- Some patients can be difficult, rude, or even flat out dangerous As a new nurse, how do you deal with these difficult patients?
In this video, I'll share some of my experiences of dealing with difficult or combative patients as a new nurse, and I'll tell you some things you always want to do in those types of situations.
And of course, you'll always want to know your facility's protocols for dealing with such situations, and have security's number close by, especially when a patient becomes aggressive.

Thank you and May God bless you 🙏
When you deal with such patients, you have to have a lot of patience! You are so great, nurse Sarah. Lots of love!
Patients do so much better when they are updated. Even if no answers yet, acknowledge them.
Wow, i got goosebumps. This is so true. It only takes one person to make a difference sometimes
I recently passed Nclex ,your content was like a gift for me ,thank you so much for all your hard work to give us enough content ❤️❤️
Sarah, this is a video that is very real and most relevant to nursing. I like your explanation of a fresh perspective after getting a warning from the hand-off. Why would you trust someone else's interpretation. Use your own judgement and critical thinking skills. Last week I listened to one night nurse complain to me at hand-off that "we are not waiters you know." Ah, yes we are. The patient cannot move and get their ass out of bed to get themselves a cup of ice or water! Many of my most so-called difficult patients, or "staff-seeking" patients are simply patients who feel their needs are not being met, and usually that is often the case. Communication is vital! Unfortunately, many nurses are too busy to simply be present, project caring, and just listen to the needs of the patients. Sadly, none of this is actually taught in nursing school or in clinicals. Above all, don't take it personally if your patient is trying to tell you their needs and they are loud or angry, etc. They are sick and deserve our respect, attention, patience, and care. Nurses who take the time to listen and make sure needs are being met are the ones that get recognized and have the best survey reports. They also tend to be great nurses. Awesome video.
I was just praising God that that patient turned around and ran out of the room and didn’t run toward you. You could’ve been physically hurt, assaulted. I live in New York City it’s crazy up here. There’s a lot of mental health issues in New York right now. God bless your good work.
Thank you for sharing your experiences😊 -1st year Nursing student here
same ✋
Patient: "I want to leave"
Me: "So this is called an AMA paper, just sign right here"
:D
Yeah but… that person is somebody’s love one that you want to help them. Sometimes they don’t know what they’re doing and their spiraling.. it’s more gratifying to help.💕
Absolutely, in some circumstances. But I try to understand why first. And, often, it's because they're fed up being told nothing and feel ignored so just want to leave. It is so often from a place of feeling unsafe and uncared for.
If they're just being vile and aggressive then sure, I won't try to stop a self-discharge.
I think a lot of medical professionals detach from the human interaction aspect to shield themselves emotionally and mentally especially when very busy, and this is bad from the patient perspective of course. Communication is so important.
I remember my first duty as a student and I was assign in ward full of ONG patient to take their vs every 2 hrs and I had this patient that didn't trust me because she knew I am student, so she start saying that my VS are inaccurate.
Each year I've seen you do these videos and wished that it was my turn to graduate. Well this year it finally is! Thank you so much Nurse Sarah for all your help in nursing school. I will definitely be utilizing your videos in my Nclex studies as well!
The fluorescent & LED lights, wifi & cell phones, beeping noises drive me insane & make me sick in medical facilities. I am EMF hypersensitive and have autism yet medical facilities do not recognize the American Disabilities Act concerning these two diagnoses. There needs to be a way where medical facilities to stop discriminating.
Thanks so much for the experience shared.
Thank you!!!! You made this question seem a lot less difficult for me to answer. I was actually doing what you were saying, but yet couldn't explain it until I watched this video. I feel a lot more confident about this question and am ready to answer this question if it gets thrown at me during todays interview.
The T-rex foot steps was so funny! I love hearing your experiences
Wow this was a nice story😊 I learnt alot from it as a nursing student.
Thank you so much Sarah ❤
Thank you for sharing 😊🙏🙏
Sounds exactly like me when I was in the hospital for a few weeks following my right hemicolectomy procedure back in October of last year. Sure the surgery itself went well but I developed an abdominal abscess that landed me in the CICU for close to a month and within weeks I was furious to get out of there.
By the time I was finally discharged the nursing staff was more than happy to see me go that's for sure.
Thank you for this perspective
Many of us don’t have the luxury of security. When someone bigger than you runs, just get out of the way! It’s not worth a possible injury to the nurse!
Glad I’m done with nursing is all I can say!
I envy you
Can you do more of these storytimes? I really enjoyed this! Very encouraging and informative to me as a student nurse! ❤
Gold standard health care right here
It is really unfair to patients to tell the next nurse that the patient is difficult. I can see that in this case that the patient was going to be a problem no matter what, but if a patient just had a bad period, or had a bad interaction with a particular care giver then they don't have the opportunity to start fresh with someone new.
Head to toe assessment, that I refused, are nothing more than Simon says , sit down, stand up, roll over, just like a dog, it’s humiliation I will not stand for, I told the nurse do not touch me for that I was labeled difficult(stay out of hospitals)
Hi
thanks alot for everything ❤
Good job, Sara!
Thank you for the great information. Keep up with the good work
I would love suggestions for dealing with this from the perspective of a patient that has been labeled difficult. I ask questions, especially when it contradicts my understanding. I want to learn and understand. I'm not trying to question their training, experience or education. I'm not trying to question them as an individual. I'm trying to learn and understand.
Great ma'am your teaching skills very good i watched every video and I'm take a lot of benefits thank you ma'am
I would be this patient if I didn't know what was going on and no one would answer my questions or take time to ease my anxiety around having no control over what was happening to my body.
In many cases, why do hospital staff just leave the patient leave, they obviously want out, yes, I know there are many different scenarios, I am one of those difficult patients when I last was in the hospital they were glad to see me go and I laughed all the way out the door as I was singing let my people go…

Patients need to do better they are awful 😢😢😢😢
❤❤❤❤
This is supposed to be standard of care for everyone . The patient of spouse should be told what is going on at all times. I am also a firm believer in gender based care. Men get male nurses and doctors while females get female doctors and nurses. That will make things less difficult for everyone. Before anyone can say that is sexist segregating staff because of patient preferences. As much as it sucks to say the hospital is a service, nothing more. People pay for that service. Many people have religious and modesty issues that can make someone a terrible patient. For example a man that has a religious obligation not to be seen naked around a woman he is not married to or a man that was abused by a female doctor growing up now do you see why they may be combative. This is the same for women. However, their wishes are met while men usually are not. Even mentally ill patients will not be upset without a reason. Even severely mentally ill people can be talked to and reasoned with.
I always worry if these crazy pts will ever come back to the hospital to harm you😂
It happens.
I'm not a nurse but I'm not tolerating rude people. Tf
