Joy Longo,

Intimate Partner and Family Violence

In a research study student nurses in the clinical setting reported experiencing horizontal violence or "nurses eating their young." The types of behaviors most frequently encountered were emotional and verbal attacks. Some students did not report incidences of horizontal violence to their instructors, so it is important that the faculty be cognizant that such behaviors can occur and establish open communication to assist students in dealing with such behaviors.
