The Injured Nurse
I am what should never have happened.
I am the story where all the safety holes aligned –
The perfect storm.
I am the accident waiting to happen, finally happening.
I am what occurs
When every single safeguard is ignored.
I am the result
Of protocols that failed
And warnings that went unheeded.
I am the wrong place, wrong time story.
I am the example used in training slides.
I am the cautionary tale.
I am the outcome
Of disregard, ignorance, indifference, and greed.
I am –
The injured nurse.
