ENCORE:
My final 2 cent (originally mispelled as "sent" which makes me feel like an idiot then I lol'd) on the topic. All nurses should learn MA. It is a must! because nurses do get hurt, get attacked, and like this situation get killed by a patient via strangled to death.
How much do you actually know about this? Maybe said nurse had no time to react? If you provide information that she had time and she could have made a make shift weapon in time or that she could have had time to defend herself against an attack. It's just as important to have a swift reaction as it is to have good combat skills.
All nurses should learn MA -.-? That is a poor statement even in itself. You learn MA so you think they should, well a gun enthusiast would say "They should carry a gun" a classic day samurai should say "be armed with a blade", a police officer may say "carry pepper spray", I say "Wrap them up tight so they can't do anything then chain them to the wall". Why do we all say this, because it's our opinion in perspective to how we would handle the situation.
They should have protection, period. Rather its their own fists, a weapon, or a guy with a big hammer, is their own choice.

@starcraft
you could be the best trained fighter in the world and if a patient hits you when your guard is drop you could just be another victim.
the guy could hit you in the throat while your tryin to talk to him or hand them meds.
now your choking/gasping for air or have a crushed larynx 😮💨
Pfff...
all that muscle for nuthin
I was passing medication worked NOC shift and the patient's TV was on news. Then I heard the news caster saying "A nurse was killed at napa by a mentally ill patient..." I stopped and watched the news with a non combative patient next to me.
The news made me feel enraged because a fellow nurse whose sole purpose is to help people was killed by her own patient.
i/m not a big fan of mental wards although i do respect people who become nurses..
it kinda a 50/50 thing for me whether i care or not, if anything it should be expected to an extend especially working in certain clinics and pysch wards.
you dont become a fireman and expect not to be burn, things happen.
I can't wait till Kaibs gets back on to criticize my own post :3 it typically happens. Anyways we got our points across. It is upsetting for the nurse and those who work in the same field. A sad day for many people. She should have had some form of protection to fend them off. StarCraft killed the nurse. A high kick to the back of the skull would fly far.
my mom was a nurse when she was 18 to 20 back in the day. she hated it having to help clean patients, one of her stories was about having to clean an eye socket 😘
my mom's friend was a live in nurse/night nurse she would talk about taking care of old ppl and some times she be so tired taking care of them that when they passed away at night she just push them over and take a nap for while b4 callin for an ambulance for a body pick up. 😐
