When Nurses Attack At the Highest Levels: A Blatant Abuse of Power
I am not a conspiracy theorist.
I am not militant.
I am not a bleeding heart, I don’t embrace every cause du jour, nor do I hop on what someone termed a “clown car of supporters” for whatever happens to run across the blogosphere on a given day.
I am as straight-arrow, by-the-book, trust-the-Establishment as you will find in this world.
So when I say that I am reeling; when I say that I would take to the streets about something that has happened…when I say that I am questioning everything I thought I knew about authority, power…and nursing…
I’m not bluffing, over-reacting or being hysterical.
Pardon my unprofessional language, but there is some bad s*** going down in Arizona.
**********
The Arizona Board of Nursing has gone from ridiculous to abusive in the Amanda Trujillo case.
It wasn’t bad enough that they felt clicking a box on a computer that would order a case management hospice consult should mean enduring:
(a) a detailed interrogation about every facet of your entire career,
(b) or that talking about your situation should lead to a psychiatric evaluation, including obtaining signed releases from all your physicians for the last six years and seeing a board appointed PhD. Yep, clicking that box meant giving up all your protected HIPAA information! I can’t repeat that enough, it’s that appalling.
But that’s old news, isn’t it?
Here’s the new stuff.
********
Amanda received a letter from her university stating they were informed by the AZBoN that her license was under investigation.
Still, old news, you say? But wait!
A Board staff member wrote a letter denying it!

Thank you Kim, for calling attention to Amanda's situation.
