Listen to the Show Dan’s on vacation so after a series of her own “medication errors,” Pattie steps in and oh…it’s a bad hair day! It just makes us realize how much we miss Elvis!

BUT help is on the way when Casey talks to RNs Karen Coughlin and Linda Condon about the epidemic of workplace violence against nurses and other health care workers. This is something you don’t hear about and the conversation will shock you. 

Linda Condon, RN  	Linda Condon, a nurse at Morton Hospital, speaks about her experiences with violence in the workplace.

Did you know that nurses are on par with prison guards and police officers for the highest rate of workplace violence? For many years it has been looked at as just “part of the job.” Help is on the way and the nurses are on the front lines to change legislation to protect against this abuse.

And of course we always want to give a big thank you to our great presenting sponsors the California Nurses Association and National Nurses United.  AND a warm welcome to our newest sponsors the Massachusetts Nurses Association. We couldn’t do this without you!
