Episode description

What can you do when your attending physician is a bully?

Hear from two nurses, Melissa and Laura, about their experiences being bullied by a physician.

For Melissa, it was notifying an on-call physician that a baby was ready to be delivered, only to be scolded for calling too soon.

For Laura, it was being reprimanded by a physician who questioned her abilities as a nurse in front of a patient.

So how do you respond to a bully, especially when the bully is in a position of power?

Connie spoke with Carolyn Smith, an associate professor and associate dean of research, and author of "Standing Up Against Workplace Bullying Behavior: Recommendations From Newly Licensed Nurses" for insight.

Carolyn, Melissa, and Laura all weigh in on standing up for yourself, calling out bullying, and sticking to your boundaries.
