The study identified bullying as a serious issue among nurses. One nurse in that study stated: I can honestly say that there is bullying everyday that I work. Until now I didn't realize that eye-rolling, gossiping, or ignoring someone were forms of bullying. I can see, though, how those kinds of behaviors can have a negative impact on our personal and professional lives. I don't know why we treat one another the way we do. I guess we've just been socialized that way. (Tanner, 2011, p. 77)
