Nursing Community Coalition Urges Senate to Pass Workplace Violence Prevention Legislation
The Nursing Community Coalition urged the Senate to pass the Workplace Violence Prevention for Health Care and Social Service Workers Act (S. 4182). With recent events in Dallas, TX, where two healthcare workers, including a nurse, were fatally shot, and in Durham, NC, where a nurse practitioner was stabbed to death, the Coalition emphasized the need to address workplace violence at the federal level now.
