In a USA Today  this week, ��������CEO Robyn Begley, DNP, RN, stressed the need for federal legislation to protect nurses and other health care workers from workplace violence. “While we may never reduce violence in our hospitals to zero – because we are there to serve in the most challenging settings and circumstances – we can insist on zero tolerance for abusive behavior,” wrote Begley, who is also chief nursing officer and senior vice president of workforce for �������� (AHA). “People who dedicate themselves to saving lives deserve a safe environment, free of violence and intimidation.” The AHA has  the Department of Justice to support legislation giving health care workers legal protections against assault and intimidation.
