Preventing violence in an academic setting: one school of nursing's approach.
Workplace violence occurs in many different contexts, including academic settings. However, the types of violence that make headlines are less common than the everyday behaviors that, left unchecked, may lead to extreme situations. This article describes how a school of nursing developed a program of workplace violence prevention, intervention, and response. Descriptions of the program, definitions, and workplace violence resources are included.
