From the Paper:
"Lateral violence is a prevalent problem within the nursing profession. While the Workplace Bullying Institute estimates that roughly 37% of all U.S. workers have experienced bullying within the workplace, that figure rises to 70% for professional nurses (Stagg & Sheridan, 2010). Victims of lateral violence often do not complain about the bullying behaviors of their co-workers, so the rate of victimized nurses may actually be higher than those reported. Bullying and other forms of non-physical lateral violence are significantly more common among nurses than physical violence (Felblinger, 2008)."Bullying is also a serious problem within nursing schools. Randle (2003) surveyed the self-esteem of 43 students enrolled in a nursing program in the United Kingdom. The qualitative survey revealed a high incidence of localized bullying and other examples of lateral violence within the nursing program. Nurses who were not themselves the victim of bullying were often witnesses to bullying acts. Randle (2003) hypothesized that the victimization of nursing students likely contributed to the high incidence of bullying within professional practice by indoctrinating young nurses to view bullying as an established practice. The early victims and witnesses were more likely to become bullies themselves later in their career."
