In our combined 90+ years in nursing we have published over 700 papers. Nothing, however, evoked responses like “Academic nursing's killer elite'’ (Thompson & Darbyshire, 2013). To say that we ‘touched a nerve’ is an understatement, but we understated the malignant narcissist, corporate psychopath, dimensions of the 'killer elite' and extend that discussion now. We received then and continue to receive, harrowing ‘testimonies’ (Hartin et al., 2020) from nurses describing, not linguistically sanitised ‘incivility’, but sustained bullying, gaslighting and corrosive narcissism by some senior academics who made their lives intolerable.

Nursing and nursing education face a paradox whereby the world's most trusted profession seems not to trust its own students and practitioners. Much of nursing education has adopted what has been memorably described as the 'cop shit' approach. This is the panoply of surveillance, anti-plagiarism and proctoring technologies that appear to be used more for policing and punishment of an inherently dishonest student body than to develop ethical and scholarly writing among future peers and colleagues. Nurses in practice may experience similar levels of distrust as they face growing micromanagement and control of both their appearance and nursing practice. We propose that these practices of distrust emerge, not from malice, but rather from the omnipresent neoliberalism and managerialism that engulf almost every aspect of health and university life. Neoliberalism's success has been to reformat academia and practice to the point where such ingrained mistrust has become merely a neutral recognition of 'the real world'. Dismantling nursing and education's 'cop shit' culture and replacing it with the trust and respect that the world's most trusted profession is accorded by wider society will not be easy, but it is vital for the future of nursing.

Nurses worldwide have been rightly lauded for their tireless contributions during the global Covid‐19 pandemic. Amid a serious global shortage, nursing remains plagued by recruitment and retention problems as it struggles to attract, educate and retain the best potential nurses who reflect the diverse composition of their communities.

How has a well‐meaning attempt to simplify the capture of safety incidents become an “I’ll Datix you” joke? Electronic Incident Reporting Systems (EIRS) are used in health services worldwide. Datix is used by over 900 organisations in 19 countries. After the horrors of the UK Francis Report, Gosport and other health system failures, services desperately needed an alternative to cumbersome, infrequently used, paper reporting.
... We are all "very committed" to reconciliation, anti-racism, equity, etc., but change has been slow (Usher, 2021). Darbyshire (2022) highlights this context with brilliant sarcasm, "Great care must be employed to ensure that steps taken towards ending racism do not weaken any other longestablished systems, processes or structures that the health and university sectors rely upon so heavily" (p. 1). Unfortunately, the visible and invisible colonial policies and "settler common sense" (Rifkin, 2013) under which many academics operate are some of the main reasons why inequity occurs and continues to exist. ...

... Cyber criminals search for journals that are indexed in citation databases (mainly WoS and Scopus), with websites that are not popular, and create a second fake website for such journals (Dadkhah et al., in review). They claim the original website of the legitimate journal by copying the exact ISSN and name of the journal (Dadkhah et al., 2021(Dadkhah et al., , 2022Jalalian & Dadkhah, 2015). Such journals hurt researchers who believe they are publishing in legitimate journals, waste research funding, disseminate fake science often with errors (since there is no peer review), and have a negative impact on countries' and universities' scientific rank (Dadkhah & Maliszewski, 2015;Jalalian, 2014;Jalalian & Dadkhah, 2015;Memon, 2019). ...

... The focus of these dominant conversations was frequently tangential to the scope of the workshop, instead focusing on issues related to professional groups. These troublesome assertions remained implicit during the workshop and caused us to wonder whether there is a growing need in IP-SBE to explicitly name this disruptive dynamic, as suggested by Darbyshire and Thompson (2022) . ...

... Instead, as portrayed in the interactive video vignettes, our aim was to unpack, or at least highlight, the organizational factors that contribute to bullying acts. Examples include hierarchy-oriented organizational cultures of practice (An & Kang, 2016;Choi & Park, 2019), normalization or legitimization of bullying (Hartin et al., 2020;Hutchinson & Jackson, 2015;Jackson et al., 2011) and/or heavy workloads, stressful working environments (Jenkins et al., 2012), and a focus on neo-liberalism (Darbyshire & Thompson, 2021;Goodman, 2014;Grant, 2014;Osman & Hornsby, 2017;Snee et al., 2021). This is not to say that engagers do not hold responsibility and accountability-they do-but it is crucial for bullying to be addressed across levels from individuals through to sociopolitical levels. ...

... IS is a debilitating experience for Black novice nurses. The drive to be the "ideal' is often tainted with noticeable differences such as my hair, skin, and accent, which resulted in me internalizing the microaggression from colleagues and patients that I was a fraud, and did not belong in this ideal, white space (Bell, 2021;Cox et al., 2021). IS has been associated with anxiety and self-blame, and each of these played out in my experience within the classroom, and later in the workplace. ...

... Traditionally, investigatory measures within healthcare organisations have often been met with suspicion by staff and can be perceived as punitive exercises, essentially looking for someone to blame, rather than learning from an event and preventing recurrence (Maxton et al, 2021). Midwives and nurses constitute the largest health professional group within the NHS, providing direct care to patients (Rolewicz and Palmer, 2020) which meant that, due to the scope of their roles, they will be associated directly or indirectly with incidents. ...

... While this is demonstrated in images depicting dark-skinned nurses from the AI generator, what the image does not show is that internationally trained staff often experience high levels of discrimination and racism from colleagues, families and older people based on their skin colour and accent (Adebayo et al., 2023). Implicit racial bias is embedded into the workforce culture, in offering ethnic workers less favourable working conditions, less renumeration, or assuming the worker is less qualified, less skilled or less capable (Sheehy et al., 2024 (Darbyshire & Dwyer, 2021). ...

... The temptation and acknowledgment of the problem for early career scientists seem to be well known because many authors advised younger, inexperienced scientists on how to recognize and avoid PJs (Deora et al. 2021;Gurnani and Kaur 2022;Masic 2021;McCann and Polacsek 2018). A possible prevention strategy could be that early-career academics should not assume doctoral supervision on their own if they do not have proper experience and expertise in publishing (Darbyshire et al. 2020). ...

The key hypothesis of this study is supported by several studies describing the essential role of nursing workforce in fighting COVID-19 (Al Thobaity & Alshammari, 2020;Gunawan et al., 2021;Ritter et al., 2021;Shu-Ching et al., 2020). Other studies have analyzed the technical and psychosocial skills of nurses describing their contribution to the pandemic (Beisland et al., 2021;Maxton et al., 2020;Ulenaers et al., 2021;Wen et al., 2021). ...
