Nurse Bullying: 3 WAYS TO CATCH A COVERT BULLY

Gina is a legend. Not because of how great she is. Gina is a legend because of how HORRIFIC she is!

She befriends new nurses until she gains their trust and then she stands back and watches them drown.

When in charge, Gina assigns the most difficult patients to anyone she doesn’t like, while her friends just happen to get the easiest assignments.

Everyone knows Gina’s reputation, even her boss. Yet Gina is still there.

Watch the video to learn why Gina is still there?

Until our NEXT conversation…

The problem with HR is that they are there to protect the company not the employee. VERY FEW will go to bat for an employee against a company and support an employee IF and only if it is in the interest of the company.

It's the both the charge nurse and the unit manager. I had to shared my concerns with the educator, the nurse recruiter even my mentor. Turns out the educator was part of it also and the recruiter did not give two cents. I was fired.

I’ve got to say this isn’t good advice. Most cases including my own the victim is at the bottom of the hierarchy and so it is impossible to remove a bully from that position. Sorry.

How can you know someone did something before you have a case? Wouldn’t confronting them before building a case cause them to improve their strategy?

I notice covert bullies use flying monkeys a lot

Try the restaurant biz, high-school goonville, protected and encouraged by the celebrity chef, himself a narcissist. Taking my marching from morons is impossible.

This happens among teachers. Covert bullies talk about other teachers to parents. They’re usually in with the admin. Don’t follow this advice.

Getting rid of a nurse bully is a group effort usually. Bullies are quick to play a victim card. Even act threatening to sure or cause labor board issues.
I started my career in a unit (believe it or not I was given a choice) where bullying was absolutely forbidden. We all advocated against it and if someone came on that tried they were promptly reported and spoken to by the manager. The other unit was a different story and there was a team of 3 mean girls who were also their managers favorites for some reason. They would give out terrible assignments to nurse floated over to them which of course made them resist floating there, and travelers were totally screwed. travelers had to float first and one of them that was usually with us cried when they floated her over to that unit for the shift.
They weren't the greatest nurses either but made their reputation by criticizing others and the manager fell for that tactic. One of the nurses there told me she saw one of them give a medication without cleaning the port and I asked about reporting it and she was horrified and afraid to. "No way." in another incident (long story short) a patient died from neglect of one of the mean golden girls and the CNA that caught it and tried to get care for the patient was fired. Go figure.
I was SO glad I didn't have to work for them, but they were adjacent to us in our small hospital so we always knew what was going on.
I was a manager for 4 years and also intercepted bullies and made sure they understood it was a deal breaker and zero tolerance. I also had no turnover in that time and all my hires stayed.

Going to HR is a waste of time, HR ultimately are employed and paid by the company and most of the bullying I've both been the recipient of and also seen with others has come from someone in management or senior positions within the company, and going to HR or management is a complete waste of time, I am yet to see HR side with and help an employee who is being bullied. If you look at it your going to the bully and their minion accomplisas to investigate and do something about the bullying your actually accessing them of, how does that make sense? It doesn't. Whistle blow them on a public social media platform or journalist, make a public issue out of it and watch them run and hide once that spotlight they have actively worked around and avoided is all of a sudden cast on them without an ability to escape it, let people know who these individuals are, who these companies are and what they are doing to people. Workplace bullying is out of control and it's going to take people to stand strong and stand up to bullies before politicians and companies start taking this seriously, people are being pushed to the point of developing depression, suicide, not being able to function, losing their ability to support themselves and/or their families, it's just wrong and these people need to be held accountable

3 ways to catch a bully: 1) be at your workplace when you're off the clock, sneak up, and make your presence known if you overhear a conversation about you, then toss fishing net on top of your bully and club her/him repeatedly 2) ask to check the cameras if anything in your locker or your food has been stolen 3) pay coworkers to drop dimes on her/him; money talks, everything else walks.
