Bullying by Professors in Nursing School


Greetings! I am a 29 y/o 2nd degree nursing student. I am currently working on a paper for my Ethics class regarding Incivility and Bullying in the nursing environment. I have opted to focus this towards the nursing school environment. I have found one terrific article that deals with academic bullying by professors, but I am having a more difficult time finding one focused soley on the nursing school student. Does anyone have any ideas or links they can share? THe more I can't find articles the more I know I need to do this paper. I have peers in my school that have physical manifestations of stress related to going to clinical for fear of being yelled out, told to drop out, and that they will kill their patients. Students asking for help pronouncing a 27 letter long drug name are being told they are 'stupid' and patients won't want tobe cared for by them when they 'aren't smart enough to pronounce a word.' Instuctors telling students to 'be careful' regarding filing complaints because 'professors talk and complaining will only make you time left here harder than it needs to be.' The worst part of this situation is that the directors know but call the complaints hearsay. My Ethics professor is thrilled with the idea as she has been an advocate for students struggling with these 2 professors for over 3 yrs now. I am looking only for guidance here. I feel like I NEED to do this paper. If not for the exact change I am looking for, but to at least stir the pot and start a discussion.

melmarie 23- my school only has the PA, NJ, NY, and FL online resources available for Nursing Spectrum. I can't access the article via the link you posted either. Is there anyway you would be able to email it to me? I can request it from my library but it will take any where from 5 days to 6 wks. I appreciate all the help you have already provided, and hope I am not putting you out. If you can please let me know and I will send you my email address.

yeah those links wont work. I still posted them because it had the journal, volume and issue...plus the author's names. For me, I would have to get the journal through interlibrary loan. Does your library have that?

I dont have access to them...the pdf's that I posted were the only ones that I was able to obtain directly.

There are many articles out there though, which is why I posted these sources. Maybe take them to your library and see if they can help obtain them for you?
