Perspective on bullying
The Center for American Nurses views bullying as
associated with individuals at different levels in an
organization (different levels of power and
authority).
Examples of bullying include:
being assigned undesirable work assignments,
resources or information withheld, excluded
from activities or conversations, being
humiliated in front of others, nonverbal
intimidation.
