Why Hospital CEOs Need to Rethink Safety Now
When people think about security, they often imagine guards, weapons, or executive protection. But inside hospitals, the real threat is far more complex — workplace aggression and violence in the workplace directed at nurses, doctors, and healthcare staff who are simply trying to help people.
In this episode of Time to Head North, presented by The North Group, Vincent “Rocco” Vargas sits down with Nate “Circus” to break down the growing crisis of workplace aggression in healthcare and why nurse safety has become one of the most urgent challenges facing hospitals today. From behavioral health incidents and substance-related violence to domestic disputes and revenge-driven threats, hospitals are uniquely vulnerable environments where violence prevention must be proactive, not reactive.
Nate explains how unchecked workplace aggression leads to burnout, injuries, and fear among nurses and frontline staff, and why traditional security models often fail to prevent violence in the workplace. He outlines a layered, intelligence-led approach to violence prevention that protects nurse safety while preserving a welcoming hospital culture for patients and families.
You’ll hear how better training, early threat detection, and coordinated response plans can drastically reduce incidents of workplace aggression. Nate also shares a real-world case study where early intervention and intelligence work helped prevent a potentially catastrophic act of violence — underscoring why hospitals must treat violence prevention and nurse safety as core operational priorities.
If you work in healthcare leadership, nursing, hospital operations, or employee safety — or if you want to understand how hospitals can reduce violence in the workplace — this conversation offers real insight into what actually works.
