Civility in the Workplace Replies
Response to Tiffany Clark
Hello Clark, your post is increasingly insightful and demonstrates your understanding of how incivility and disruptive practices in the workplace can hinder the provision of quality patient healthcare services. Moreover, I do agree with you that the best action for Masaya’s preceptor is to communicate respectfully with co-workers on the issues raised. According to Holle and Kornusky (2018), nursing leaders have a role to mentor others to reach their full leadership and professional ability and to create a supportive working environment. Therefore, the action of Masaya’s preceptor to address the issue respectfully will help in creating an environment, which supports collaboration among the nurses. In addition, I concur with you that incivility is an issue in the case of Masaya. Incivility describes the act of disrespecting others (Lachman, 2015). Therefore, the act of fixing Masaya on dates with the full knowledge that he is married is disrespectful.

Response to Julia O’Donnell
Hi O’Donnell, I am particularly impressed by your post since it is significantly informative. In this line, I support your position that as Masaya’s preceptor, you would welcome him both to the unit and the country. This move signifies the recognition of the differences in culture between Masaya’s home country and the US. Moreover, this action is in line with the requirement for nursing leaders to create a conducive working environment for nursing practitioners (Holle & Kornusky, 2018). Besides, I also agree with you that the act of rolling eyes from Masaya’s colleagues is an example of incivility.
Furthermore, the act of ignoring Masaya’s home-cooked meal is disrespectful and does not promote a culture of collaboration among the nursing staff members. According to Lachman (2015), nurses ought to uphold a compassionate and caring relationship with co-workers and treat all persons with fairness. This approach enhances job satisfaction and the delivery of quality patient care.
