I been a nurse for 2 decades. Parents were both nurses as well. ICU and post anesthesia the last decade.
If they guy was still half out and was obviously oppologetic once he was actually awake, I wouldn't call the cops if he hit me. I would report it as a work injury and get a occ health ticket going. Don't want to quote all the different people but some things from this thread. In general, bedside nursing sucks. It's a customer service job but all of your customers don't want to be there, are sick or hurting, or have a family member that are. The hours are long, the admistration rarely cares about anything except numbers whether it's $ numbers, patient satisfaction numbers, or some random "indicator" number that their boss yelled at them about. Money was great during covid, especially as a travel nurse. Travel money has decreased to the point its not worth it unless your lieing to the IRS about having two places of living. There are good parts. Knowing you made a difference in someone's life, the adrenaline rushes, etc. But honestly if I didn't get a super cush job working ICU at the veterans hospital with a pension I probably would have left after travel nursing was done.

The enemy is within the system. Patient care comes second after profit. You think hospitals are bad, you should investigate what happens in Seniors' Homes.

Fortunately, at our place they have Lean Sigma Six efficiency experts with wisdom from Toyota and Motorola to help them get it right - because what isn't the same about running a hospital vs a production facility.
