Description:
Nurses are often surprised to hear that a significant percentage of nurses leave their first job due to the negative behaviours of their co-workers. The exodus contributes to the nursing shortage, so this issue needs to be a priority concern to nurses at all career levels, in all settings. In this webinar we’re pleased to welcome two nurses who have researched bullying in nursing, who will share their findings and knowledge on the subject. Please join Kathryn Chachula, RN, BN, MN, PhD, CCNE and Nadine Smith, RN, BN, MN, CCNE, who will: cover how bullying and incivility in nursing looks; discuss a professional definition of bullying and incivility to help us identify it; explore the underlying causes of these behaviours; examine the consequences in health care environments; and explore strategies that nurses, managers and educators can use to respond to bullying and incivility.
Please note: Allied health staff, managers and educators in mental health, the rehabilitation therapies, pharmacy and social work may also benefit from this webinar.
