2. Retaliation for voicing concern over unsafe pratices

   TsunamiKim replied to Keysnurse2008's topic in Activism

   Hi TNNURSE, I am glad you are starting to expose the truth, I am still awaiting that opportunity myself. It is so important for the public to find out about the deliberate deceptive practices of both the so called "Risk Management" de...

3. burnout in the OR

   TsunamiKim replied to cindybeth's topic in Operating Room

   In Answer to HRM672’s Questions: Why not send in a relief person? This is a very good question. The strain on the OR’s over-stretched staffing is far greater at night and on weekends as the off-shifts are minimally covered to start with. This is whe...

4. burnout in the OR

   TsunamiKim replied to cindybeth's topic in Operating Room

   Great to read the last post Staceyp413 as this is how it should be, consideration, give and take, but always focusing on what is best for the patients. Keep up the great attitude as we need more like you. Unfortunately, the toxic work environment ...

5. Retaliation for voicing concern over unsafe pratices

   TsunamiKim replied to Keysnurse2008's topic in Activism

   one reason hospitals act so quickly when they sense the slightest whiff of trouble, (as in honest reporting of negligence), is that they are aware of these statutes of limitations while the wronged nurse is all too often unaware. management will stri...

   TsunamiKim replied to cinja's topic in General Nursing

   great example of what i had advised other nurses to do in order to get the word out there. thank you for providing the link. i feel the need to repeat what i had put earlier...... remember: "the pen is mightier than the sword" last, but certainl...

7. Let's call Oprah

   TsunamiKim replied to cinja's topic in General Nursing

   time to send a delegation of nurses directly to oprah’s headquarters while dateline or 60 minutes might be persuaded to do a piece, in reality, it would probably be quite short, perhaps too short to accurately depict the quagmire into which overbur...

8. Let's call Oprah

   TsunamiKim replied to cinja's topic in General Nursing

   this from an earlier post of mine: "we trust nurses to recognize critical trends in their patient’s vital signs, but we deny their instincts with regard to their own basic needs and fitness for duty. this is disrespectful and, all too frequently, do...

    TsunamiKim replied to cinja's topic in General Nursing

    [color=#465663]first let's stop the bickering and infighting as it accomplishes nothing and gets us nowhere fast. we need to "re-brand" the problem: the us does not have a "nursing crisis" the us has a: "nursing exodus" why is this point so...

11. Let's call Oprah

    TsunamiKim replied to cinja's topic in General Nursing

    i would be more than happy to make several trans-atlantic phone calls to grab the attention of the right people in the us media. this is not as expensive as it sounds believe me as i have no spare cash available to me anymore. while i was forced to...

12. Let's call Oprah

    TsunamiKim replied to cinja's topic in General Nursing

    “fight bigotry with excellence” i believe this quote is attributed to oprah. i just read through all the posts and found a lot of negativity when we should be focusing on action. i do not feel the need to discredit oprah’s journalistic credentials ...

    try a liver transplant, 12hours scrubbed into surgery with no break. yep that is 12 hours with no water, no food and no chance to pee! by the way you get used to the not able to scratch your nose thing. as a surgical technologist i was at the merc...

14. Retaliation for voicing concern over unsafe pratices

    TsunamiKim replied to Keysnurse2008's topic in Activism

    I feel bad knowing that you will face another cruel lie tomorrow; the “investigation” is pretty much guaranteed to be just another sham. These futile “going through the motions” exercises accomplish only one goal, DELAY! The fancy titles “Risk Man...

    i just discovered an internet site called health ethics trust (a division of the council for ethical organizations.) i posted the following as an inquiry after joining talk-about-compliance. is it acceptable for a compliance line, that publicly on th...
