title: Seeing Students Squirm: Nursing Students' Experiences of Bullying Behaviors During Clinical Rotations.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Bullying remains a troubling problem in the nursing profession. Nursing students may encounter bullying behavior in clinical settings. However, they may not be adequately prepared to recognize and handle bullying behavior when it occurs. This study's purpose was to gain a greater understanding of nursing students' experiences of bullying behaviors in the clinical setting.
  
  
  METHODS
  Using a descriptive qualitative approach, eight focus groups were held with 56 undergraduate baccalaureate nursing students from four college campuses. Focus group data were coded and analyzed for themes.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Four categories were identified: Bullying Behaviors, Rationale for Bullying, Response to Bullying, and Recommendations to Address Bullying. Each category and its corresponding themes are presented.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Interventions for nurse educators to address the bullying of nursing students in clinical settings are presented. [J Nurs Educ. 2016;55(9):505-513.].
