Abstract
Nurses and organizational leadership that witness and fail to report known incivility and bullying in the workplace, should be held accountable for fostering unhealthy and unsafe work environments. Failure to uphold the American Nurses Association Code of Ethics (ANA, 2018) which prohibits disruptive behaviors within the workplace, gravely impacts the health and well-being of all nurses. The fair treatment of others with respect and communication that fosters unity and conflict resolution, contributes to creating healthy workplaces for nurses. The purpose of this research on bullying and incivility within the nursing profession was to examine how uncivil behaviors present themselves in workplaces. Workplace settings such as the academic and clinical environments were explored. Solutions to ending bullying and incivility in the workplace are provided to enable nurses and healthcare organizations to develop cultures whereby a zero tolerance is adopted (ANA, 2015).
