In nursing, the "crab mentality"—where individuals pull each other down instead of lifting each other up—can damage team morale and lead to a toxic work environment. To create a more supportive, collaborative culture, we need to shift the focus from competition to celebration.
Here are three ways to combat the crab mentality and foster a more positive atmosphere:
By creating a culture of celebration over competition, we build a more supportive, respectful environment where every team member can thrive.

5 天前Renee Thompson DNP, RN, FAAN, Workplace Bullying Expert , This is such a great and insightful write up, and I think if we nurses can ponder more on this it will be a game change. Truly, cultivating a mindset and spirit of celebrating and complimenting others and not competing is a very important aspect that nurses and other health professionals must embrace if there must be; quality patient care, innovation and adaptation to the challenges that might come our way which I think it's inevitable. Nurses like any other human being , love appreciation and celebration for what and who they are. So, developing the spirit of finding worth in others is the surest way to building a culture of togetherness in diversity. People only thrive when they recognize that, they are because some people are there, not necessarily having a whole claim of independence. Be the nurse that celebrate, set boundaries, encourage and support.

5 天前Love this, I feel this is really good advice??. But it is pretty hard when you have 2 RNs, 1 tech, 1 lab person, Assistant Director Rn, Director of care health facility(in your area) all working against you bullying and trying to set you up for failure. Every time you look around you think that something‘s gonna happen bad because it’s not just everyone you work with. It’s even the higher-ups you work with. I’ve been there. Can’t tell you where I’ve been there. Doesn’t feel good at all. I have worked many diverse jobs. I do want to say this has been a number of years ago. I want to let everyone know I’m doing fine. I’m great today.??
