This Tri-Cities nurse was choked at work. The violence must stop, she says

Sep 26, 2018


Ashley Schade is a nurse in inten­sive care, where diffi­cult days aren’t in short supply.

But Sept. 16 was partic­u­larly tough.

A patient allegedly choked her during a shift — an act that left marks on her neck, as well as emotional trauma.
