Nurses Against Violence Unite was created to bring awareness, educate, to empower each other while eliminating violence in healthcare, in an effort to build a stronger workforce. Common mistakes to avoid for administration is to listen, act, and allow employees to take pride and ownership in their positions with giving back nursing autonomy and facilitate growth. Incivility, lack of crucial mental health/addiction education, poor coping mechanisms, patient on nurse/healthcare worker violence is only the beginning of the issues that we are now facing. Frontline Healthcare workers and 1st Responders are facing epidemic levels of burnout, PTSD, compounded with #COVIDTrauma, and resorting to suicide from deep bouts of depression. We at Nurses Against Violence Unite, Inc. are committed to bringing together healthcare communities in solidarity to help give support, heal, and change the face of healthcare, as this is not only about the illness or symptoms you see but the ones you may not.
