nursel56 Specializes in Peds/outpatient FP,derm,allergy/private duty. Has 46 years experience. 7,015 Posts Oct 19, 2018 To be perfectly honest, never. As a matter of fact, somehow I made it through a few decades before I even heard of NETY or bully. I've heard of buddy in nursing, though. That is what the hospital called the nurse assigned to help you after classroom orientation. The medical students and residents had preceptors. The nurses had buddies. Maybe that was their subtle way of reminding the old bats to act like a buddy when they really would rather act like a bully.The above is not intended to dismiss anyone else's experience with this. I've read some pretty horrendous examples here. 0 Likes

elkpark 14,633 Posts Oct 19, 2018 Very, very, very little in >30 years of nursing (no more so, I'm sure, than occurs in other fields). I've seen plenty of nurses bullied by physicians, but that's a different matter. Can we please just drop this tired old cliche'? 0 Likes

TruvyNurse 354 Posts Oct 19, 2018 What do you define as bullying? Some young nurses these days consider constructive criticism to be "bullying".... 0 Likes
