    TsunamiKim replied to Keysnurse2008's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    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...

  4. 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...

  5. 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...

  6. Retaliation for voicing concern over unsafe pratices

    TsunamiKim replied to Keysnurse2008's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    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...

    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...

  8. 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...

  9. 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...

  10. Let's call Oprah

    TsunamiKim replied to cinja's topic in General Nursing

    too late to write much now and i will be off line tomorrow. moveon.org use the e-mail your representative tactic i mentioned earlier; we should contact them for tactical help on how to do this. also...

  11. Let's call Oprah

    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...

  12. 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...

  13. 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...

  14. Break anyone??????????????????????

    TsunamiKim replied to nursesue71's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  15. Retaliation for voicing concern over unsafe pratices

    TsunamiKim replied to Keysnurse2008's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    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...

    TsunamiKim posted a topic in Activism, Healthcare

    A COPY OF THIS CONSTITUENT OPINION WAS SENT TO BOTH OF THE MARYLAND SENATORS AND TO CONGRESSMAN CUMMINGS BACK IN MID 2001. DESPITE FOLLOW UP CALLS TO THESE REPRESENTATIVES THERE HAS BEEN VERY LITTLE...

  17. Constituent Opinion on Patient Advocate Hospital Staff "Gagged" by "At Will Firing."

    TsunamiKim replied to TsunamiKim's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    In providing a better understanding of the mentality behind my submission to Senators and my Congressman on "At Will Firing" I should perhaps elaborate on my own background. I am very well traveled...

    TsunamiKim replied to TsunamiKim's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I appreciate your opinion on this. In hindsight it is now a lot clearer for me to understand, however this was written quite some time ago. I posted my "Citizens Opinion" here exactly as it was...

  21. Re: Blowing The Whistle On Deliberate Understaffing & Toxic Managerial Practices

    TsunamiKim replied to TsunamiKim's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    The real shocker is that not only do JCAHO not do spontaneous inspection visits as yet, but that when you contact them and report that your Hospital is an ongoing flagrant violator of the regulations...

  22. Re: Blowing The Whistle On Deliberate Understaffing & Toxic Managerial Practices

    TsunamiKim replied to TsunamiKim's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    TNNURSE, JCAHO were an easy con: my Hospital conned them every time they paid us a visit. The OR at my former Hospital was completely transformed for JCAHO's meticulously choreographed scheduled...

    TsunamiKim replied to TsunamiKim's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    TNNURSE, To answer your question, Well actually the very existence of a Compliance Line brings with it the assumption of Compliance, just as "Risk Management" implies a conscious...

  25. Retaliation for voicing concern over unsafe pratices

    TsunamiKim replied to Keysnurse2008's topic in Activism, Healthcare
