The issue of lateral violence, or nurse-on-nurse violence, is a major factor in why new nurses leave the nursing profession within the first two years of professional practice. There is considerable research into mitigating factors, why nurses leave, and programs to address lateral violence, however, little to no research has been conducted on why nurses choose to remain in the profession despite their experiences. This lack of research necessitates the need for further study into the lived experiences of new nurses with lateral violence and their decision to remain in the profession. This qualitative descriptive phenomenological study helps to address this need. One-on-one interviews with nine recent graduates of pre-licensure baccalaureate programs who had experienced lateral violence and had chosen to remain in the nursing profession were conducted. Data were collected through in-depth, semi-structured interviews, which were audio-taped and transcribed verbatim. Manual data analysis was conducted to reveal the essence of the lived experience of these nurses. Six major themes emerged from the data: the patients, needed the experience, I got counseling, there was an end, I cried, and nothing changed. These themes are discussed and defined by the words of those interviewed. Recommendations for nursing education, transition of new nurses to independent professional practice, and for management are provided, including the need to implement and enforce strict zero-tolerance policies and provide more resources to aid newly graduated nurses into professional practice to improve retention and patient care.
