In my opinion I think T should at the very least discuss why she is terminating so that you clearly understand why. Was it because of the fb incident and feeling like things weren't getting better. Was it because you said it was probably best to transfer to another T. Even if she doesn't want to talk face to face she could at least send you an email or call you on the phone.

That being said, since I work in a psych hospital I also understand T needing to be safe. We are also taught that we should be closest to the door and we keep all sharps off the unit to not only protect the patient but also the staff.

Last week on the unit we had a patient turn violent. He hurt staff then he proceeded to bang his head on the door of seclusion room door until he bleed and then proceeded to write all over the walls and doors with blood and tear apart the walls. Now if this would have been because of his illness it would have been one thing. However the reason he got so mad was because he entered the community room where a lot of patients were watching a movie. He changed the station and staff told him that people were watching the movie he could watch something after. He got angry so staff asked him to go to his room. Then he started punching and kicking everybody.
