We aren’t just one unit it’s thewhole hospital,” Holland said of how her studiesand her job intertwine. “Every unit contributes tothe whole hospital, the entire census and all thedata.”“I want to make a difference in healthcare.One person can make a difference but it’s betterwith a team.”That word “team” gets referenced a lot whenyou you visit Jim Thorpe. It’s one of the reasonsHolland loves her job so much.Her former role was in pediatric home health.3EE (/,,!. 0AGE Lt. Dee Dee Carter (left), Integris Public SafetySpecialist, and Cleveland County Sheriff’s OfficeCaptain Ronnie Johnson helped the ONA shine alight on violence directed at nurses.BY "OBBY !NDERSON 2. 3TAFF 7RITERWith 18 years in law enforcement, ClevelandCounty Sheriff’s Office Captain Ronnie Johnson hasseen his fair share of domestic abuse cases.As the Public Safety Specialist for IntegrisHealth, Lt. Dee Dee Carter sees violence spill overinto the hospital on a daily basis.Each law enforcement officer says all too oftennurses are caught in the middle of both situations.“I’ve seen it my entire career,” Johnson said ofabuse. “My first arrest in law enforcement was a3EE 6)/,%.#% 0AGE

I didn’t recognize at thetime that was going to be my niche,what drove me and what I reallywanted to push for and push out ofthe community.”“The way society is it’s goingto take an entire community to saythat’s not acceptable.”Law enforcements, administratorsand fellow nurses discussed thetopic at the recent Oklahoma NursesAssociation Annual Convention titledEmpoweringNurses:Inspire.Innovate. Influence.Nationally, 1 in 4 nurses haveexperienced some kind of workplaceviolence. The convention helpedhighlight the American NursesAssociation’s initiative of endingviolence against nurses in theworkplace.Johnson and Carter hit on bothends of the spectrum where nursesmay experience abuse: at home andat work.Speaking to an audience oflargely women, Johnson shared wayspeople can find themselves trappedin domestic situations.He highlighted a case where anabuser sent his partner to the storewith a check to pay for goods orservices knowing the check wouldbounce.Oncethecheckbouncesmerchants typically turn that personinto the attorney general’s office forcollection proceedings.This generates a warrant for thecheck writer’s arrest until paid.If the person experiencing abusegets to the point where they threatento call law enforcement then thesituation is used against them withthe threat of possibly losing theirchildren.“Would you second guess callingthem if you knew your kids weregoing to be taken away?” Johnsonsaid. “True or not but just the threatof that possibility (is enough).”Abuse is often about control andmay not manifest outwardly untillater.Whenever controlling tactics startnot to work is when you see thephysical and sexual violence andthe battering stage, Johnson said.“This could be a patient, afamily member or coworker - talkto them,” Johnson said. “You needto say these things sincerely.”Johnson recommends ways toapproach including: ECEMBER * I am afraid for your safety* I am afraid for the safety ofyour children* It will only get worse* I am here for you when youare ready to leave* You do not deserve to beabused.* It’s not your fault.At work, Carter says violencetowards nurses is a constantconcern.“Self awareness is the biggestone and observing the environmentbefore you go in and initiate care,”Carter said of ways nurses can beon guard. “(Nurses) are overworkedso they are hasty to go into aroom whether it’s altered mentalstatus or a brain bleed or just aleg wound. They’ll go in and starttheir initial assessment without evenseeing what (the patient’s) affect is.”The idea that some violence is justpart of the job and nurses shouldbe OK with that irks Carter, whosewife is a mental health nurse.“I don’t care if its alteredmental status, dementia or anythinglike that if you’re assaulted that’sassault,” Carter said. “Regardless, I’lllet the police make that decisionor let a judge make that decision.We encourage our people ‘hey, youpress charges, you got assaulted.’You don’t have to be subjected tounruliness.”“Once they’re medically cleared,that’s a felony charge and they cango to jail.”Carter estimates that safetyofficers are not called soon enoughin up to one-third of all calls. Andsome of that comes down to nursesbelieving they can or should dealwith the situation.“I have a gun and taser on myhip but if I’m going to go deal withthat patient I’m going to call forbackup so why would you go inand deal with that patient alone?”Carter said. “With my wife being anurse that infuriates me.”Johnson also advises nurses tonever be in a room alone whendealing with patients withdrawing.“They’re addicts for a reason,”Johnson said. “We have drugs andsyringes. You have an alcohol patientthat’s having the same withdrawalsymptoms as someone on meth.”“These people don’t want Norco,they want Jim Beam and vodka andyou’re keeping them from gettingtheir drug of choice and that putsyou in a hostile situation.”/KLAHOMA S .URSING 4IMESDHS and Liberty of Oklahomaannounce re-opening of LauraDester Children’s CenterCutting the ribbon for the first cottage to open at the Laura DesterChildren’s Center residential treatment program are (L-R) Millie Carpenter,interim Child Welfare Services Director; Beth Scrutchins, DevelopmentalDisabilities Services Director; Cody Inman, Special Assistant to DHSDirector; DHS Director Ed Lake; Sarah Stitt, First Lady-elect; Dr. HughSage, Director of Liberty of Oklahoma; Sue Nayda, Liberty HealthcareCorporation; Tom Bates, interim Commissioner of Health; Nellie Kelly,Executive Director Tulsa Protection Coalition.The Oklahoma Department ofHuman Services (DHS) and Liberty ofOklahoma announced the re-openingof the Laura Dester Children’s Centeras a short-term residential treatmentprogram for children and youth withintellectual disabilities and severeemotional disturbances in the custodyof the DHS. Speakers at the pressconference included First Lady-electSarah Stitt, DHS Director Ed Lake,and Hugh Sage, Director of Libertyof Oklahoma.Since the closure of the stateoperated emergency children’s shelters,including the Laura Dester Children’sCenter, DHS encountered a lackof appropriate treatment servicesin Oklahoma for children withintellectualdisabilitiesandco-occurring mental health disordersand behavioral challenges. Half ofthe children who ended up at LauraDester were children with thosediagnoses and challenges, and severalyoung people had to be sent out ofstate for a level of treatment thatsimply did not exist in Oklahoma.“I am excited that our communityhas decided to fill the gaps that existin our current mental health system,”said First Lady-elect Sarah Stitt. “Iam also excited to see how we willchange the lives of these children.”This treatment program will serveup to 24 children and youth inthree cottages, the first of which isexpected to open shortly after thefirst of 2019, and the other twocottages by mid-March. The programwill serve young people from acrossthe state who have co-occurringdiagnosis and are in the custodyof DHS due to abuse or neglect.This will not be a home forchildren, but will provide short-termtreatment, stabilization, and followalong services, with an averageexpected length of stay of about sixmonths.“Our goal for the children whowill receive treatment here is tohelp them get back home with theirparents or in another family setting#ONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

We arealso excited about the opportunity torepurpose this beautiful campus ina way that still meets its originalpurpose--to provide a safe havenfor our state’s the most vulnerablechildren.”About 30-50 percent of childrenand youth with intellectual disabilitiesalso have co-occurring mental healthdisorders and challenging behaviors,and, for children in state custody,there is a significant need to stabilizetheir mental health and intervene asquickly as possible.“We have the opportunity toserve children here and interveneearlier,” said Dr. Hugh Sage, Directorof Liberty of Oklahoma. “We hope toimprove the quality of lives for thesekids.” ECEMBER (/,,!. #ONTINUED FROM 0AGE The move to rehab revitalized her.“I love kids but I have kids ofmy own and I couldn’t do it anymorebecause it was so sad,” Holland said.“I did not want to be sad coming towork every day.”“I enjoy rehab because you’reteaching people.”The next fives years will likelyyield a larger leadership role.“I’ve seen other hospitals andthat’s why I chose to work atIntegris,” she said. “I like workingrehab because we don’t have a lot ofcodes on this floor - I’m not saying itnever happens - but you can actuallysee all the hard work you put in andsee the miracles that do happen.”Before nursing, Holland served asa pre-k music teacher at St. John’sCatholic Church in Edmond.The move into healthcare wasspurred by a need to make adifference and help others.Since 1985, INTEGRIS Jim ThorpeRehabilitation Center in OklahomaCity has been one of America’slargest and most respected systemsfor both inpatient and outpatientrehabilitation needs. The team includesphysicians, nurses, psychologists,therapists, dietitians, social workers,and case managers.The hospital offers acute patientrehabilitation at convenient locationsin the Oklahoma City area, as wellas across the state.Jim Thorpe provides state of theart specialty programs for limb loss,brain injury, orthopedic injury, spinalcord injury, stroke and transplant/LVAD, and also serve patients witha variety of other illnesses andconditions including cardiac conditions,pulmonary disorders, Parkinson’sdisease, burns, neurological and has worked at bothJim Thorpe facilities in the metro.Working at Integris Southwest MedicalCenter’s Jim Thorpe, she learned a lotabout rehabilitation with spinal cordinjuries.Her Integris Baptist experiencehas opened up her eyes to cardiacrehab, LVAD, and transplant patients.She tears up when asked why shedoes what she does.No two days are alike.“You can never plan, ever,”Holland said. “If you plan it’s notgoing to work out how you planned0AGE so I’m just open to whatever happensand deal with it. If you’re a plannerand try to plan it’s not going to workout. You have to be flexible. Patientsafety and patient care is alwaysfirst.”“You’re always using the nursingprocess and seeing what’s mostimportant.”Holland has three daughters anda son who were there as she battledthrough nursing school.“I don’t know how I did itbut I did,” Holland laughed. “I wasstudying constantly and my husbandwas a huge help.”Earlier this year she was namedJim Thorpe’s Nurse of the Year for2018. That meant she was able todress up and attend a ceremony withher family. “I’m proud of my mommy,I think she deserves it because sheworks really hard and is a greatperson,” daughter Danielle said ofher mom’s award.“She works super hard and I’mproud of her and she helps a lot ofpeople,” daughter Bella echoed.And daughter Makayla summed itup quite nicely: “I think it’s awesomethat my mom is nurse of the yearand I’m very proud of her.”And that, too, brings tears toHolland’s eyes.
