<br/><br/> This research study aimed to investigate stories and expressions among student- nurses on bullying in clinical setting.   Findings revealed that the student nurses were verbally, nonverbally, and physically bullied while doing their duties done by some of individuals in clinical setting. The feelings of isolation and alienation, enduring negative emotional and psychological effects, and having negative thoughts were the consequences of experienced misbehaviors.  The approaches to bullying-situations utilized by student nurses within a clinical setting are disclosing the bullying experiences, communication/confrontation, and consider dropping and/or leaving the training program. They manage bullying experiences by employing their skills in coping which are important in dealing with any social problem in school and clinical setting and by ignoring the behavior, enduring and surviving it.  It was also found that bullying among student nurses is upshot of face-to-face interactions between members of diverse groups in the clinical setting. Despite difference, members still perform duties, show respect and value social responsibility.  The evidences of bullying among student nurses allows the educational institution and the clinical setting/hospital to create interventions and other measures to deal with the misbehaviors and an opportunity to review the nursing curriculum and design educational offerings to nursing students about dealing with bullying and other emotional and social problems.  In the light of the foregoing findings, it was recommended that hospital management should include in the orientation of student nurses the hospitals' code of conduct which defined how the hospital employees and student nurses inappropriate treat and relate with each other. Also, as part of the orientation process, the educational institution and the hospital management should explain and discuss to student nurses how they cope to bullying and other abuses. Encourage the student nurses to speak and report cases and experiences of bullying in the clinical setting following the hospital's protocol. Hospital management and the educational institution should implement and utilize the best practices designed towards improving the relationships between members of the health care team and educational institution. Lastly, professional development training on organizational policy, section on harassment, discrimination, violence and bullying should be part of the nursing program and should be adequately received by the students.
