Rate My Professor Peter Hartin

Hartin's PhD thesis, Bullying in nursing: trapped in history (James Cook University, 2021), analyzed the persistence and evolution of bullying in Australian nursing over four decades, revealing how contributing factors shifted with context and time. Key publications include Bullying in nursing: how has it changed over 4 decades? (Journal of Nursing Management, 2020, co-authored with Melanie Birks and David Lindsay), Bullying in nursing: is it in the eye of the beholder? (Policy, Politics, & Nursing Practice, 2019, with Birks and Lindsay), Bullying and the nursing profession in Australia: an integrative review of the literature (Collegian, 2018, with Birks and Lindsay), The prevalence of incivility in hospitals and the effects of incivility on patient safety culture and outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis (2025, with Benjamin Freedman et al.), and Advocating for patient safety: power dynamics in nurse advocacy practice in Australia—an integrative review (Collegian, 2025, with Alan Ramsay et al.). He has presented on bullying at national nursing forums (2017, 2018, 2021) and contributed to discussions on teaching innovations, such as eportfolios (2016) and debates in nurse education (2017). In 2015, Hartin received a Citation for Outstanding Contributions to Student Learning for inspiring multi-campus regional and remote nursing students in the capstone course to learn, connect, and succeed. His research interests include undergraduate nursing education, teaching innovation, and workplace culture. Hartin supervises doctoral students, including on advocacy in nursing, and leads projects on enhancing students’ digital capabilities for clinical practice, assessment feedback preferences, and mental health wellbeing among undergraduate nursing students.
