Whether you are a clinical nurse or working as an LNC, you will inevitably experience conflict: with a doctor, an administrator, a lawyer client, or with staff. You will encounter bullying. Joyce Weiss, an expert in conflict resolution, shares some suggestions you can use right away to defuse conflict, maintain your self-esteem, and make your voice heard.
There’s healthy conflict and there’s unhealthy conflict. Healthy conflict is so good and it is the unhealthy kind that gets under our skin. In corporate America, there’s so much unhealthy conflict that it’s bringing people to either leave their jobs, go to coaches, or live a very frustrating life because they don’t know how to get out.
The nurse who is listening to this podcast who’s worked in any kind of a healthcare setting, which is probably 100% of the people who are listening, can think of conflicts and bullying that have arisen in the workplace. The biggest source of conflicts are nurse-to-physician and nurse-to-nurse. It’s usually not so much nurse-to-patients; it’s much more the people at the same level or the people above them if you are thinking from a pure organizational chart perspective.
