Nurses General Nursing

Published

Anyone read the article in the November issue of the Self magazine about the state of nursing. What were the general thoughts about it how it portrayed nursing and the whistleblowing that it did? Just curious what everyone else thought about it.

How in the H*ll did I miss this one??? Holy cow fiesty seems that you've been very busy! You go get em girl, you certainly got what it takes! I'm very sorry you lost your job over this...for speaking the truth...ONLY IN AMERICA!

You have my support and yes, give yourself that pat on the back...

Here's a few from me {{{*pat*pat*pat*}}} Heck, I'll even give you a great BIG {{{HUG}}}! I am very proud to be able to converse with the Lady who changed the direction of the nursing profession.

All I can really say now is "thank you, THANK YOU, THANK YOU !

**********

Feisty: Don't give that unsupportive nurse another thought. It's that same complacency that makes it so difficult for nurses to effect changes. Those of us who support your cause will probably never be able to comprehend how that kind of mind works. You know by now that you have a lot of support out here. Keep your eyes on the door of opportunity that opened when you were barred from that hospital. The Universe probably felt your talents weren't available to a large enough population. Painful as it is, from my perspective it appears as a compliment. Somebody views you as having some kind of power. Too bad they are too ignorant to utilize your talent instead of trying to destroy you. It's their loss.

Feisty,

I wish I could have read the article. I am sure that what you said was very honest and directly to the point.

I am very proud of you and wish this profession had 1,000,000 like you in it. You have shown what real courage and conviction is all about. You are a personal hero to me.

So not let this nurse that you use to work with get to you. I have a feeling that right about now she is eating the very words she put on paper. What ever her ulterior motive was for this, it will come back to bite her in the butt with time.

Because of what you have done, maybe you will inspire another nurse or two to stand up and speak out.

No matter how this has affected you in other ways, please know that you have gained the admiration of many nurses.

Fiestynurse my prayers are with you.....thanks.

I found your Self (NOV) article at the library and photocopied it for others to read. Everyone check your local library, they should keep back issues.
