Editor's Notes
According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) “horizontal violence is an act of violence directed toward a person at work or on duty.” (Occupational Safety and Health Administration, 2008). Horizontal violence is any threat of a nurse directing threats towards each other or themselves and those less powerful than them. Horizontal violence is any attempt to cause physical harm such as striking or pushing an individual. Disorderly conduct involves shouting or throwing objects or even slamming doors. Verbal harassment is abusive language or gestures towards fellow nurses. Making false statements against coworkers.
