Each of them eloquently speaks to the heart of what we do as nurses — and why nurses find how Amanda Trujillo was fired and subsequently reported to the Arizona State Board of Nursing so troubling. (Via The Innovative Nurse.)
The first is from Andrew Lopez (Twitter: @nursefriendly.)
Kevin Ross is next (Twitter: @innovativenurse ~ Webpage: Innovative Nurse)
Michael Pergrim (Twitter: @CoachPerg)
Lastly Carol Gino. “The statement nurses eat their young — we’re not doing that. There’s a group of us who are going to stand with her. we’re not going to be powerless any more, because a defenceless defender is not good to anyone.”

I am a #patient and #patient/#nurse advocate. I stand with all nurses on this case.
For the record: I am also a defender of doctors of conscience.

Great work with this blog – maybe some day I can do as well, and I know I’ll try, and follow this one for certain.
I have just begun seeking support for an unusual form of protest, which begins tonight, although Banner won’t begin to notice it for a few days, and we need participants. It is modeled on a past protest that was quite successful, safe, nonthreatening, nonviolent, but rather persuasive – it involved lots of spectacle and press coverage, although none of the participants needed to leave their homes or do very much.
The model for my protest involved a rather small group of loosely associated, often random people organized via simple Social Media to advocate for specific change: it was some TV fans, in fact, upset that CBS cancelled their favorite TV show. With little individual cost or effort, and surprisingly quickly, they created a spectacle large and public enough to convince CBS to reverse itself and resume he show.
Their strength came entirely from NUMBERS, so we need participants, as many as possible. I give background and detailed instruction on grchealthcareblog.com, and have sent the first protest prop on its way to John Harrington, CEO of the Del E. Webb Medical Center as I type.
Please participate: make our voices heard in the real world to help Amanda!
Also, thansk to those who already offered feedback on this thing: please continue to point out errors, alternative ideas, typos etc.
I’ve researched this with some care, but still, editors are always welcome, kind of like Wikipedia
Its the NURSES SEND POWER FOR AMANDA CAMPAIGN!!!
Viva Nurse Power!
