When Nurse Whistleblowers Then File Retaliation Claims
Have you ever felt like your job might be on the line for doing the right thing? Our guests today are two nurses who were fired for advocating for patient safety. Hear about how they fight back against a facility with a track record of systemic retaliation, and their advice on how to stay safe as a professional in healthcare and how to learn more on navigating a whistleblower situation in the future.
Sarah encourages fellow nurses to keep speaking up, continue to support each other when other speak up about safety and patient care, and look into unionization if your facility is not already unionized.
