Feeling like someone at work is out to get you? Dealing more with politics than your patients? Are you a new nurse who can’t get anything right…at least, if your coworkers are to be believed?
You might be in a toxic work environment.

1. Take that! How I (kind of) defeated the nurse who is out to get me
2. How do I deal with nurse bullies?
3. 5 types of difficult coworkers!
