Discussion about horizontal violence (HV) in nursing. HV starts at the top with administration and trickles down to the patient. If there is zero tolerance, nurses will not participate in bullying. No participation equals positive work environment, happy nurses, and positive patient outcomes.

I had an amazing experience on the floor this week. It was the first week for the students and we passed many medications, performed dressing changes, bed changes, and bathes. The students performed so well and the staff nurses were welcoming, nurturing, and helpful to me. When we have more than five or six students on the floor it makes it almost impossible to give each student a positive experience that is filled with learning. I want to give a shout out to the nurses on 2SE at Clark Memorial Hospital in Jeffersonville, Indiana. Cindy, Carol, Diane, and Del. Thank you for being positive role models, mentors, and advocates for the student nurses! Many nurses could learn a few a things from you!
