Overview:
Nurse-to-nurse bullying threatens the safety and well-being of patients and nurses. The misconduct is a major problem for all nurses and causes 60% of new nurses to leave their first nursing position and 1 in 3 nurses to quit the profession.
Sometimes the bullying is so
subtle it is almost invisible yet causes cumulative damage to the
targeted nurse as well as those nurses who witness the behavior. The
Joint Commission requires healthcare organizations seeking accreditation
to address the misconduct.
Yet, healthcare is notoriously known
for not preventing the behavior or intervening when it occurs. What
should you do if you are targeted or a witness to the behavior? If you
are a nurse leader, what are your responsibilities to prevent and
intervene with the bullying occurring in your environment?
Why you should Attend:
Violence in healthcare is an epidemic. Nurses are the primary targets of
violence from patients, family members, visitors, doctors, and each
other. Why would nurses bully each other? Why aren't they supportive of
each other?
What role does their gender play in attacking each
other? This webinar will explore the phenomena of nurses to nurse
bullying examining why it happens, who is the most likely target, and
what hospital administration, nurse executives, and nurses themselves
should do to prevent the abuse.
