STOP the HV in nursing!!!!!

One of my students in the RN-BSN class asked me if I had any guidance for her after she earns BSN.  She said the horizontal violence on the floor has gotten worse.  She was not sure she wanted to stay on the floor.  How sad is this?  Administration at facilities have got to get a grip on this behavior and STOP it!!!  If they would start with zero tolerance and get rid of the nurses who continue to practice in this manner, I am sure we would see a decline in HV in nursing.  Bullying is not allowed in the workplace and HV in nursing is a form of bullying!!!!  Nursing is a profession that prides itself in caring for clients in a therapeutic and holistic manner.  We provide integrity and dignity with respect to those we serve.   Why would nurses not do this for their colleagues?   Facilities are losing good nurses because Administration allows HV in nursing to continue.  They know it is going on but do nothing to stop it. Even when it is staring them in the face, nurses are resigning and telling them why, they do nothing.  Heavens, sometimes Administration is the problem.  How many staff nurses are intimidated when  they need to be off work for a medical procedure?  How many co workers do not take their turn to be pulled to another floor, refuse to go, and are allowed to get by with this?  How many directors and managers belittle the staff nurses? When is someone going to stand up and say, "I am mad and I am not going to take it anymore?"  One person can make a difference and that person is you!
