Nurse News Analysis with Jodi O’Malley, MSN, RN
A postpartum nurse at Ohio State Wexner was allegedly strangled and dragged down a hallway while trying to protect a newborn in the middle of a domestic dispute. Despite the violence — and an active protection order against the attacker — leadership allegedly never checked on the nurse that night. Jodi breaks down what happened, why this is a system problem, how workplace violence is being normalized, and what nurses should demand from hospitals when safety is violated.
