  You may recall that previously I had written about Julie Griffin RN, a cardiovascular ICU nurse (CV ICU) who was working at an HCA Healthcare hospital in Plantation, Florida near Miami.   Ms. Griffin claims she was fired from her position as retaliation for making whistleblower complaints about short staffing at the facility.  She was required to care for 3 […]

Unfortunately, there are some bad nurses who work right alongside the thousands of good nurses. A 29-year-old registered nurse was working in the neonatal intensive care unit of Good Samaritan Hospital in Long Island, New York when a father of one of the infants was filming his infant child through the glass. As he was filming his crying baby, he […]

Polarity is the principle that everything has two poles, good and bad, love and hate, attraction and disconnection, and scarcity and abundance. Everything exists at the same time, so we can see people living in abject poverty in tent communities all over the country.  And then we see the royals and celebrities with massive wealth and abundance.  Both sides are […]

Criminal charges against nurses just keep on coming.  It’s a devastating trend and, in 2020, a nurse and 7 California Highway Patrol officers (CHP) were charged with involuntary manslaughter and assault in the death of a man who had been court ordered to have his blood drawn. I’m not sure why it took so long for this particular case to […]

I love helping nurses to become successful. Have you heard of Stephanee Beggs, R.N.?  Stephanee was in nursing school during the pandemic when the time for her to take the NCLEX neared.  Because she learns a subject better by teaching that subject, she started a TikTok channel. That’s right, Stephanee used the social media platform to provide instruction for the […]

Just like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz waking up in a new land, imagine one day you wake up wanting to be a registered nurse in a new world of health care. As anyone who has read the Frank Baum classic, we know Dorothy sets out to find her way home after a tornado blows the young girl to […]

  Only 5% of board members for America’s healthcare systems are nurses. This is shocking and terrible, given that nurses are the biggest group of professionals working in hospitals. At Palo Pinto General Hospital in Mineral Wells, Texas, near Fort Worth, two of the seven board members are nurses. This is extremely rare. Nurses have so much to offer at […]

I have noted in past reports about the matter of RaDonda Vaught and once again her situation is making news again. You recall that Ms. Vaught was serving as a help a nurse at Vanderbilt University Hospital in Nashville, Tennessee when she was called to give a patient experiencing anxiety about going into an MRI machine a dose of Versed. […]

Another nurse has been “fed to the wolves” by her employer. And now she’s in the cross hairs of the criminal justice system.  Aminata Fofana, RN, pled guilty to a charge of involuntary manslaughter in the death of 72-year-old patient Paul Mallory of Columbus, Ohio.  Mr. Mallory was in a nursing home following several strokes and an aneurysm.  He was […]

  Recently, Katie Duke stated no hospitals have hired her. If you don’t know of Katie, she was on a popular reality TV show called NY Med. She was fired from the hospital where she was working because she posted a picture on social media of a room where the life of a trauma patient had been saved following a […]
