I just left a position with several bullies. I think that it is important to look at the culture of the organization because if it is tolerated or ignored or not even recognized that some employees regularly bully others, then it will not stop. In my organization, it is almost impossible to keep nurses so the bullies are not confronted by management. Does this make sense long term? Um, no, but I'm not management and I was sick of the negativity. Don't blame the victim!!! Sure there are reasons that I was attacked but that doesn't mean that I deserved it. Though a few coworkers can make a work environment miserable, I focused on my patients and learning as much as I could. My direct coworkers liked me because they knew they could count on me not only to do my work and not leave messes for them to clean up but also because I was willing to help them when I could. So now I am going from RN staff to RN Supervisor in my new position. I plan to keep an eye out for bullying behavior because I don't like to see an organization lose good nurses because a few need to get a life!
