This quantitative research study seeks to discover the effects of workplace bullying on RNs who have been in the profession for less than 3 years. A list of 5,000 RNs who had obtained a licence from Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana between 2009 and 2010 were obtained. Next, these nurses were mailed postcards with the link to a survey website and a ten dollar gift card. The results from 197 RNs were able to be used for the purpose of this research. An exploratory, descriptive cross-sectional survey was implanted for this research. The majority of the respondents were female (91%), Caucasian (90.9%), and less than 30 years of age (59.4%). The results from this survey indicated that 21.3% of new nurses were subject to workplace bullying on a daily basis, and 44.7% were the target of workplace bullying. Those most likely person to bully new nurses were other staff nurses (44%), followed by nurse leaders (19%) and lastly, physicians (6%). As a result of workplace violence, novice nurses’ cognitive abilities were negatively affected, and their capacity to handle patient loads decreased. In order to create a safer working environment, nurses must feel as though they have someone to talk to in confidence, and be able to trust the organization they work for. Limitations to this study were the small sample size over three states (n=197), and the age majority of the participants involved (≅ 30 years of age or younger). This article is applicable to a paper on nursing bullying, as it provides information based on a specific population (new graduates). It shows the consequences of new nursing being bullied,
