Bullying of Nurses by Physicians and Co-Workers

One thing that we don’t hear much about is the bullying that goes on with nurses.  Now it is finally out in the news and the hospitals are finally trying to do something about it. They have a zero tolerance and have set up boundaries.  More than half of the nurses that were surveyed reported that they had been abused at work and had also witnessed a lot of abusive behavior.  A lot of the verbal abuse is instigated by the doctor and from fellow nurses.  Patients can also be abusive to nurses.
