Exposure to workplace violence (WPV) is common in health care, and little is known about nurse practitioner (NP) students’ experiences during their graduate nursing clinical education. In this podcast, Drs. Kristin Gigli and John Gonzalez describe the findings from their study on WPV experienced by NP students. A total of 334 NPs responded. More than a quarter (27%) of these students experienced WPV during their graduate program: preceptors were the most reported perpetrators (44%). In this podcast, the authors describe relevant federal policies and share strategies that schools of nursing can use to reduce student exposure to WPV.
