Introduction: Nursing is one of the most vital roles in the healthcare system, providing crucial care to patients at the frontline of the healthcare system. While nursing is a noble profession, it is also a profession that is fraught with various challenges, including workplace violence. Over the years, incidents of workplace violence have been on the rise, and the nursing profession has not been immune to this trend. Reports suggest that nurses are at a higher risk of experiencing workplace violence than any other healthcare professional group. In this paper, we aim to explore the issue of workplace violence against nurses from the perspective of social conflict theory. Forms of Violence: Workplace violence against nurses takes various forms, including physical, verbal, and psychological violence. Physical violence involves intentional physical harm to the nurse, such as being hit, kicked, or punched by a patient, family members, or colleagues. Verbal violence is an act of using threatening or abusive language towards the nurse. It includes shouting, cursing, and making derogatory comments about the nurse. Psychological violence involves acts of intimidation, humiliation, or social isolation, which can affect the nurses self-esteem and mental health. Ca
