Hi there, I need help with this discussion; I need proofreading, help with better sentences and wording, and to express myself understandably. It also needs to be in the APA 7th edition, and I am struggling with it. Thank you so much!

What are the results of your Work Environment Assessment? Based on the results, how civil is your workplace? Explain why your workplace is or is not civil. Then, describe a situation where you have experienced incivility in the workplace. How was this addressed? Be specific and provide examples.

My answer:

Based on the Work Environment Assessment results, our workplace is mildly healthy. The score was 72. My workplace is very civil; we respect each other, the communication between co-workers is good, and there are meetings with the managers and CEO where we, as employees, can express ourselves. However, of course, there are discordances as well, where a co-worker complains about others, but they usually end up getting along, and the co-worker gets upset; the other issue is that pay is not competitive, so employees are not very ha; py with the pay, so when they get overload they cannot handle, and most times there is a big rotation. In my workplace, there is much room for growth. Besides the pay, I'm pleased with my work environment. In my environment, we work as a team; there are several types of professionals: nurses, therapists, doctors, and social workers. By being considered mildly healthy, we are pretty good because, according to (Marshall & Broome, 2021)," It is an impressive challenge for such highly trained professionals to move out of the comfort and habit of their specific occupations to work together(p.162)."

In my own experience, I have encountered incivility in a place where I worked before, and I am in this mildly healthy environment now. I worked in a very toxic environment when I graduated from university. I had a manager who was very sick. I am a very passive and loyal worker, so I would go above and beyond, and she did not like me; I don't know why. The other coworker never said good morning in almost a year, working side by side; it was a very toxic place."According to the Marshall & Broome, 2021): "Along the leadership journey to build and sustain a culture of excellence, one of the most important tasks is the creation of a safe environment. where all people can thrive (p.242)."

I worked there for nearly a year because it was my 1st job. I needed to work to help my husband and care for my 1-year-old baby, I like to be a nurse and care for patients, and I wanted to be there. One time, I came to the nurse station, and I got her talking about me to the other nurse for no reason; I guess she didn't like me. I was just behind them, and then they looked at me and did not say a thing, I was in shock. I spoke to the charge nurse, but she said she was the manager and there was not much I could do. Instead of reaching the CEO, I left for a job offered to me, and I'm staying until today. She was so unprofessional. She made me feel marginalized and disrespected. I was so under stress. I left that toxic place. According to McDermott et al: "In addition to the challenges faced by NLRNs during their professional role transition, workplace incivility experiences may prompt NLRNs to seek another position or leave the profession altogether (2021)."
