It was conducted to determine the status of nurses' exposure to mobbing situations. It was conducted on the nurses who work five hospitals in Ankara. Out of the 953 questionnaires which was distributed, 755 were returned. However the data analysis was based on total of 689 surveys. In order to measure the levels of nurses’ exposure to mobbing LIPT developed by Leymann was used. It conducted between November 2012 March 2013 indicate that nurses are mostly exposed to mobbing situations on the communication dimension. The findings further reveal that 68.5% of the nurses are exposed to mobbing generated by their managers. Moreover, while the state of nurses subjected to mobbing shows significant differences regarding working departments, total working hours and whether they are in a management position (p <0.05),no significant difference is observed considering the hospital type they are working with, their education level and their working way (p > 0.05). These findings will provide important clues in determining the areas in which the nurses are exposed to mobbing and the measures that should be taken in terms of administration
