The class would then talk over different ways to prevent such violent situations from occurring that would give a positive outcome for both the patient, their families and the most importantly the nurses. The class is a one-day mandatory class that all emergency department nurses are required to take in a three-month period. Other nurses are welcome to attend the class however the target audience is emergency department nurses as they are main ones that experience violence in the workplace. The goal of the class is to decrease violence in the workplace for nurses and their patients.
