Saint Xavier University School of Nursing and Health Sciences in conjunction with Sigma Theta Tau, Alpha Omicron Chapter and Alumni Relations proudly presents Scholarly Conversations: Violence in the Health Care Workplace.

According to The Joint Commission (2018), "Health care workers must be alert and ready to act when they encounter verbal or physical violence -- or the potential for violence -- from patients or visitors who may be under stress or who may be fragile, yet also volatile. Health care organizations are encouraged to address this growing problem by looking beyond solutions that only increase security."

As one of the largest sectors of the health care workforce, nurses are especially vulnerable to violence.

Admission is free and open to the public. Registration is preferred. Please RSVP by submitting your name and RN license to alumni@sxu.edu.
