The Impacts Of Bullying

She’s been a long-time advocate of stopping bullying in the health industry hence the creation of  Nurses and Midwives Against Bullying Australia

In this week’s episode of the High Performance Nursing, I welcome back the amazing Tammy Copley. The last time we had her on the show, Tammy explained the bullying and harassment nursing pandemic. 

Now, she gives an in-depth discussion of what bullying is all about, it’s impacts, how is it reinforced and how can nurses get out of it.
