"Give us back our suffering, we cry to Heaven in our hearts - suffering rather than indifferent-ism for out of nothing comes nothing. But out of suffering may come the cure. Better have pain than paralysis! A hundred struggle and drown in the breakers. But rather, ten times rather, die in the surf, heralding the way to that new world, than idly stand on the shore." ~ Florence Nightingale
Having an elderly relative, my then ninety-four year old mother, admitted into an acute care hospital was traumatic for me because I had to assert her right to have a hip replacement and move the process ahead speedily as she had already spent several days in bed before I could travel to assess the situation. I know first hand what it is like to have a head of a department become hostile because I was braking barriers that had been covertly operating to exclude those who were considered too old for surgery. I in no way believe in allowing abuse toward anyone let alone those we love the most.
Saying that I will also add that studies have shown that when people are put under constant stress they change. That is why inner city high-rise projects in the US which housed large populations of socioeconomically under-served were taken down and more community friendly housing replaced the structures that had caused a violent effect on people living there. Similarly, I believe that those who work in conditions that are "uncivilized," I think is a good term for chronic under-staffing. Two nurses working in the A & E Department he Mid Staffordshire Trust have had their licenses revoked because of "impaired" practice. The charges stemmed from verbal abuse and documenting false times of discharge. www.theguardian.com Dr. Hugo Mascie-Taylor, lead investigator (2009) where 1200 died, reported that conditions were simply too small to provide the adequate level of clinical care to patients. I don't like the comparison of human behaviors to those of rats, but studies consistently have shown when cramped together they become aggressive and nurses who have to study psychology understand this. In light of the horrific circumstances and nature of the charges I wonder whether a disciplinary action would suffice instead of revoking a license and ability to earn a living? www.thebirminghampost.co.uk
For US nurses who need to research for a license lawyer try this web site http://www.findlaw.com The offer a pre-paid legal plan (if it's not too late for that) http://www.prepaidlegal.legalstreet.com I recommend that you refer the contact person from the board to your lawyer and only speak to them with a lawyer present. Just like the police, whatever you say can be used against you and I want you to be cognizant of every word you say and protect yourself.
Nurses who are not able to use their license:
Success is one thing you can't pay for. You buy it on the installment plan and make payments." ~ Zig Ziglar
If your are a nurse who was caught up in the dysfunction milieu at the Mid Staffordshire Trust or wherever else it was that you practiced, take time to heal. Go to a therapist and talk about your trauma as it relates to adjusting to the present and how it felt for you in an unhealthy work environment. We go through different stages of healing and depending on your life stress you may take more or less time than you thought. Keep with the therapeutic support and consider your options to earning money.
"Money is important" my friend Jimmy Ezzell said to me during the time I was unable to earn. I kept thinking that I would be able to get back to work as a nurse, but that never happened and in retrospect I think it's far wiser to get on with life, the quicker the better, and that is what I would advise you to do if you are a nurse who is under investigation or discipline. Maybe you have had a license revoked and have no alternative but to seek other avenues for money.
As I always emphasize, think positive thoughts.
My sister bless her heart has the midas touch when it comes to manifesting money! She always was very careful with things. I can remember when eating an ice cream cone outside our flat in Nairobi mine was gone in an instant it seemed and she was licking hers for what seemed an eternity in front of my eyes! She introduced me to the idea of tapping for wealth and I have worked on this myself following the instruction given by Margaret Lynch. I definitely feel an energy shift when I use this techniques and wish you all abundance through it. Of course you have to have a plan for how you will generate wealth as well.
Depending on how you feel about helping others. If you are burned out by the whole ordeal and don't feel that you have the energy to give out to others choose a business that will not involve direct public contact. That's common sense and you will find the answer for yourself as you contemplate and go within. That is why I always recommend meditation daily. There are straightforward instructions available at www.TonySamara.org
If you are inclined to reach out and help others which is basic to nurses nature that I know, then consider a career as a life coach. http://www.coachfederation.org The International Coach Federation provides courses and certification. Start now!
Money does matter (put that in your mind, and let it enter your heart. Say it over and over lovingly) http://www.SYDAFoundation.org I enjoyed many years of meditation and spiritual practices and can recommend some of the chants for evoking wealth that you will learn. As I have mentioned, my own spiritual development has helped me tremendously and I recommend that you follow a path that suits you. This is actually what this life is for and sometimes when we are in our most distressed moments we realize that we need a power greater than we are and look for help with inner healing. At least that is where I first started and had no notion of the loftier goals of enlightenment which is what these Masters come into the world to help us achieve. Start where you are and keep going even if it feels like hell it will become like heaven in the end because your inner perspective will change.
The girl who loves to teach others how to make and grow money is Suse Orman http://www.suzeorman.com In case she isn't as well know in the UK as she is in the US I will introduce her as the "Money wisdom coach" or "Wealth Guru." Learn to think about money and explore your potential avenues for earning wealth. Don't spend too much down time holding onto your past career in nursing. Let it go even during the process and focus on a positive future. Yesterday, for instance, I met a lady who owns her own ladies accessories store which she had started initially on a part time basis. She had left the health care field due to an injury and went to work at a bank. A supervisor made a comment to her that she should leave which made her feel angry, but it seems to also have been a catalyst for making her think about what her options were. She put her sons to work between school and college and then went to work for herself full time. Her colleagues, and the boss who had told her to look for another job in the meantime had been made redundant and had to look for employment elsewhere and hope that they could cover house payments etc. That's a woman who has the ability to be receptive and listen to her inner guide.
I have not read feedback about the response or other legal aspects of this service but in case you decide that you want to start a business, and that's what I encourage nursers to do because you will earn more money for yourself than you will through another person, you will need capital. Indiegogo is a global funding platform for entrepreneurs http://www.indiegogo.com
Always remember MONEY IS IMPORTANT and don't let this experience rob you of your right for an abundant life!
Sending positive thoughts your way and wishing you abundance, peace and happiness. Learn the secrets of the spiritual mystical approach to living that will rid you of the emotional reactions that we naturally engage in such as anger. Start where you are, read what the Master's teach, meditate daily, journal, and eat a vegetarian diet.
With warm wishes, Rita.
