Toxic Nursing, Second Edition: Managing Bullying, Bad Attitudes, and Total Turmoil

The Cover of the book Toxic Nursing depicts a hand holding an apple that were both dipped in black paintThe first edition of this book (co-authored with Rebecca Volpe, PhD, in 2013) was awarded the prestigious American Journal of Nursing Book of the Year award.  The book reached a wide audience of nurses, especially managers and administrators who address issues of relational aggression every day. Consequently the publishers requested an updated edition. Toxic Nursing, 2nd edition, contains new content on Title IX, discriminatory practices, and the pervasive use of social media in the nursing workplace.

In the book, nurse experts from around the world contribute their expertise in addressing common relational problems in the workplace. Current references, follow-up activities, and discussion questions are included for each chapter and the Appendices offer other resources, such as screening tools.
