Answer preview
Nurses play a crucial role in providing quality and affordable health care. They work on a 12-hour shift, manage multiple complex patients while often short-staffed, cope with trauma, work without adequate meals, and providing comfort to heartbroken family members (Kumar et al., 2014). Society depicts them as professionals who are selfless, compassionate, and have a sense of grace. Unfortunately, despite their reputation, most of them experience bullying. The American Nurses Association elaborates bullying to be unwanted, repeated harmful behavior intended to offend, humiliate and cause distress to the recipient. Moreover, it threatens nurse safety and sanity, patient safety, and the nursing profession’s reputation as a whole.
