  8. Nurse-to-Nurse Lateral Violence (NNLV) NNLV is delivered through gossiping, backbiting, blaming, jealousy and other negative behaviors from nurses who have more tenure either in rank, time at institution and even age. The most commonly exhibited signs of NNLV are: “nonverbal innuendo”, “verbal affront”, “undermining activities”, “withholding information”, “sabotage”, “infighting”, “scapegoating”, “broken confidences”, “backstabbing” and “failure to protect privacy” [15]. NNLV can cause intense feelings of inferiority and rage in nurses who are on the receiving end.

  9. The Prescription for Nursing Lateral Violence New leaders should emphasize and reward behavior that uplifts their employees and not knowingly or unwittingly endorse such behaviors. Most importantly, new leaders need to be committed to not personally indulge in NNLV behavior AND to speak candidly with colleagues if they suspect that they are indulging in or passively allowing this behavior. New leaders should inform their immediate supervisors if they feel that this situation may be occurring in their department
