There has been yet another attack on nurses.

The Nation understands three nurses were cut with varying degrees of severity by a female patient at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) last night.

The QEH says a statement will be issued and The Nation reached out to the Barbados Nurses Association.

Last month, a nurse was attacked at a bus stop after completing her shift at the St Philip District Hospital. In a statement at that time, the Nurses Association warned that “security breaches have become a recurring threat at multiple facilities” and called for action on issues confronting the profession.
