Incivility, lateral violence or bullying in nursing practice are behaviors, although unpleasant, that require discussion. A great deal of information is available about these topics in the nursing literature for your review. Observations such as eye-rolling, ignoring requests for information, or other efforts to sabotage student success are examples of inappropriate behavior. A specific example is when a staff member belittles your student in front of a patient or family member, accusing them of not performing care, when in fact, they did. Hopefully you will never encounter incivility, lateral violence, or bullying of your students during the clinical experience.
Organisational accounts of bullying: an interactive approach
Published in Jacqueline Randle, Christine Webb, Workplace Bullying in the NHS, 2001
Again managers may admit to the use of bullying quite openly as a tactic. Anna, a medical nurse manager, justifies the use of coercive tactics but angles her actions from the need to maintain staff ‘competencies’. She admits she and other managers have used this tactic; she says: Bullying in nursing is not seen as bullying, people look at competencies. And they use it as that angle … You are not coming up to competency, or you are not coming up to your role. Therefore I want you to come up to your role … nurses can be blinkered. They don't always see the other person's point of view.
Development of Vignettes to Explore Workplace Bullying
Published in Issues in Mental Health Nursing, 2018
Bullying in nursing is known to occur in nursing and poses a threat to patient safety, but a direct link is lacking. The bullying vignettes created in this validity study provide a means for more closely examining the relationship between bullying and patient outcomes. An understanding of this relationship provides an opportunity to better impact patient safety. The vignettes also have the potential to enhance education about bullying to better prepare nurses to respond if confronted with a bullying situation. Bullying is known to occur in healthcare; therefore, preparation is needed to address it when it occurs in order to protect both the nurses and patients.
Art and knowing in health management education

One issue that health managers have to grapple with is workplace harassment and bullying. It is a longstanding and prevalent problem, reported as far back as 1909 in the New York Times (as cited in Castronovo et al. 2016, p. 208), and impacting approximately half of nurses (Dewitty et al. 2009, p. 32), although the true extent of bullying in nursing will be largely unknown (Hartin et al. 2020). What can be said is that health managers do have an important role in raising awareness of, and addressing, workplace harassment and bullying and this is the health management and policy analysis context (Hartin et al. 2020) of the case.
