Patricia B. ""Nikki"" Allen, MBA, BS, RN, has spent her entire career in diverse areas of health care management. She has created a violence prevention plan including violence prevention tools to help the multiple Emergency Departments (EDs) with which she has been involved. Since then, Ms. Allen has become increasingly interested in addressing the explosive but underreported incidence of violence occurring in Emergency Departments across the United States. She has been a regular invited speaker about violence in the Emergency Department at the Leadership Conference of the Emergency Nurses' Association (ENA). She is passionate about continuing her work in developing strategies to deal with violent individuals, to help protect ED patients, and to help physicians, nurses, and ED staff protect themselves from harm. Ms. Allen's other passions are her three grown children, her daughter-in-law, and her friends. One of her children is a health care professional in an environment that is high-risk for violence.
