Juice Inc. Works to End Nurse-on-Nurse Hostility

What issues loom in your line of work that higher-ups regularly pretend they don’t see?  What are the elephants in the room that prevent the workplace from being a healthy environment for all its workers?

Recruiters are familiar within their industry what the jobs are that see the most regular turn-over or abandonment of the profession.  Recruiters in the healthcare industry may be familiar with the satistics that show how 60 percent of new nursing grads leave their first position within six months because of abuse from a co-worker.  This statistic may shock people who are not in the heathcare industry.  When the news reports shortages of nurses in the United States, people’s minds may not assume that the reason for this shortage in partially due to a hostile work environment.

According to a press release by Juice Inc., some are taking action to end halt this widespread hostility.  In partnership with registered nurse Kathleen Bartholomew, Juice Inc. addresses the problem of nurse-to-nurse hostility and aims to provide the tools to end it.  In a two-part DVD series, Juice offers a comprehensive and compassionate look at the impact and solutions for nurse-to-nurse hostility.  The two-part DVD series is an alternative to in-person training sessions, which can often times be costly. In DVD format the sessions can be offered to staff as needed and when it’s most convenient.

“Statistics show that 25 percent of nurses quit the profession within the first two years,” said Bartholomew. “We want healthcare professionals to stop turning a blind eye, acknowledge the problem, manage it head on and empower individuals to have powerful, positive conversations that will create a healthy culture and environment.”
