"Trading bickering for teamwork".

Full Abstract

Bickering is an unpleasant phenomena found wherever groups of people congregate. Bickering on a health care team such as that found in the nurse department can create a negative environment and poor morale. The nurse manager should take responsibility for action which can deter this type of behavior and should visibly lead the staff to more productive interactions.
