The article was selected because it shows the effects of bullying in nurse education. It also identifies the perpetrators of bullying nursing students. Bullying in nursing occurs at an international level. I wanted to show how students in nursing have encountered bullying at various levels. The study has demonstrated how Australian nursing students have faced bullying. Over eight hundred Australian nursing students participated in the study. The participants provided their experiences with bullying (Birks, Budden, Biedermann, Park, & Chapman, 2018). Bullies were identified as being nurses, healthcare experts, and other staff. Students were affected by losing confidence and being anxious.

Hartin, P., Birks, M., & Lindsay, D. (2020). Bullying in nursing: How has it changed over four decades?. Journal of Nursing Management, 28(7), 1619-1626.

The selected article identifies the development of nursing to highlight the underlying factors that lead to its existence. The study was conducted to determine how bullying in nursing is in Australia. The nature of bullying has changed over the past forty years. I also noted the reason for the persistence of bullying in the system. Interviews and online data sources were used as sources for testimonies of nurses about bullying (Hartin, Birks, & Lindsay, 2020). Data was collected from seventy registered nurses in Australia. Many studies have identified the impacts of bullying in nursing. However, very few studies have highlighted the evolution of bullying in nursing.

Johnson, A. H., & Benham‐Hutchins, M. (2020). The influence of bullying on nursing practice errors: a systematic review. AORN Journal, 111(2), 199-210.

The reference has been selected because it shows the relationship between bullying and errors made in the nursing practice. Bullying in the nurse workplace has led nurses to make errors during their operations. The study has described how bullying has led nurses to make errors during practice. Articles between 2012 and 2017 have been used as sources for the literature. These articles emphasize nurse bullying in several work environments, such as emergency departments and critical care units (Johnson, & Benham‐Hutchins, 2020). Fourteen articles were also used to show the influence of bullying on nurse practice mistakes and barriers in teamwork.

Reference # 4:

Meires, J. (2018). The essentials: Here's what you need to know about bullying in nursing. Urologic Nursing, 38(2), 95-99.

The article describes the essential factors that entail bullying or incivility in the nursing profession. I have selected this article because it highlights what bullying is defined as. It can also assist nurses in identifying bullying scenarios. Professionals in healthcare are required to behave civilly. Their behavior should have respect, accommodation, acceptance, and hospitality depending on the circumstance. Behaviors that are not ideal to the nursing environment include bullying, incivility, and hostility. The study has defined bullying and its synonyms (Meires, 2018). The reader will comprehend what bullying is or is not. Moreover, the study has been included to help nurses read situations that involve bullying. They can further identify ways to curb bullying in the nursing workplace.

O’Flynn-Magee, K., Ong, S., & Esson, L. (2021). Stepping out of the shadows: creating a graphic novella to address bullying in nursing education.

The reference has been used because it shows the implications of bullying in nursing education. The study also used a creative method of comics to capture the attention of students. In many cases, bullying is a sensitive subject that requires privacy. Bullying in nursing education has had profound implications. Bullying occurs at interpersonal, structural, and institutional levels. Solving cases involving bullying requires all levels to be highlighted. The study also shows that students need effective mechanisms for identifying bullying in the nursing environment (O’Flynn-Magee, Ong, & Esson, 2021). It has also identified the roles that stakeholders in education can play to solve bullying. Stakeholders include students, clinical instructors, staff, education leaders, and registered nurses.

The article explains the severe effects of bullying in healthcare. I have selected the article because it shows the interventions taken against bullying by both nursing students and healthcare professionals. Educational interventions include curriculum modification, problem-based learning, and rehearsals. Several healthcare accreditation agencies have emphasized the impact of bullying on healthcare. The Joint Commission has described bullying as negatively affecting patient safety. Many studies have shown that bullying in nursing has negative implications (Rutherford, Gillespie, & Smith, 2019, January). Nurse leaders and healthcare leaders have taken several steps to address bullying. Over two hundred articles were used as sources for the study.
