Violence against nurses

It seems like we get a search request on this topic every couple of years or so and yesterday's New York Times has a great piece by David Tuller summarizing recent stats about violence against nurses and workplace prevention strategies -- "Nurses Step Up Efforts to Protect Against Attacks" (via The Pump Handle)

For more info, a quick PubMed search - nurse-patient relations[majr] AND violence[majr] (does include some false drops about screening for abuse, domestic violence, elder abuse, etc.)
