 Employee with Mental Health Issues

T.C. is also a member of the local Nurses Association. T.C. has had several outbursts on the Telemetry unit; a unit that she has worked since graduation. She attributes these outbursts to anxiety and job related stress. She has been reprimanded by the nurse manager on numerous occasions. Additionally, she has had verbal altercations with various physicians as well; all of which she justifies as legitimate. She is a caring and competent nurse. https://youtu.be/t8hl8rkCk6E

 Employee with Mental Health Issues

You received a call from F.J., the nurse manager of the Telemetry unit with a brief scenario of the incident, which he then followed up with the email below: I spoke to T.C., privately in my office this morning and informed her of my assessment that she was not prepared to function on the unit today. She began to cry and would not stop. I was afraid to leave her in the office alone for a minute, in fear that she would do something to herself or me.

I excused her for today, but she continued to cry uncontrollably when I attempted to speak with her. She was unable to listen and she would not leave the unit. I was tempted to call security but I did not want to create a scene.
