I am a Registered Nurse and I lost my last job for speaking out against the management where I worked because of what I considered negligence in the nursing home on the part of certain employees. They tried to trump up charges against me and eventually told me they were going to terminate me. So I ended up quittng. Medical facilities are so short of help that they will settle for anything, even incompetent nursing staff, and to keep them, they will lie for them and tolerate almost anything in the work place.

If you want your job in a nursing home, and even some of the better hospitals I have worked in, you will keep your mouth shut and look the other way.

I cannot live with my conscience under these circumstances so I have left the profession altogether.
