i worked for kidney disease program under nurses, sharon copplier was the director of nursing and sarap hayes was nuese coordinator, i went in to 04:30 am and around 10:30 am a p atient aproached me yelling fooor me to come outside so she can fight me and the begining to say she was going to kill me. i was a disturbed by her behavior because i had not worked with this patient for a while.

the nuse that was in my unit name tersa went to the door way to find out what was going on. and another grabbed her to escort her sown the hall. at 12am webt on break came back to unit was approached be team mate wo in formed me that patient had returned to the unit, when i was entering the unit i was approach nurse coordinator sarap hayes, to follow her to office she wanted the patient and i to sit down and discuss the , at the time i express to her i was upset and angry this was not the time. then she said if i had not went it was insabornation, and i could be terminated.

i went as we go to her through the window the patiebt was sitting sarap hayes chair and to social workers were standing behind the the chair was in the door way.. sarap slid pass the patient , i never made it into the office. i stood in the door way and listen to this patient call me q thing but the child of god threatening me, and before i new it she reached into her pocket, and hit close range in my face with hand full of pennies, a tech came in abd grabbed her while sarap hayes signal for to call security by this time the policw was called, and they tried to arrest me. if it wasn't for one nurse i would have been put behind bars, police realized that after speaking to police and letting them no i was on the clock and that she ahd came back.
