“Sometimes you have to be the nurse, you have to be the security guard and you have to be the one that is controlling the situation”

Nurses rally in Hollywood for hospital security bill Nurses rallied outside Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center on Friday to support a state bill designed to make hospitals safer. Assembly Bill 2975 would require hospitals to “adopt a workplace violence prevention plan.”

On we stand with our members, patients, neighbors and friends who are part of the .

We must never forget the cruelty endured by the Armenian people 109 years ago, and we must never let those who wish to have their history erased prevail.

AB 2975 by passed the Assembly Labor Committee today. Jesse Deol, RN, from Encino Hospital Medical Center testified in support about the high stakes:

“Unfortunately one of my colleagues was stabbed. I didn’t know at the time. I heard a loud noise in the room. I went in to help, and I was stabbed as well...An ER doctor i worked with for 20 years is no longer able to work because of this incident...This needs to get passed...We should be able to do our job safely.”

AB 2975 will address hospital violence by:
🔵Requiring metal detectors at key entrances
🔵Requiring that metal detectors be staffed by trained security guards
🔵Requiring trained personnel - NOT nurses or other healthcare workers - to search personal belongings for weapons
