Question:
Dear Donna,
Is there an anti-bullying law? It is incredible how many nurses are codependent and follow the leader into harassing and singling out one person while attempting to ruin his or her RN license.

Dear Donna replies:
Dear CC,
Harassment and bullying of any type should never be tolerated, and most employers have strict policies against it. Check out your employer’s policy and take any appropriate steps. You should report harassment to your supervisor and, if necessary, to human resources. See the articles “End Workplace Abuse” (www.DCardillo.com/articles/workplaceabuse.html) and “Seven Strategies for Managing Conflict” (www.DCardillo.com/articles/sevenstrategies.html) for tips and advice.
Best wishes,
Donna
