Does that hospital have a psych floor or is she an ER nurse?

I believe they have a Behavioral Health Unit

No more ER at that location, so shouldn’t have been an ER nurse.

My wife worked in that unit for a long time. She had some strange and disturbing stories. Also was common for security to be called in to restrain patients.

To work with the public at large in this city would be rough

Wow. Exactly how my mother passed this past Christmas Day. Terrible way to die. :(

She was a really sweet and funny lady. Such an awful situation.

They have 2 behavioral health units. One on 4th floor & one on 5th floor. She was a psych nurse, working on the 5th floor that day.

Horrible

Anyone who has been to the Our Lady of the Lake ER lately knows that place is crazy. There were people fighting in the parking lot and just general trashiness all over last time I went.

True about OLOL but this happened at BR General Midcity.

Yeah well there's an enormous group of people that want to give those individuals free healthcare all the way.

Wow.
That’s a big place then for psych. Sad that this happened there. Would seem they’d be a safer place to deal with volatile patients like that.

OLOL got all of the Earl K Long patients

I work at a behavioral hospital. A few days ago a nurse on my unit was assaulted resulting in injuries. We have no security. We are the security.

Psychiatric Asylums need to be brought back. Phasing them out was a textbook case of sweeping a problem under the rug so politicians won't have to talk about tough issues. The patients that would be admitted in those places are now on the street, likely abusing drugs and not receiving anything close to consistent and effective treatment. The healthcare costs of such places are currently being paid through ER misuse, court costs and eventual incarceration, and government programs which do nothing to address the cause
