The medical profession/field has changed, because at one time nurses were low paid, received little respect. Truly caring people went into the field. Then, when nursing pay went up, more prestige, the profession had more people who were about the pay. That is when more bullies started in the field, maybe? I don't know. Bully nurses don't bother me, I can shut them down pretty quick, they bully people lower on the totem pole than me. I knew one bully nurse, she terrorized all the students. I called her out on her BS. Because I could. It is trickier when people your same level or above you are bullying you.

jasper12..Thanks for the explanation. If nurses earn more money today and have more prestige it seems like they would take pride in behaving like "true professionals."...I don't judge people by how much money they make or the so-called status of their occupation. (Or how "little" they earn etc.) It all depends on the behavior of each individual. Some people earn and deserve respect and others don't. (Based on their behavior and actions towards others and how they "conduct" themselves in all situations.) How do you feel about it? Thanks again for the info.

It's good to see someone in the public eye do something about bullying. Apparently she was bullied herself as a child. "Born to Not Get Bullied:" http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/01/op...d.html?_r=2&hp
