Question Your Response
1.      Describe how you searched for a resource that could inform you about your situation from Journal #1, and that can guide you in the future. I conducted a simple search on Chamberlain library. Herein, I search the for peer reviewed articles published within the last five years on how to manage and prevent bullying among nurses. My key words included: workplace bullying, nurses, prevention, and impact. I found numerous articles that fell within my search criteria. From the results, I selected an article that provides a comprehensive overview of the phenomenon of workplace bullying among nurses. The selected article provides an assessment of bullying among nurses, its impact on the financial and clinical outcomes of the organization, as well as strategies that can help address the problem.
