We want to hear from you if you’re a nurse who’s been bullied* in the past 5 years

Workplace bullying is prevalent in nursing, yet organisational interventions have often failed to produce the intended positive outcomes.

We’re Massey University researchers exploring how the challenges nurses face in coping with bullying may affect the success of organisational responses.

If you’re interested in participating or want to know more about this study, please contact Dr Vasudha Rao on: [email protected]
