dc.description.abstractHorizontal violence (HV) is a familiar term used within the nursing profession. Certain populations of nurses are more susceptible to HV than others. Graduate nurses (GNs), nurses within their first 12 months of practice, are widely considered a vulnerable population within the profession, and thus more at risk for HV. A common thread found in the literature is that the damage from HV is at all levels of healthcare. The purpose of this research was to explore how HV affects GNs. Interviews were conducted to collect data and analyze the data using thematic analysis. Participants included eight GNs or RNs, all of whom had experience with HV in their first 12 months of practice. The two main themes that were found in this study are Toxic Nursing Culture and Fear. Horizontal violence poses a serious challenge for GNs entering the nursing profession. It is essential to have an understanding of the challenges that GNs are facing today when they enter the workforce in order to promote change and advocate for safe workplace environments.en_US
