| Discipline: | Nursing | | Subject Definition: | Nursing Staff, Hospital-Organization & Administration | | NLM Class: | WY 87 | | LC Class: | RT85 | | Abstract: | According to the Health and Human Services Nursing Study (2010), 47.8% of former nurses cited reasons related to horizontal hostility as their reason for leaving the profession. Revised to reflect current research on horizontal hostility in the nursing field (also known as lateral violence), Ending Nurse-to-Nurse Hostility, Second Edition, provides staff nurses and their managers with techniques to create a workplace that promotes team relationships and career development while preventing burnout. Ending Nurse-to-Nurse Hostility provides staff nurses and their managers with the knowledge they need to: Identify verbal abuse, bullying, and other detrimental behaviors. Develop responses to defuse or head off such behaviors. Create positive alternatives to hostility. These skills support the success of the individual nurse, the unit, and patient care quality at a time when healthcare systems are publicly ranked on patient experience and outcomes. |
