Biography
My name is Melissa Pennington and I hold a bachelor’s degree in nursing. I am board certified through the ANCC in medical surgical nursing, and certified though ONS to administer chemotherapy to cancer patients in the United States of America. My desire to help end workplace violence stemmed from an incident that occurred when my med-surg unit was threatened with mass violence via firearms. Following the incident, I spoke up. I was chosen to sit on the American Nurses Association Forum to End Nurse Abuse and sit on the workplace violence forum at the Meritus Medical Center.
