I was reading an article about nurses and workplace bullying. I was astounded that up to 46% had either been the victim of bullying or admitted to being the aggressors and 65% of nurses surveyed had witnessed 1 or more episodes of lateral violence between coworkers.

Is this as common in the pre hospital environment?
Would bullying be different than “hazing the new guy”?
Does the pre hospital community show more civility and solidarity than hospital environments?
Why?
