Topic: The phrase “nurses eat their young” has been around for decades. The consequences of bullying include nurses reporting

Discuss the answer of two of your classmates discussion:

Classmate 1: Do you feel bullying or horizontal violence is an issue in the clinical environment? Why or why not?
Nurse bullying is a widespread, systemic issue that begins long before nursing school and continues throughout a nurse’s employment. Bullying is expected to exacerbate the growing nursing shortage by causing a considerable number of nurses to abandon their initial employment due to the unfavorable behaviors of their coworkers. Bullying in the workplace causes depression, decreased work motivation, decreased ability to concentrate, poor productivity, lack of dedication to work, and poor relationships with patients, bosses, and colleagues. Workplace bullying is a measurable issue that has a negative impact on the nurses in this study’s psychology and performance (Bullying among nurses and its effects, 2019)

Discuss how the nurse mentor can promote professional socialization in the workplace.
The nurse mentor can promote professional socialization by mentoring all health care employees and teaching them the importance of healthy socialization and the value of teamwork and professional communication. The nurse mentor should also urge the younger nurses to stand up for themselves, say no to bullying, and report any other nurse who attempts to bully them. Instead of being against each other, teamwork ensures that patients will receive safe and effective care if all members in the health care team work together to plan treatment and interventions (Martin, 2010).
