    Mike Taylor is our DNS (Director of Nursing Services) at my work and he explained to me that “Under no circumstances will abuse be taken lightly. For every one person that comes to me there is about four that won’t to report suspicious allegations.

Mary was one of the patients on my team so I was getting to know her quite well during my first two weeks on the ward. I was working with another patient when I saw Mary twist on her ankle and try to steady herself on her stick. This had the effect of spinning her round and she fell to the floor onto her left hip. I ran to help, she was in a lot of pain and slight shock, I called down the ward for help several members of staff came to help saying "do this" and "do that" all at the same time, I was quite over whelmed. Mary was rolled back and forth onto a sling, hoisted up and placed on her bed, all the while I was looking after her head, I did not know what else to do so I talked to her to calm her down, which was difficult due to all the commotion. On initial examination the senior nurse on duty said it looked like she had broken her femur, which was later confirmed.

These homes were cited for nearly 9,000 abuse violations from January 1999 to January 2001” (McQueen, 2001). There have been some cases reported of punching, chocking,…
