Re Amanda Trujillo: Open Letter to The Honorable Janice K. Brewer, Arizona Governor
1 VotePlease learn more about the important ongoing case of RN Amanda Trujillo, a conscientious Nurse who has been punished strikingly severely for providing routine patient education that inconvenienced and angered a physician who demanded her job and her license. Her State BON has still not decided her case after a year, and she remains an unemployed single mother.
For a fine summary of the known facts, see ” thenerdynurse.com/2012/01/arizona-nurse-has-license-threatened-by-doctor-after-providing-patient-education.html ” If, as I and many others have after much research and reflection, you find her cause worthy and just, please participate in our advocacy campaign. It requires little commitment, cost, or effort:

As part of this effort, I have respectfully submitted the following by e-mail and the preferable snail mail:
“The Honorable Janice K. Brewer, Arizona Governor…
Governor Brewer,
As a concerned citizen and Nurse, I wish to make you aware of a matter that troubles me, and increasingly, many others.
Roughly one year ago, Banner Del E. Webb Medical Center in Arizona terminated RN Amanda Trujillo from her Nursing position there. The case has been researched and described in detail by many Nursing bloggers: for an example, see http://thenerdynurse.com/2012/01/arizona-nurse-has-license-threatened-by-doctor-after-providing-patient-education.html There are too many other examples to list here in the time I have available, and countless new mentions arise daily – I have been unable to take them all in myself despite some significant effort – on various Social Media fora. The circumstances leading to this action have led many to suspect that her rights may not have been respected in this matter, that her termination was a disproportionate and unjust response to proper and professionally required patient education that reportedly inconvenienced and cost potential revenue to a staff physician who was witnessed having a tantrum in open hospital areas, leading to a demand that she lose her job and license to practice.
