As nurses, you can  probably think of an incident in which a patient was inappropriate or aggressive, whether verbally or physically. If not, then you may have witnessed this happening to another nurse or heard a nurse talk about their experience.

Workplace violence in healthcare is very much an ongoing issue. We have seen this in recent months as we turned on the news, saw and heard the stories of healthcare who were assaulted for wearing scrubs in public, outside of their places of employment.

This week's episode covers why this happens, what workplace violence looks like and what we can do to help prevent workplace violence.
