http://intellihub.com/20-tips-soldiering-economic-meltdown/ Only a nurse who has faced charges and has been unable to work knows the economic hardship involved. I am positive about the future because I believe that we can adapt and use resources wisely and not solely because there will be a strong economy for workers. I mentioned Glen Beck interviewing Google executives yesterday and they spoke about robots that they are working on which means that the human labor force will be reduced in the future. You can actually go to Youtube.com and watch videos of robots that are already in the making to replace humans in various capacities. The Intellihub article outlines some practical ways of living that reduces consumption of products and resources in your life as you move forward.
I encourage you to keep connected with one another in person and regularly by phone and on line. Use the about article to help inspire you to make it through times of change and financial hardship. If you can share accommodation with another nurse in a similar situation that would benefit you both. Live as simply as possible. You are worthy of respect - honor- and support.

Read and increase your knowledge about current practice and outcome data for your specialty and use this knowledge to defend your actions. www.courtnews.co.uk describes a situation with a midwife resulting in the death of the baby and the Mid Wife loosing her license.

WILES: MIDWIFE STRUCK OFF OVER BABY ERRORS
HELSTON, CORNWALL A midwife who made a series of errors during the birth of a baby who died just five days later was struck off today (Fri). Elizabeth Wiles was given the care of first-time mother Gemma Bosworth at the Helston Birthing Centre, Helston, Cornwall. The birth was complicated, but Wiles chose to record only a fifth of the observations required by industry guidelines and waited over an hour to call for help. Baby Zac was born in the back of an ambulance on the way to the Royal Cornwall Hospital, Truro, and died just five days later. - See more at: http://www.courtnewsuk.co.uk/online_archive/?name=midwife&sa=Search#results
If you happen to be a minority and feel that you were discriminated against be sure to consult with your lawyer. http://www.exaronews.com/articles/4874/nearly-two-thirds-of-london-nhs-midwives-disciplined-were-black
If anyone saw the move 'The Butler' you will appreciate how individuals can get into positions of power who have racial prejudice. Through their position of power they can oppress others like the character who hired the Butler in the White House. As much as we want to include all people as brothers and sisters not everyone is going to have the same world view and they can only continue to exist if we tolerate their ways of oppressing others. Nurses are apparently experiencing this kind of oppression in the UK and I would not doubt if it exists in other geographical locations.
http://www.sacbee.com/2012/11/02/4956042/nurse-enters-plea-in-elder-abuse.html The LPN in this case was facing criminal charges related to maltreatment of a patient. A settlement was reached for not having enough staff coverage 'Don Esco was more blunt in his assessment of Donna Palmer and Horizon West management, whom he blamed for his wife's death. Esco's civil suit, which was settled in 2010 for nearly $3 million, accused the company of under staffing the facility to maximize profits.' If you are working in a facility where there is a shortage of staff do not put yourself at risk because when patients are harmed you will be held accountable. Enough studies have been published to confirm that patients are at risk when there are not enough patients and this equivocates to your license being in jeopardy in those situations.
http://www.nursesdefenceservice.com/urgent-legal-advice-for-nurses/ Nurses Defence Service is based in the UK and offers legal services for all areas affecting nurses who have to defend their licenses. Be proactive and share this kind of information with nurses you know and always be prepared to contact a lawyer in the event that you have any suspicion that you will be investigated.
http://m.cjonline.com/news/state/2014-02-22/doctors-x-ray-postings-unsettling Face book is a place where lives can be ruined and if you use face book to keep in touch with friends be formal in any of your communications. Unfortunately the physician in this report will most probably have to defend his license before the Board of Healing Arts and say goodbye to his bid for a Senate seat in Kansas.
When it comes to Money - Money is important! I encourage nurses to start earning money as soon as possible and to at the same time defend their license through a lawyer specialized in license law. Looking for a job is always worth while and one industry that is hiring are the railroads https://www.aar.org/jobs/Pages/default.aspx#.Uw5gl-N_s5g
Nurses have the background and experience to become investigative journalists and one pool to tap into is the social media. Nurses are experienced with research and have strong analytical skills to write stories about health care topics.
My very best wishes are with you as your case is defended by a competent and experienced license lawyer and as you find your own path to a future of abundance and prosperity. Napoleon Hill said that most people feel that they didn't have a chance of success because they never took the chance to succeed. I encourage you to meet in person and to keep in contact on line and by phone. Share information and resources with your group and be the support for someone else that you need for yourself.
Warm Wishes, Rita
