EP 91: The Alarming Rise of Recent Violence in Healthcare Part 2

Part 2 *All incident details discussed are alleged, for informational purposes only, and may include information that is general in nature and unsubstantiated.   In part two of the conversation, Nurse Jessica Sites, Nurse Erica and Matthew, @themassholemcguido, continue the discussion about the alarming rise in workplace violence within the healthcare sector. They introduce the Red and Black Ribbon Campaign aimed at raising awareness and advocating for safe working conditions. The conversation highlights the ongoing crisis in healthcare, the challenges nurses face, and the need for collective action to address these issues. The speakers also discuss the pervasive culture of fear and cowardice among nurses, the indoctrination present in nursing schools, and the potential for a national walkout to demand better working conditions. The conversation also addresses the generational shift in attitudes among nurses, particularly with the emergence of Gen Z nurses who are less willing to accept the status quo. The speakers highlight the need for accountability and legislation to protect healthcare workers, and the importance of mobilizing nurses to advocate for change. They emphasize the urgency of implementing security measures like metal detectors, which should be standard in hospitals. The episode wraps up with a call to action for nurses to mobilize towards change.
