• Description:
  Nursing students exposed to bullying behaviors are at risk for making medication errors. For a quasi-experimental study, 15 prelicensure nursing students at a Midwestern university were exposed to simulated bullying behaviors or common distractions while administering medications in a laboratory setting. Data were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis tests. There was no significant difference in medication administration rubric score ( H 2 = 1.489, p = .475) or time spent in room ( H 2 = 1.778, p = .411) between groups. Bullying behaviors and other interruptions distracted nursing students from successfully completing the medication administration simulation.
