In this episode, Ian speaks with Dr. Rosemary Taylor, PhD, RN, CNL, an experienced nurse and academic scholar with a wealth of knowledge and an interest in studying interpersonal violence, bullying and other noxious behaviors in the health care environment, particularly amongst nurses. Nurse on nurse "horizontal violence" as she has termed in in her dissertation defense and beyond is a construct which has been notoriously difficult to measure and evaluate in the research on this topic, and Dr. Taylor's life's work is to help tease apart these issues in an effort to disentangle the structural barriers to intervening and improving the work environment for individual nurses. In particular, Ian and Rosemary talk about her three 'subtypes' of nursing bully, as elucidated by her PhD thesis.
