Description
The purpose of this research is to describe the lived experience of student nurses with horizontal violence in the clinical setting. Students were surveyed and interviewed regarding their experiences with specific behaviors of horizontal violence, and what actions, if any, were taken in response to the behavior. Five descriptive themes emerged from the data: "Hurry up," "Oh, she's just a student," "Don't worry about it; she's probably having a bad day," "Aren't you getting your BSN?," and "No opportunity to learn."
