'The reality is if you ask emergency nurses, they will tell you every single shift they work there is some case of workplace violence.'
It's worth noting that most nurses say they are satisfied with health care as a career, according to a recent survey staffing company AMN Healthcare. But far fewer are happy with the quality of the job itself.
Emergency room nurse Randee Litten said she was recently punched in the face by a patient as she attempted to draw their blood at St. Joseph Hospital in Eureka, California. And these figures are conservative, because many in the profession have become inured to verbal and physical harassment, experts say.
Anna Dermenchyan, a veteran nurse who sits on the board of the American Association of Critical Care Nurses, described nursing as a"dangerous" profession. "They don't teach it in nursing school or medical school. A lot of time is spent on clinical content, but when you get out there in the workplace, this is one of the dangers, and it sometimes takes until someone experiences something to learn how to deal with," she said.None of the health care professionals to whom CBS MoneyWatch spoke were surprised by the high percentage of nurses who said they'd either experienced or witnessed workplace violence.
As for why they stay, many nurses are deeply committed to the profession, despite negative experiences on the job, according to Dr. Cole Edmonson. But burnout is real — and deleterious to the profession.
