I was shocked to read this news article here in Canada today where a judge awarded a Nurse Manager $1.3 Million in damages after she and another nurse was attacked back in 2019.

As pleased as I am about the ruling, the article indicates that the likely hood of the Nurse receiving that money is highly unlikely.  Having said that, there clearly needs to be more cases where legal action is taken against those who choose to assault Nurses.  Nurses are not slaves!  https://www.cafepress.com/fritsen/7146653
