Abstract

Studies examining nursing students' unique experience of bullying are increasingly evident. This article explores national and international literature over the past decade on prevalence rates, potential impact on nursing students, and relevance to socialization to the profession of nursing. Historical considerations are provided along with policies and interventions to empower nursing leaders, academicians, clinicians, and students to prevent or minimize the destructive nature of bullying.
