Severity of violent hospital incidents on the rise: unions

“These are not isolated incidents. We see a growing number of reported acts of aggression, violence often related to emergency rooms,” Sorensen said. “And that, unfortunately, is people who are seeking help, right? They’re coming into emergency, often seeking medical care, or families have brought them.” The union has been running a campaign for more than 20 years to bring attention to violence against nurses and other health care workers. During the past year, reports from members indicate an increased severity in the type of violence, Sorensen said. In late January, a Nanaimo nurse was beaten in the staff parking lot of Nanaimo Regional General Hospital by a young woman who fled the hospital after being taken for a psychiatric evaluation by family.

Nanaimo health-care workers use Pacific Ocean to wash away pandemic stress

  VICTORIA A nurse and respiratory therapist at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital (NRGH) have turned to the Pacific Ocean to wash away the stress of their jobs during this pandemic. Since September, Lizzy Hannah and Gina Villares-Talbot have been soaking themselves in the chilly waters of Departure Bay in Nanaimo, and they say it has done wonders for their mental health. “Being in the cold water, you are so present. All you can think about is the cold, your body and thoughts are quiet,” said Hannah, an ICU nurse at NRGH. “You can t think of the stress that’s coming tomorrow. You have to focus on the now,” added Villares-Talbot, a respiratory therapist at NRGH.
