On the show this week is RN Jane Sandoval. Jane worked closely with a team of dedicated nurses from National Nurses United, California Nurses Association and law makers to pass legislation that makes it mandatory for healthcare facility employers to subscribe to Workplace Violence Prevention measures. Nurses are hoping this will become a model for the nation. And, we visit with California State Director of Compassion and Choices, Matt Whitaker. Compassion and Choices, is the organization leading the state and national campaigns to pass End of Life Option Legislation.

This week RN Jane Sandoval joins us to talk about the new California Workplace Violence Prevention Measures. Workplace violence is a serious and growing issue affecting nurses and other healthcare workers and their patients. The California Nurses Association/National Nurses United fought for Senate Bill 1299, which requires California healthcare employers to ensure a safe environment for patients and nurses by preventing workplace violence before it happens. Cal/OSHA developed a standard that is the model for the nation.

This week on Nurse Talk Radio we had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Rana Awdish about her book In Shock: How Nearly Dying Made Me a Better Intensive Care Doctor. In Shock, is Dr. Awdish's searing account of her extraordinary journey from doctor to patient, during which she sees for the first time the dysfunction of her profession’s disconnection from patients and the flaws in her own past practice as a doctor. Shatteringly personal yet wholly universal, it is both a brave roadmap for anyone navigating illness and a call to arms for doctors to see each patient not as a diagnosis but as a human being.
