Gwenn Dalton, RN, CEO/Educator: What Attracted You To The Field of Nursing? @HospiceHeroes #Nurseup #Hospice

Gwenn Dalton, RN, CEO/Educator: What Attracted You To The Field of Nursing?

In 1986 I attended nursing school as a way to support my 2 little boys following a divorce. Many years ago I was called to hospice and found out that I had an ability to connect with people that was very fulfilling and actually made a difference.

Well, I began to see this ability as a gift that I was given to help others. So, early in my hospice career I knew that I had a duty to bring comfort and care to those dealing with the end of life.

Every day, I am thankful that I have the honor and privilege of caring for the dying."

    Texas Senate panel advances bill to protect nurses | AP Texas News | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle

    A Texas Senate committee approved legislation Tuesday aimed at strengthening protection for nurses who report abuse by doctors.

    The bill filed by state Sen. Jane Nelson, R-Flower Mound, protects nurses from being fired, discriminated against or punished. Nurses would be immune from criminal prosecution under the bill.

    The bill now goes to the full Senate. If enacted, doctors would be fined up to $25,000 if convicted of retaliation.

    Lawmakers saw a need for a more stringent law after two West Texas nurses were fired and criminally charged after reporting a doctor for allegedly practicing bad medicine.

    The charges were dropped against Winkler County nurse Vicki Galle, but Anne Mitchell was prosecuted for "misuse of official information" and threatened with 10 years in prison.

    Galle and Mitchell anonymously filed their complaint against Dr. Rolando Arafiles with the Texas Medical Board in 2009. But with help from the sheriff, Arafiles found out who the nurses were.

    Despite Mitchell's acquittal, the case stirred outrage from medical communities nationwide. Nursing advocates want to ensure nurses can report malpractice without fear of retaliation.

    "Patients are best served when nurses can advocate on their behalf," Nelson said. "The case of the Winkler County nurses highlighted the need for additional protection for nurses."

    Mitchell said the decision to report Arafiles was carefully considered, and one she felt she had to make on behalf of her patients.

    But the price she paid was high. She said her nursing career is over, her income has been cut in half and she continues to endure the effects of being labeled a whistleblower.

    "That label basically reads 'don't hire me'," she said. "Nurses are frequently the last safety net for patients. If our voices are stifled, our patients will suffer. My hope is that the passage of this bill will prevent other nurses from having to go through what we went through."

    Texas: No more mandatory overtime for nurses

    Sept 2, 2009, Texas:"No more mandatory overtime for nurses:"Hospitals in Texas can no longer require registered nurses and licensed vocational nurses to work mandatory overtime. The law, which went into effect Tuesday, makes Texas the 15th state to prohibit the practice of forcing nurses to work longer than their scheduled shifts. “It's very, very important for patient safety,” said Fernando Losada, state director of the National Nurses Organizing Committee Texas in Austin. The group is part of the California Nurses Association, a union which lobbied legislators for the law." http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/business/sixel/6600043.html
