Abstract

The meaning behind it is quite simple, it refers to the bullying and harassment of fresh nurses, and those four simple words can cause great frustration for new nurses. A large percentage of nurses leave their first job due to misconduct on the part of their colleagues, and bullying is likely to exacerbate the growing shortage of nurses. A bullying culture contributes to a poor nurse work environment, increased risk to patients. Nurses are often seen performing their duties with great vigor, no matter how challenging the task. Bullying is the repeated pattern of destructive behavior with the conscious or unconscious do harm. Bullying nurse is not a new thing, nurse is bullied in each step/ on daily basis during her work life. Bullying is a recurring pattern of destructive behavior to raise awareness or harm to nurses.
