Listen to our Nurse Talk Special Feature Mini Podcasts on our website or during the Thom Hartmann Program. 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.
