:) 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.

Hi Lib,
