Emergency nurses report high instances of workplace violence

Healthcare Security Weekly, October 23, 2006

Eighty-six percent of emergency nurses who responded to a recent survey said they have been the victims of workplace violence in the past three years.
According to a survey of 1,000 members of the Emergency Nurses Association, almost 20% of respondents said they experience workplace violence frequently and more than 40% said their workplace is somewhat safe or not safe at all.
Despite the concern over workplace violence, 64% of the nurses said they are very satisfied or extremely satisfied with their job, according to the association, which released survey results as part of Emergency Nurses Week, which ended October 14.
