According to Edmonson & Zelonka, bullying in nursing begins in nursing schools, where nursing students may encounter aggressive behavior during their clinical rotations (2019). One of the recent studies showed that 77% of nursing students were bullied over a year. Another study revealed that 59% of RNs leave their first jobs because of lateral violence and aggression of their colleagues. Bullying can range from verbal abuse to physical threatening. Often bullying can be easy to recognize. This may include unnecessary remarks, verbal humiliation of a person, excessive control. However, sometimes it can be difficult to recognize bullying. For example, giving RN unfair workload with “more difficult” patients or gossiping about him/her. Bullying can occur based on age and experience differences. For example, older RNs can bully novice RNs because they lack practical knowledge. Younger RNs can bully older RNs for some physical limitations. Bullying can also be based on gender. For example, male RNs can be more dominant and bully female RNs. Bullying can also be based on the personal trauma of the bully, which is projected onto his/her colleagues. I’ve been lucky so far with my coworkers. Everybody has been helpful from day one when I started working as RN. I always have support from my coworkers and can rely on them in difficult times. The hospital where I work promotes this type of relationship between colleagues. In case if I was bullied by someone at my workplace, I would get manager involved right away. I think it would be the best way of self-protection.
