Violence between and among workers is not unusual today. In health care, violence is a continuing problem among nurses, as well as other disciplines. There are several theories about lateral violence; those which examine the phenomenon as a role, oppressed group, gender or self-esteem esteem issue.

Violence in the nursing workplace has a demoralizing presence. The fact that nurses are visiting violence on their nursing colleagues should raise a red flag to nurse leaders that something is wrong – very wrong. Regardless of the theoretical approach embraced, the story is the same – nurses are being demeaned, traumatized, and turned off to the profession. They are being abused and/or abusing others. In this Webinar recent research is shedding light on solutions to eliminate lateral violence in the workplace.
