Nurses Association Calls For Law To Crack Down On Violence Against RNs - New York State Nurses Association
In the last seven years, Mercy Jaiswal has been
physically assaulted three times.
She was beaten with pots filled with hot coffee. She was kicked so
powerfully that her leg was covered with a massive bruise that would linger
for months. Most recently, she was thrown "like a rag doll," sustaining a
fractured arm that required surgery and six months of recovery time.
Mercy Jaiswal is a registered nurse. All of her injuries occurred
when she was at work in a Long Island healthcare facility, delivering
professional nursing care to the patients that she "loves so dearly."
To help deter these shocking attacks, the Nurses Association is
promoting a bill (A6186/S3441) aimed at violence against nurses. The
proposed bill would make it a Class C felony to assault and cause physical
injury to a registered nurse or licensed practical nurse while on duty.
This provision already exists for assaults on police officers, peace
officers, firefighters, and emergency medical technicians. The bill was
passed by the State Senate on Wednesday, April 2; it now awaits a decision
by the Assembly.
Each year, 430,000 nurses become victims of violent crimes in their
workplaces, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. These numbers may
be low, as there is a severe underreporting of violence against nurses
because of the attitude that it is just 'part of the job.' Legislation can
change this dangerous misperception.
"Nurses need to know that violence against them will be fully
prosecuted," said Tina Gerardi, RN, chief executive officer for the Nurses
Association. "And their potential attackers need to know the same thing."
"Each year thousands of nurses are attacked in the workplace," said
Assemblyman David Koon (D-Perinton), sponsor of the bill. "Violence should
not be 'just part of the job' for nurses. It is important for the state to
establish that violent or abusive acts against nurses will have severe
consequences, as they do for attacks on police, firefighters, and emergency
service personnel."
Protecting nurses from attack will also positively impact patients
and the nursing shortage. "Violence against nurses affects patients and the
quality of patient care," said Senator Marty Golden (R-Brooklyn), who
sponsored the bill in the Senate. "At a time when there is a serious nurse
shortage in our state, violence removes nurses from the workforce and
discourages others from choosing nursing as a profession."
NYSNA's other legislative priorities this year include safe nurse
staffing ratios (A6119/S1551), prohibiting mandatory overtime
(A1898-B/S6342), and promoting advanced education for RNs (A2480/S294).
With more than 36,000 members, the New York State Nurses Association is the
state's largest professional association and union for Registered Nurses.
It fosters high standards of nursing education, research, and practice;
engages in legislative activity; and represents RNs for collective
bargaining. Its mission is to advance the profession of nursing and protect
the public's health.
