nurses are calling for immediate action after two serious assaults at Coquitlam's Forensic Psychiatric Hospital in just over a week. Nurses' Union, the most recent attack happened on Monday, when a nurse was assaulted by a patient in the hospital's maximum security unit. 'Not something that we believe is helpful'But that isn't going to happen, according to Connie Coniglio, chief operati​ng officer for PHSA's Complex Mental Health and Substance Use Services. She said that while she's very concerned about the two assaults, having security officers on the units could actually make patients more anxious and likely to become aggressive. She said she shared the concerns of the union and wants to hear from nurses who feel unsafe to work on possible solutions.
