The letter centers around a recent study published in the Malaysian Journal of Nursing, titled "Workplace bullying among nurses in Singapore: A quantitative survey,” which sheds light on nurses' experiences regarding workplace bullying. The study deserves praise for its insightful look at nurse workplace bullying. This study calls for serious reflection because it undermines our caring professionals. This study also shows that nursing leaders can improve the workplace. What can nurse leaders do to help? This commentary will focus on two salient strategies that could assist nurse leaders in mitigating bullying: having the knowledge, skills, and confidence to identify bullying and prioritizing targeted support.
