurse got out of bed at 5pm the previous day to report to work at 7pm. That nurse was your nurse from 7pm to 7am the next day. It’s now 9am the next day, and that nurse cannot get off until 11:30am or 12 noon. After being up all night taking care of you that nurse HAS to report back to work at 7pm to take care of you all night long from 7pm to 730am. Now tell me you want that nurse taking care of you, or your wife or your husband, or your child. Think about that! This is not an exercise of what ifs! I have put my money where my mouth is! In 2015, I went back on staff at the very first hospital I went on staff as a new nurse in ‘89. At Parkview hospital in Fort Wayne, In. Indiana does not have nurse unions. The hospital had mandatory overtime. I was told when it was my turn for mandatory overtime I would have to work, or I would face termination. The previous year a male nurse who had kids in day care was terminated for refusing overtime because he could not leave his kids in day care while he worked a 16 hour shift. For medical reasons, I could not work a mandatory 16 hour shift. I was told i would have to apply for intermittent FMLA. I was not eligible for FLMA because I had not been there for 12 months, nor worked the federally required number of hours during that 12 months. As a result, I resigned effective immediately. 2 days later, I literally walked to the Fort Wayne Gazette and talked to reporter Sherry Slater. I told Sherry the hospital put nurse and patient at risk, and it put the nurse in jeopardy of violating the nurse practice act. She published a rather lengthy article in the Fort Wayne Gazette. It was not favorable for the hospital. The hospital was scared I was going to start a union at their hospital. Months later, I was told by a nurse professor at Purdue School of Nursing at Fort Wayne that I was revered as a local hero for standing up to the hospital. If I had stayed in Fort Wayne, I would have started a union at Parkview. Thanks to Vice President Mike Pence when he was the Governor or Indiana, he made it basically illegal for unions to form in Indiana. Just 6mos prior to my article being published, 2 nurse-1 at Indiana University Medical Center, and another at Clarion Health were wrongfully terminated for attempting to organize a union at those hospitals. It violated federal law which states employees have the right to organize and form a union. They were reinstated. So, when I speak.. regarding these issues it comes from a strong conviction of thought and action! This why I say and mean the Washington State nurse unions are passive and need to grow a backbone!!!!
Thats a bummer, sometimes there are bad people out there, and sometimes there are bad people working in hospitals. In southern Oregon when my son was born I had hospital staff lie about me and the condition of my newborn son. I disagreed with what they were doing and they lied so that he got taken away. I do not think that a person should be doing drugs or alcohol while pregnant, but what a person does with their own body, especially a women's body, is her choice, whether his mother had been using drugs while pregnant or if she didn't isn't my choice, it wasn't my son's choice, it was hers just like it was her choice to not have an abortion, she gave my son life she gave him a part of her, and part of her had drugs it. But she gave him life and after giving him life and carrying him in her womb for 9months the minute he's born they start trying to take him and report us for child abuse. How is it possible that she or I abused our son? When he was given life from her but for any reason that same day she could have had a abortion and ended his life before it began and that's fine? What weird country are we living in when a hospital reports people because they come their to give birth to their child and they say they abused them when they never even got to take him home. Untill this happened I thought that people that have their kids taken away deserve it because they are doing something to hurt the child like beat them or neglect them. It a women's choice whether or not to get an abortion because it's her body, she can do with it as she pleases. If a person does drugs than that's their choice, it's their body but if a women is pregnant and does drugs and gets an abortion that's fine that's her body. But if a women does drugs and gives birth than that's child abuse? What kind of bizzaro place are we living in. Did you know that the reason thet some pediatric units have locks on the door and you have to get ask to leave or that the newborn had a tag or beeper with them? It's not because strangers a running of with childre, just stealing kid I'm sure that 2% of the time that's the case but the main reason is to stop parents from leaving with their childreThats a bummer, sometimes there are bad people out there, and sometimes there are bad people working in hospitals.

Amber alerts you hear on the radio a majority of the time it's not thn. Amber alerts you hear on the radio a majority of the time it's not strangers running off with someone else's kid, most of the time it's a biological parent with their own kids. It's ridiculous to think because a person does drugs will abuse or neglect their child. Sure people that do abuse or neglect their child do drugs but so do people that don't use illegal drugs. What makes a drug illegal? Who knows, it's not you or I or doctors or anyone with common sense.you may have heard about they decriminalized personal amounts of drugs In Parts of Oregon and California and how crime and homelessness have gone up, but what do you think is going to happen when you only decriminalize personal use only. Drugs are expensive so just because you can buy them from some dude down the road they are still expensive.do people think that crime and homelessness and gang activity would higher if you could go down Walgreens and buy whatever drug you wanted for $20 an oz instead of $400 to $2000 an oz? Not if they were affordable,people would have money for a place to stay ,people wouldn't have to steal because the drugs are cheap and the gang activity would go way down because they wouldn't have a way to make as much money. Do you think people would be dying in the streets because of fentanyl if they could grow or buy opium? No they wouldn't. A plant....stopping people from growing or getting opium which they don't even have an option for is like if you only were able to buy everclear if you wanted to drink alcohol no beer or whiskey or wine just the hardest stuff you can get. What's worse homelessness in the streets because of fentanyl or people in opium dens? If you think that if people get what they deserve for doing fentanyl because they know it's dangerous than why are drugs illegal to begin with if it's not because it's dangerous and to keep people safe when trying to keep people safe causes more people to due and all the negative that comes along with keeping drugs illegal. And to say illegal drugs are bad is the same thing as saying legal drugs are good which is a crock. When things are used responsibly than that's well and dandy but it's a persons choice what they do to their body what want. But if they can to to their own body what they want without being punished than whose body is it if it's not yours.
These kinds of behaviors are normal in this field, and it sounds like a simple issue of being under staffed, big time. Lack of sleep will make you irritable which the client will feed into, and less quick to respond and appropriately deescalate situations. When I say I know her situation, its not BS. This is a staffing issue and I hear nothing that tells me otherwise. Which is unethical on a number of levels.
Some nurses want the hospital to make changes to ensure their safety but do they offer an ideas??? We live in times where people get up in arms for things to be changed but very rarely do the ones calling for change have any ideas on how to change things. If you want something to change come up with a plan or plans for change, then take the ideas to the people who can implement the change. Going on tv and soliciting sympathy probably won’t get you anywhere. People will forget about your three minutes of aired attention by tomorrow.
You think a 2 minute news story is covering every aspect? The story did hint at a letter written by the nurses…I am sure that had further details you weren’t made privy to because you’re not a stakeholder.

The hopspital is liable to hire an armed guard if police won't station an officer there, try to film someone else dealing with violence & use that in a class-action lawsuit/hire a lawyer.
Whoa when did those nurses support police?
Sorry but voters demanded we defund the Police.
That shouldn't happen in a hospital of all places.
Remember when they fired hospital staff over vaccine mandates? 😂
YES!!! And yet, they NEVER talk about this!!!!!
Can’t get into nursing school without the vax!
Crazy Seattle
@@gabsterup still??? Isn’t that illegal medical discrimination?
Yep.
Teaching is so similar... We are short staffed, have over crowded classrooms... Worried about weapons brought to school, fights breaking out, possibly getting hit by a student, having to hide in a classroom because someone was waving a gun around outside... It's constant dread for low pay that barely makes ends meet. I just can't... Society... Specifically Parents.... need to help with these children but then you go try to find these parents and they are on drugs, don't care, or aren't involved... It's awful. How are we supposed to raise other people's children, take care of their health, and still try to support our own families when no one wants to help us? I'm leaving education and going into nursing because at least they make a livable wage. It's so awful but I want to help and also don't want to worry about having my car break down on me to work because I'm barely able to afford anything. People often say, "You chose to be a teacher..." Yeah I thought I could make a difference... I thought I would be teaching children science and have some respect in my field... But instead I'm teaching 8-12th graders how to read, trying to deesculate physical fights, trying to find rehab programs for youth, trying to give them therapy so they don't commit suicide, trying to keep children from being in a home where they are starving or being abused... And I get told I'm not doing enough when they are failing or I spend my entire paycheck so they can have projects that are not just a printed sheet of paper... Then people get upset when we beg for more pay. The school system takes our taxes and puts them into the pockets of those who are not in the classrooms. Those people who are in charge are ruining the lives of teachers and students. Most parents are just worried about you "watching" their children and do not actively do anything for their children. Then you have admin who just wants to put on a show for everyone and don't ever back up the teachers when we have problem students. Instead of hiring more support for teachers... they give themselves bonuses... It's so frustrating. I read comments of people saying, "you voted for this!" Ughh...no I did not. I work in AZ and I was born and raised along VA, NC, TN... education here is number 48!!! I'm 36 years old and have only been here for 13 years. I got into teaching 5 years ago and education was horrible long before I got here! It's awful because there are people that really care... We really care and we're out here working so hard but people blame us!? They blame those who are trying to do something??? Then everyone wonders why we leave? Would you stay? Would you do it? If not... You can't judge those of us who are begging for help. If you are judging us and expecting us to just figure it out alone...then you're part of the problem.
Hi, I considered elementary education but changed my major to nursing. When I did classroom observation, I noticed that the learning and teaching experience was so unproductive with 5th graders only having 1-2 sentences typed with 15 minutes on their independent assignment. Teaching is just too much, but so is nursing. Nothing seems easy within the current public sector. I also wanted to help, but it's nearly impossible because society is regressing day by day. Everything will only get worse. There is an undeniable increase in lawlessness and the normalization or celebration of wickedness across the Earth. The Bible says,
"But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these."
2 Timothy 3:1-5 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995
May God reveal His loving kindness to you and renew your heart and bring you to Jesus. Deny yourself and seek His face. Take care, everyone.
Police are bad remember that
I agree our public schools are terrible.
I understand where the nurses are coming from because Seattle has a lot of mentally ill people who are violent. It's very disturbing, I feel for these nurses
These are children, it shouldn’t be. This, again, is a parenting issue.
@@Mita7538Yes a parenting issue because they cannot control a child with extreme autism 🤡
Its not so much mental illness as it is a massive increase in entitlement issues and parents that can't control their kids or instill any kind of values in them.
Nutrition too. Low iron = aggression
Psych meds side effects 🧐
What happened to the Mental Hospitals for the behavioral problem patients? Hmm
That funding went to helping “asylum seekers”
Public opinion changed. People realized that mental hospitals were inhumane. Mental hospitals had a long history of abuse and neglect of patients.
Travel Nurses? Get them permanent staff. Travel nurses need to be trained and shown all that goes on, how things work where things are. Theses nurses who work there need admin to take this seriously.
The positions have been there, there's not enough nurses, especially who would choose to work in a violent environment, knowing there is no security.
They want safety officers? Didnt most of these people vote to defund law enforcement?
Private security would be better, SPD is overpaid and often useless. The fact that taxpayers are paying beat cops 120k a year, per person, to sit in their cars and drive around ignoring calls or running people over is crazy.
@@robertfergusson5367there’s no difference. You need to do a ride along with SPD and see for yourself.
Recently, a nurse at a mental hospital in Kaneohe Hawaii was murdered by a patient because there wasn’t enough protection and security at the workplace.
I’m curious of what’s going on. The people here asking for help are the same ones that want to defund the police department’s, but now want security. What I read lately is there a lot of nurses but are not working in hospitals, Why? I think these nurses need to ask their hospitals why there aren’t more nurses Employed?
They also fired many workers for refusing the mass-compliance test.
Crazy Seattle people, the nurses interviewed here are straight liberals, the ones who wanted to defund the police as a result Seattle has gone haywire
Same things are happening to teachers!
My teacher friend just got a girl transferred to her class who’s IEP states her diagnosis as psychopathic. This girl has been expelled from multiple schools for violence. She’s already been in two physical altercations at my friend’s school in the brief time there. As a teacher myself, I’ve had to deal with escalating violence over the past few years. Let me tell you, I am counting down the days to my retirement, hoping I’m not the victim of a school shooting or dangerous student.
@ronswansonsdog2833 Psychopathic? I admire you greatly for doing one of the most important jobs in America right now! Our kids are at a critical point! I thought a lot about being a substitute teacher. I'm 64 and would like to influence young people in a positive way. God bless you and stay safe! Thanks for writing.
@@ronswansonsdog2833just remember though the police are bad and you handle it
MANDATORY 16 hours. No Then your nurse is probably have to fight to get paid holiday pay. And strike to get a raise….
Sounds like Children's hospital needs to remove the administration and management. Story after story of failures against patients and staff.
I think there is alot that isn't being said here... the clinic that this person works in also handles "transitions"...
Didn't take much research to figure that one out...
Interesting
So it’s a democrat minor mutilation club
lots of failed parenting
A childrens hospital with patients who are psychopaths? Where are the insane asylums?
I work in healthcare in Seattle downtown. Besides the violence and safety issues, a lot of patients are entitled, rude, disrespectful to staff and doctors. So much hate in these people against group who are trained and trying to help.
Seattle not only homelessness is an issue but the part of general population also have a lot of issues.
I went to get a covid shot and asked a simple question about it... the person giving me the shot accused me of being "intimidating" and "aggressive" for asking a simple question. I'm nearly 60... Maybe it's more of a "thin skin" problem?
@@tymcfadden8496 You may think you have asked simple naive and concise question that YOU think is justified. You gotta remember what you meant doesn't mean much if the other side does not receive it as such. We should know this by now at the age of 60s.
There are always two sides to a story but think about it for a second, health care providers don't complain about every single patient they see but they complained about you. Have you ever thought for a brief moment that you may have been truly offensive, aggressive, and/or intimidating? It is strange how it is always someone else that is wrong but I am always right? Something to think about.
I always deal with people who are passive aggressive and somehow they know what needs to be done, why they are coming to see us at a specialty clinic is beyond mystery. Some of these young and old have no manners at all day. We try to keep our professionalism and composure but a lot of them act like kids and plays customers always right in front of health care providers. It is exhausting. Not to mention patient who dine and dash. I have plenty of patients that I am friends with, in fact my best buddy in Seattle is my former patient.
People will treat you the way you treated them. We all ought to know that.
What has caused this to become so bad?
Failed liberal policies.
personally speaking as someone with a lot of life experience at the ripe age of 20 and attending this hospital many times for health issues and the psych ward is severely overwhelmed by the amount of record breaking mental health and addiction and anxiety in children teens/young adults some of these kids have really severe mental problems and they are so full at times due to the mental health system not being as equipped in our country. it gets bad I’ve had to leave my room and be moved rooms at Seattle children’s hospital because of violent outbursts this was during bad COVID a couple years ago. But it happens every single time they are at capacity which is often. Mental health and eating disorders are the two biggest things that are popping up in kids younger than me and young adults like me. It’s sad and empathy is what these kids need including the sick mentally ill and disabled kids that are becoming young adults we just in general need more empathy and compassion these nurses are combatting the problem that they don’t have enough resources and staffing numbers to give these kids the one on one and supportive emotional care they need. We need to get a children’s mental health hospital and facility started ASAP because it’s only a number of years till these kids get older and it becomes a problem in life I cry thinking about how many of these kids will end up on the streets addicted or lost mentally. Correct and safe staffing numbers and resources r the best way to get to this point
Most of the events are not children trying to be harmful towards others it’s their own nervous system being haywire and in a overdrive where they can’t cope with whatever the main problem they are suffering from is. It’s genuinely just ugh please I hope if u didn’t realize u do now how much our whole system in our country is connected and how socially affected our new generations are we need better infrastructure within the way support is built up and given for everyone in our community involved. Childrens care and this problem is the same problem our whole society is facing it’s only gonna get worse as the generations grow and have more trauma in life harder to deal and heal from
The hospital is overcrowded with mental health patients. The hospital isn’t a mental health facility but is used as such because there aren’t other facilities.
@@CindyWalsh-k2othat’s funny because every time I’ve been to the hospital the “mental health” patients you speak of are all dope friend gypsies invited to the neighborhood by a plague of democrats
California is the only state with a legally mandated nurse to patient ratio. That should be the first step, follow California. A nurse that's taken out because she's injured in a facility that's already understaffed creates a bad situation into a worse one. Yes, these patients need care, but don't put more load on nurses they can safely take care of.
Washington State nurse unions are very passive. They are the reason why Washington State does not have state mandated patient ratios for the last 30 years. The California Nurse Association-nurse union is very aggressive. You do not mess with a CNA nurse. They will figuratively burn the place down. I have seen the nurses call ever week to the DOH with patient safety complaints when they are about to go on strike. They have weekly DOH investigators in the hospital on a weekly bases with following up on complaints. The Washington State nurse unions need to get a backbone. They are too embedded with hospital administrators, and want to appease them.
@jeffreyfrist7610 Lots of folks don't realize that having less nurses gets into more profit. Why hire the needed 5 nurses when you can get away with 3 or even better just 2 ? Being passive to me meant there's no law to protect these nurses from the threats that they'll be terminated and their lives disrupted. Yes, the "leaders" in nursing cease to be nurses, they've become part of administration, they've forgotten the difficulty, physically and psychologically of being overloaded with patients. Washington needs California law on this issue.
Google Libby Zion Lawsuit. In 1984, Libby Zion died while under the care of an overworked sleep-deprived medical intern. Well, Libby Zion happened to be the daughter of Sidney Zion, a well-known New York Times journalist. A lawsuit resulted in Libby Zion Law. It limits the number of hours on an doctor in training work schedule.
I hope not, but I think something as catastrophic has to happen like that of Libby Zion before the workload on nurses is taken seriously into law.
@@jeffreyfrist7610 "too embedded..." Readers should pause on these words. I've observed in some of the union officers that they've gotten quite comfortable administration on not solving existing problems.
Hospitals refuse to hire more staff because we have such a great for profit medical system. Look how well it's working.
Wow this is crazy the same thing is going on at echo glen and also continuing going on at foster care homes with DSHS
This is what happens when corporations buy hospitals! They care for profit not employees nor patients.
What's the alternative? A government monopoly on healthcare is probably the most terrifying thing I can imagine. Say what you will about capitalism, but do you really want the same bozos that run our government to be in charge of life or death decisions? I think not
Profit is the incentive to customer satisfaction. If employees and customers are unhappy with the way they are treated, they can choose not to patronize that establishment. The company won't be profitable for long
Im a Registered Nurse of thirty years with a Psychiatric background. I Will Not work some where nurses are Short Staffed, especially with Psych patients!!!
Way Too Dangerous for staff and certainly doesnt help these kids either!!!
Should be against the Law!!!
I worked the penal code unit at Metropolitan State Hospital in So California. Everyone was trained in the management of assaultive behavior and security was available when nursing staff couldn't handle a problem. Without proper training and security there cannot be a therapeutic environment

Can a nurse defend themselves when attacked on the job? If they know a martial art? To subdue the criminal not harm them intentionally
First off the patients are not “criminals” they have mental illnesses. Secondly, the nurses have access to hundreds of different drugs. Many of which can subdue a patient.
@@FlintYeastwood i was talking more in the sense of violent family members that become criminals (breaking the law) once they harm an employee. Thanks for ur response.

Thats many many hospitals out there
The administration will never support you ever!
Never mind, you're a proud Democrat.
Once upon a time nurses and doctors were some what honest and cared about health! Today parents are terrified to bring there children to be seen! We don't know if you're telling the truth! It seems more like hospital care more about social work and getting paid then parents and sick kids!!!! Our children are not medical experiments. Our children belong to us parents to decide what's best! If They were honest maybe the energy would change!
As a 10-13 yr old, I was a resident of 2 child treatment facilities in the 70's. The horrors that went on behind those locked doors are some of the clearest memories of my childhood. From being locked in a wooden box for days to being handcuffed to a radiator and given injections of narcotics those places were always understaffed and staffed with sadists whose treatments always included a fist and a needle.
Why though were u there???
Handcuffed to a radiator?
@@procore123 10yrs old Westbrook hospital I believe in Richmond Virginia. In a locked room with a mattress handcuffed on right arm to radiator and given daily Thorazine injections left thigh. For 2 weeks Fed twice with oatmeal and powered eggs
I wasn't released till I came down with Tardive dyskinesia and rushed to emergency room because I couldn't control my neck muscles and almost died.
What changed?
Serious question, I am not trying to insult these nurses or imply they aren't being abused (I couldn't do their job) but isn't this par for the course in a behavioral unit? Has something changed? Like most of the news these days I feel like I got half the story.
This is sad for the nurses and children

First of all, it is against the nurse practice for mandatory overtime! A nurse who works a mandatory 16 hour shift is significantly fatigued; and therefore, is impaired. It is against the nurse practice act to work impaired, whatever the reason for the impairment. Secondly, Washington state DOH regulations prevents mandatory overtime due to short staffing. There are many local nursing staffing agencies that can provide a temporary agency nurse from one shift to another. Although, it has not been utilized by the staffing agencies to provide a shift by shift nurse. It was a very common way in the early 2000 to provide staff nurse shortage relief per shift. At one time, most hospitals in Seattle had in the nursing staffing office a list of approximately 20 agencies in which they could call so each shift had adequate staffing. Therefore, there is no excuse for hospitals to claim short staffing that puts nurses and patients at risk. The hospitals need to open their pocket book and pay for per diem agency nurses so each shift is adequately staffed. If any hospital in Washington State is doing mandatory overtime, the nurses need to coordinate with their nurse union rep and file a complaint against the hospital. This is clearly against the nurse practice act, and state regulations. It is against Washington state law! Any nurse can and should refuse mandatory overtime! They are putting their license at risk. A fatal error in judgment while fatigue may result in serious action against a nurse’s license including revocation of their license. A sentinel event while working fatigue in doing a mandatory 16 hour overtime shift could result in a civil legal action, or worse. For example, Radonda Vaught case at Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville, Tn. While her nursing errors were not as a result of mandatory shift. Nevertheless, her errors resulted in a death of a patient, and she was convicted of felony. Nurses always need to refuse mandatory overtime!
Can cops and jail guards refuse as well? Or they must stay
@@Charles-d4e3b maybe the better question is if you are s very sick patient in the intensive care unit on life support and 9 IV drips would you want a nurse as your nurse who is significantly fatigued taking care of you who has just worked 13 hours, and will be your nurse for another 3 hours-probably with no break in those 13 hours. Thar nurse got out of bed at 5pm the previous day to report to work at 7pm. That nurse was your nurse from 7pm to 7am the next day. It’s now 9am the next day, and that nurse cannot get off until 11:30am or 12 noon. After being up all night taking care of you that nurse HAS to report back to work at 7pm to take care of you all night long from 7pm to 730am. Now tell me you want that nurse taking care of you, or your wife or your husband, or your child. Think about that!
This is not an exercise of what ifs! I have put my money where my mouth is!
In 2015, I went back on staff at the very first hospital I went on staff as a new nurse in ‘89. At Parkview hospital in Fort Wayne, In. Indiana does not have nurse unions. The hospital had mandatory overtime. I was told when it was my turn for mandatory overtime I would have to work, or I would face termination. The previous year a male nurse who had kids in day care was terminated for refusing overtime because he could not leave his kids in day care while he worked a 16 hour shift.
For medical reasons, I could not work a mandatory 16 hour shift. I was told i would have to apply for intermittent FMLA. I was not eligible for FLMA because I had not been there for 12 months, nor worked the federally required number of hours during that 12 months. As a result, I resigned effective immediately.
2 days later, I literally walked to the Fort Wayne Gazette and talked to reporter Sherry Slater. I told Sherry the hospital put nurse and patient at risk, and it put the nurse in jeopardy of violating the nurse practice act.
She published a rather lengthy article in the Fort Wayne Gazette. It was not favorable for the hospital. The hospital was scared I was going to start a union at their hospital.
Months later, I was told by a nurse professor at Purdue School of Nursing at Fort Wayne that I was revered as a local hero for standing up to the hospital. If I had stayed in Fort Wayne, I would have started a union at Parkview.
Thanks to Vice President Mike Pence when he was the Governor or Indiana, he made it basically illegal for unions to form in Indiana. Just 6mos prior to my article being published, 2 nurse-1 at Indiana University Medical Center, and another at Clarion Health were wrongfully terminated for attempting to organize a union at those hospitals. It violated federal law which states employees have the right to organize and form a union. They were reinstated.
So, when I speak.. regarding these issues it comes from a strong conviction of thought and action! This why I say and mean the Washington State nurse unions are passive and need to grow a backbone!!!!

Thats a bummer, sometimes there are bad people out there, and sometimes there are bad people working in hospitals. In southern Oregon when my son was born I had hospital staff lie about me and the condition of my newborn son. I disagreed with what they were doing and they lied so that he got taken away. I do not think that a person should be doing drugs or alcohol while pregnant, but what a person does with their own body, especially a women's body, is her choice, whether his mother had been using drugs while pregnant or if she didn't isn't my choice, it wasn't my son's choice, it was hers just like it was her choice to not have an abortion, she gave my son life she gave him a part of her, and part of her had drugs it. But she gave him life and after giving him life and carrying him in her womb for 9months the minute he's born they start trying to take him and report us for child abuse. How is it possible that she or I abused our son? When he was given life from her but for any reason that same day she could have had a abortion and ended his life before it began and that's fine? What weird country are we living in when a hospital reports people because they come their to give birth to their child and they say they abused them when they never even got to take him home. Untill this happened I thought that people that have their kids taken away deserve it because they are doing something to hurt the child like beat them or neglect them. It a women's choice whether or not to get an abortion because it's her body, she can do with it as she pleases. If a person does drugs than that's their choice, it's their body but if a women is pregnant and does drugs and gets an abortion that's fine that's her body.

Did you know that the reason thet some pediatric units have locks on the door and you have to get ask to leave or that the newborn had a tag or beeper with them? It's not because strangers a running of with childre, just stealing kid I'm sure that 2% of the time that's the case but the main reason is to stop parents from leaving with their childreThats a bummer, sometimes there are bad people out there, and sometimes there are bad people working in hospitals.

Drugs are expensive so just because you can buy them from some dude down the road they are still expensive.do people think that crime and homelessness and gang activity would higher if you could go down Walgreens and buy whatever drug you wanted for $20 an oz instead of $400 to $2000 an oz? Not if they were affordable,people would have money for a place to stay ,people wouldn't have to steal because the drugs are cheap and the gang activity would go way down because they wouldn't have a way to make as much money. Do you think people would be dying in the streets because of fentanyl if they could grow or buy opium? No they wouldn't. A plant....stopping people from growing or getting opium which they don't even have an option for is like if you only were able to buy everclear if you wanted to drink alcohol no beer or whiskey or wine just the hardest stuff you can get. What's worse homelessness in the streets because of fentanyl or people in opium dens? If you think that if people get what they deserve for doing fentanyl because they know it's dangerous than why are drugs illegal to begin with if it's not because it's dangerous and to keep people safe when trying to keep people safe causes more people to due and all the negative that comes along with keeping drugs illegal. And to say illegal drugs are bad is the same thing as saying legal drugs are good which is a crock. When things are used responsibly than that's well and dandy but it's a persons choice what they do to their body what want. But if they can to to their own body what they want without being punished than whose body is it if it's not yours.
These kinds of behaviors are normal in this field, and it sounds like a simple issue of being under staffed, big time. Lack of sleep will make you irritable which the client will feed into, and less quick to respond and appropriately deescalate situations. When I say I know her situation, its not BS. This is a staffing issue and I hear nothing that tells me otherwise. Which is unethical on a number of levels.
Quit!!
Some nurses want the hospital to make changes to ensure their safety but do they offer an ideas??? We live in times where people get up in arms for things to be changed but very rarely do the ones calling for change have any ideas on how to change things. If you want something to change come up with a plan or plans for change, then take the ideas to the people who can implement the change. Going on tv and soliciting sympathy probably won’t get you anywhere. People will forget about your three minutes of aired attention by tomorrow.
You think a 2 minute news story is covering every aspect? The story did hint at a letter written by the nurses…I am sure that had further details you weren’t made privy to because you’re not a stakeholder.
We need the R word, that's too scary for the internet masters to use.
@@BajatheChickenManisn’t it unbelievable social media employees (all democrats) were censuring & electioneering and absolutely nothing has been done about it???

No. The kids are in danger. The staff is in danger. In what world do you live in that you believe placing your beloved children in a situation of harm is okay.
