Ask any nurse if he or she has heard the phrase, “Nurses eat their young,” and you’ll get nods of sad recognition. Nurses choose their profession to deliver compassionate and effective patient care, and then they discover the ugly in nursing: nurses can be horrific to each other.
Finally, here is a book to guide nurses along a new path. Renee Thompson, DNP, RN, FAAN, CSP, a bullying and incivility nurse expert with extensive experience in direct patient care, leadership, and education across healthcare venues, tackles the dirty secret that has plagued nursing for years.
You’ll learn:
"As a house supervisor, my only resource for dealing with incivility and bullying was Dr. Thompson's book 'Enough! Eradicating Bullying and Incivility in Healthcare.' If I had not read Dr. Thompson’s book, I would not have had any resources to successfully handle a very difficult situation."
"This book not only explained the problems that we have been facing but gave our leadership team scripting to use when having difficult conversations. It has also given us talking points that we have used to empower our staff to address the problems head on."
"Your resources have already been valuable to me and my team. I stumbled on to your book “Enough” last year and it was the first book I actually highlighted almost every page. I bought copies for my manager and our leadership team. I am hoping we can all start speaking the same encouraging language."
