Workplace violence and bulling in nursing

Workplace violence and bullying is sometimes not clear to identify and at the same time this type of harassment happens frequently. Usually the victim happens to be new hires and the perpetrator is someone who has been doing this harm occasionally and has never been caught and reported. What is even possible is that the perpetrator does not realize it is harsh comments, gossip, a piece of information made up and not true, and this behavior is called UNCONSIOUS BIAS.

Unconsious bias is PREJUDICE which means a preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience (definition from Oxford languaged).

Workplace violence is not tolerated in big retail stores the same thing inside hospitals or healthcare facilities. All new hires and  all employees must go through mandatory training courses and must report this type of violent behavior to the open doors, and the theme for that is called "If you see something say something.

What are some of the situations that are considered violent?

"Intimidating or undermining employee by demeaning their work standards, not giving them credit, setting them up for failure and constantly reminding them of old mistakes" 

"Threatening employee personal self-steem and work status. Isolating employees from opportunities, information, and interaction with others" . Source: Google Search "What are the bully tactics at work?'

"Examples of bullying in the workplace:

Constantly criticising someone's work

Spreading malicious rumors about someone

Constantly putting someone down in meetings

Excluding someone from team-workload then everyone else  

Deliberately giving a heavier workload than everyone else

Excluding someone from team social events" Source: Google search

Gossip is related tp parrots, if has been dreams with those birds it is a sign someone might be gossiping about you. Look up spiritual meaning of dream with parrots. 

The best is to address with the perpetrator if he or she keeps saying these malicious comments he or she will be reported. 

Finally, I'm going to end this post by quoting some wise quotes by Florence Shinn:

"There is a supply for every demand".

"There is a place that you are to fill and no one else can fill, something you are to do which no one else can do". 

"The first start toward success is to be glad you are yourself"

"Every person is a golden link in the chain of my good"

"Gratitude is the law of increase and complaint is the law of decrease"

"What is really yours? The blessings you bring to yourself through your spoken or silent words, the things you see with your inner eye".

Forgive it, realiase it, and  move on, if that looks like a not very  welcoming enviornment, let it go. Something greater and much better is been prepared.
