The demographic variables of sex, age, ethnic/racial background, and parental level of education impacted only a few of the uncivil behaviors for the nursing programs. The study results indicated that incivility occurs in nursing academia and there are differences between nursing training programs. Further research is needed to investigate the differences in incivility between nursing training programs and to address strategies to manage those uncivil behaviors....
