WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ON TWITTER, FACEBOOK, AND OUR BLOG

"We have been silent for so long about the prevalence of health care workplace violence that most people don't realize how much it happens." "The culture on a nursing unit matters to patients. I once had a patient tell me she felt safe on our unit because she saw the camaraderie among our nurses and had seen us helping each other and laughing together." "Any technology that would prevent a child being shot should be welcomed by everyone." "Nurses must take a stand. Advocate and be more politically active."
