I Got Covered in a Patient’s Pee… And Had to Keep Working | The ER Edit Ep. 3
In Episode 3 of The ER Edit, we talk about something that doesn’t get talked about enough: violence against nurses.
We react to a recent news story about a nurse being strangled at work and share our own experiences with workplace violence in the ER. From being assaulted by patients to the pressure of continuing your shift like nothing happened, we break down what this actually looks like in real life.
We also talk about the gray area of self defense in healthcare, why so many incidents go unreported, and why nurses are often expected to just deal with it.
This one is real, a little heavy, and something we think people need to hear.
