According to a 2019 ANA Survey, one in four nurses reported being physically assaulted while on shift. Workplace violence is underreported, so these statistics are likely much higher. With the recent events in Pennsylvania and Florida, it is important for nurses and other healthcare workers (HCWs) to know their rights and resources to support a safe work environment:
We have the right to a safe workplace, and we must work together to change unsafe systems and hold perpetrators accountable for their actions.
