:) Hello

My name is Lib Moore and I am new to allnurses.com. I found this web site while researching a project for my BSN degree. I live in North Carolina and have been a nurse for 18 years. I am assistant unit manager of a 34 bed post-op unit. I am doing a power point presentation on violence against nurses. I know there is a lot of it out there. Does anyone know where there is a website where I might gather some statisticts. I will be looking foreward to talking with all of you.

Welcome! You can also try the OSHA website they have somethiing specific about violence in the workplace, including standards.

If you're interested in sharing, I'd love to see what you come up with.

Welcome! Wow Vicky and Pam! Awesome of you to share those websites.
