"I had a similar situation happen two months ago, except a stranger followed one of my nurses from the parking garage. He had a knife and threatened to stab her if she didn't go with him. She threw her purse at him and ran away, but was unsure if he followed her to work. I immediately called security and asked for a lockdown of the facility until we could determine if he followed her. I then contacted the police, who responded in minutes. Security cameras caught the man returning to the parking garage and getting away after my nurse threw her purse at him. Security unlocked the doors, and work returned to normal. I asked my nurse if she wanted to take the day off or talk with a counsellor, but she said she would rather work and take her mind off what happened."
