After a long trial, the Royal Ottawa hospital has been acquitted of all three charges stemming from a patient attack on a staff member in 2012. Commenting on the outcome, Vicki McKenna, vice-president of the Ontario Nurses’ Association, told the Ottawa Citizen: “It’s a sad day for us. I don’t think people know how dangerous and difficult the work that nurses do is.”
