I personally have seen number 3 done MANY MANY times. Not 1 or 2 though.

I enjoy protecting the nurses from the patients. They are very grateful and it takes more than just muscle to be effective. Not all the patients are nasty, but the ones that are, they need to be watched like a hawk. We get anything from depressed people to people convicted of murdering family members. I've also protected patients from other patients as well.

First I wanna say I'm not the original thread starter. Although I do work in a mental hospital as security.

I do love my job though, yes.

I am attacked violently every couple weeks. Almost every shift I have at least some type of physical threat that needs to be de-escalated.

Yes and no. If you weren't considered a threat to yourself or anyone else, most likely yes. A lot depends on the opinion of the doctor. One doc might say yes, one may say no.
