Reply to comment by NJP220 in New Hampshire ordered to phase out practice of keeping psychiatric patients in emergency rooms by greenhousecrtv
Well said. I work in a Southern New Hampshire hospital. I work in surgical nurse role but to pick up extra hours I sign up for 1:1 with psych patients, also known as a “sitter”. No room at the inn is exactly the problem. People that don’t understand this problem don’t realize that this is the best available option. It’s very sad to see. Many off these patients are quite young. I’ve sat with a number of preteens. From my experiences probably 25% or more are minors.
