Hostility: Why Nurses Eat Their Young and Each Other Softbound Book
"It's about time that nurses have a practical and timely book for assessing and eliminating the horizontal violence that marks so much of our professional life. This book focuses on the origin and nature of the mutual violence and negativity (horizontal hostility) we have exhibited with each other and upon our colleagues for so long. It suggests ways to deal with it and move toward more healthy styles of relationship and interaction. I simply cannot imagine a nurse (or anyone for that matter) who cannot benefit from using this resource. If you haven't obtained it yet, get it now; you will find here something that will truly add value to your personal and professional development." — Tim Porter-O'Grady, EdD, APRN, FAAN, nationally respected expert Admitting that disruptive nurse-to-nurse relationships exist in your facility is the first step to recovery. The expression "nurses eat their young and each other" is so far removed from our idea of the caring and nurturing nurse, we shudder to think it could possibly be true. But the truth is, nurses are hurting each other. Long hours, difficult physicians, and the emotional demands of the job can take their toll and cause nurses of all ages to act hostile toward one another. What can you do about it? Begin your intervention with Ending Nurse-to-Nurse Hostility: Why Nurses Eat Their Young and Each Other. This book provides "to the point" discussion, powerful advice and practical strategies to solve the problems. Through captivating anecdotal scenarios, Ending Nurse-to-Nurse Hostility examines the many facets of horizontal hostility and offers strategies to make your workplace more peaceful and attractive to current staff and future employees. "This book tells it like it is. Until we (nurses) are willing to name what we've all experienced, nothing will change. But there's hope. We have the privilege of creating a healing environment for our patients and ourselves." — Elaine D. Goehner, PhD, RN, CPHQ, Swedish Medical Center, Seattle, WA "Ending Nurse-to-Nurse Hostility is a ground-breaking work that sheds light on a very dark secret in nursing: Shortages and dissatisfaction arise as much from the serious effects of internal, horizontal violence as from low pay, long hours, and poor treatment by physicians. For the situation to improve, it has to be recognized and discussed openly, and Kathleen Bartholomew has nailed both the diagnosis and the cure. Nothing less than the safety of the American patient depends on understanding and meeting these challenges." — John J. Nance, JD, Founding Board Member, National Patient Safety Foundation Whether you're a nurse manager looking to end the cycle of nurse-to-nurse hostility or a staff member who feels you are or have been a victim of such behavior, this book will help you:
Researchers report that verbal abuse contributes to up to 24% of staff turnover and 42% of nurse administrator turnover. To make matters worse, studies indicate that approximately 60% of newly registered nurses leave their first position within six months because of some form of horizontal hostility. With the nursing shortage and high turnover rates affecting nearly every facility, it is imperative that nurse leaders determine, assess, and eliminate the factors that influence and perpetuate the problems facing the nursing profession today.
