I am perhaps not militant. I'm not a heart, I donat grasp every cause du jour, nor do I go on what someone termed a vehicle of supportersa for whatever happens to perform over the blogosphere on certain time. As you'll find in this world I'm as straight-arrow, by-the-book, trust-the-Establishment. When I say when I say that I'd decide to try the roads about something that's happenedawhen I say that I'm questioning anything I thought I knew about power that I'm reeling;, poweraand nursinga Iam perhaps not bluffing, over-reacting or being hysterical. Excuse my unprofessional language, but there's some bad s*** heading down in Arizona. ********** The Arizona Board of Nursing has gone from ridiculous to abusive in the Amanda Trujillo case. It wasnat bad enough that they thought clicking a field on some type of computer that might order an incident management hospice consult must mean enduring: (a) a detailed interrogation about every facet of your entire career, (b) or that speaking about your position should result in a psychiatric assessment, including acquiring signed releases from your entire doctors going back six years and seeing a panel appointed PhD. Yes, pressing that package meant giving up protected HIPAA data to all! I canat replicate that enough, itas that dreadful. But thatas old media, isnat it? Hereas the brand new stuff. ******** A letter was received by amanda from her university declaring they certainly were educated by the AZBoN that her license was under study. However, old information, you say? But wait! A Board staff member wrote a letter questioning it! At Amandaas demand to keep the name of her university out from the focus, Iave perhaps not listed it here. I've seen: (a the letter from her college stating they were anotified by the AZ Board of Nursing that your license is under investigationa (thatas a primary offer, italics mine.) Not that they looked it up, not that they deduced, but that they were notified. (b) Iave seen the BoN letter requesting proof of her presence and, (d) Iave noticed the BoN letter from a staff member who aanot aware and is declines reporting it of any other Board staff member performing so.a (Italics mine.) Usually are not the hell did? Amandaas school was informed by some one at the Board. A request for confirmation of presence is not a notification that a is aunder investigation.a Nowhere on the letter for confirmation does it say or personal that the license is aunder investigation.a But it gets bettera ******** Amanda is now being charged with applying false aacademic credentialsa! Yeah, this is what you do when (a) the initial costs arenat legitimate, (b) youare angry that somebody had the ovaries to perhaps not forget and stay up for herself, (c) they werenat intimidated by the psychological examination, and (d) you have to ramp up the intimidation factor. And the letters were seen by Iave for this, also. Amanda was accepted in to a different universityas Acute Care Nurse Practitioner doctoral nursing system in nov 2010. She began utilising the designation aSa after the professional designation, to signify aStudenta on the auto sig on her email. Because of surgery that was included by some major health issues, Amanda was struggling to begin this program. In November of 2010, she resigned from her job at the Mountain Vista Infirmary, using her private email. She'd forgotten to just take the aDACNP-Sa off the aMSN, RN, DACNP-Sa of her private mail vehicle sig. ******** So that they are investigating this, per the Nurse Practice Act, for deceiving, hurting or defrauding the public and/or expressing or inferring she was a practitioner through the usage of the initials. Boy, I really hope all of the public damaged by those six initials on her personal e-mail sought help. The Board found this terrible, egregious activity of professional malfeasance throughout their acutely detailed study of Amandaas career. For the history, the Arizona Board uses an average of 7 weeks investigating the average criticism, which hours are averaged 17 by them (see this open letter to Arizonaas governor, by RN Greg Mercer.) They should really be gunning for something here. If they had something on the initial problem, this might have already been over well before now. What the hell is certainly going on? ******** And letas remember what brought this all on. Patient education and a recommendation for an incident management hospital consult. No harm. No death. No tort. An informed patient. A change of heart. A fuming physician. And the nursing administration at Banner Del E. Webb Clinic, who feels that patient advocacy is something to be reported and tried to the Arizona Board of Nursing. And obviously the Arizona Board of Nursing doesnat simply take kindly to being questioned and operating out on view. Meanwhile, the American Nurses Association is amonitoring closelya and the Arizona Nurses Association is working hard for the nurses of Arizona, but canat help someone nurse who's under investigation. ******** Iam not here telling anybody they should support Amanda. Whether you are for her or against her or couldnat care less one way or another, so be it. It is a damn frightening story. What's scarier to me is the proven fact that Amanda must have closed up, kept her head down and just tried to get another job. Is that what nursing is approximately? Are we so whipped by needing our paychecks that we donat dare speak out about something, anywhere, anytime? The nurses in Texas talked out and there clearly was support from all around the country. Does a nurse must be charged before anybody cares? ********* Something bad is happening in Arizona. From the places of Banner Health, to the inner workings of the Arizona Board of Nursing, something is wrong. You are able to dismiss it, vilify Amanda, write her down as aoh there must be anything elsea, or make fun of those people who do support her, nevertheless the fact is this isn't right. If Iam wrong, then Iam wrong and Iall function as the first to publish it. Iam maybe not wrong. When Nurses Strike At the Greatest Levels: A Obvious Abuse of Power
