500k?! Wow 😮

😭

This is a global problem

I realize this is a basic question, but where is the best place to obtain copies of these bills, so that we can be fully read and up to date before day on the hill

Will this power point, or something similar be available to use as education in hospital? As many workplaces need re education on work place violence.

Well have to be careful with FAAN as it also represent Fellows in American Academy of Nurses and Neurology.

What have been the barriers to get this passed? VA system already has this in place

To read complete copies of the bills, please go to www.congress.gov and search for the bill numbers

found them! Thanks

Quite unusually we have sent email requests for a meeting (Offered call, online, or in person) to both our house reps (for both of us who are going) and senators, and have not heard back. In the past we have always heard back relatively quickly. Any idea if there are any reasons this may be?

Suicide screening was where was the barrier

Can we get copies of these slides

Why can't they talk to nurses who have been victim of violence in workplace

Will we be talking about the case in Tennessee case with the nurse that was charged for her med error that was cleared and then fired and license revoked

For scheduling, what is helping us this year is having the ENA member constituent reaching out to their legislator for meeting requests. And it seems to be working.

have we tried to partner with other organizations about the healthcare workplace violence issues? Are there organization even to partner with?

When I approached my senator in March they were hesitant for the FAAN due to the cost and he challenged that the hospitals need and private companies need to step up too to help solve some of the problems (R- IN)

thank you

But they haven't stepped up for 20 years. So, what do we do moving forward.

We would have to individually ask every hospital what there programs are, but a quick survey shows that they aren't doing enough to help bridge the growing gap. At least currently

The only way we support our local nursing schools is by providing clinical spots to nursing students. And in Oregon, nursing instructors are vastly underpaid and there's a problem with lateral violence with clinical faculty as well.

Does violence in healthcare bill address issues with actual prosecution of assault on health care workers? example, in MO many jurisdictions won't actually prosecute the perpetrators of violence. They say it is too hard, or not worth it. THoughts?

I need to re read the bill, sorry if that was an in depth question

Right. That makes sense

Gothca! That makes sense. and I will meet with my local government affairs committee and talk about MO specifically.

Good point Rob
