Concerned Nurses Group

Nurses Safety

Published

Hi Everyone,

This past week I have had two family members ask me what I am doing in this group.(My wife and mother). They asked me what such a small group of people can do to change the system. Well, I started to think that you might be experiencing the same kind of feed back. With that stated, let me tell you what I answered.

I started with a history lesson that explained the beginnings of the AFL-CIO. It didn't work to well. I was reminded of what happened to Jimmy Hoffa. So I tried to explain it another way. (God, I'm going to date myself again) I'm a singer as well as a nurse and one of my favorite performers is Barry Manilow. His song, "One Voice" says it all.

Just one voice, singing in the darkness

All it takes is one voice

Singing so they hear what's on your mind

And when you look around you'll find

There's more than one voice

Singing in the darkness

Joining with your one voice

Each and every note another octave

Hands are joined and fears unlocked

If only one voice

Would start out on its own

We need just one voice facing the unknown

And then that one voice would never be alone

It takes that one voice.

It takes that one voice

Just one voice singing out in the darkness

All it takes is one voice

Shout it out and let it ring

Just one voice It takes that one voice

And everyone will sing

We are small but determined. For ourselves, our families and our patients, join us. We started as one voice and we are getting louder. Let us set the example and be that one voice singing in the darkness. Soon others will add their voices, to unlock our fears, show us that we are not alone, and to add light to that darkness. Join us at Hospitalhub.com.

With Love, Hope and Faith in God,
