Waking Up from The Lie isn’t just a memoir. It’s a call for change. Through testimony, reflection, and poetry, I share my journey from nurse to survivor after a violent workplace assault, and the systemic failures that followed.

What began as a story of personal healing became a mission to expose how silence and neglect harm those who care for others. This work stands for every nurse, caregiver, and frontline worker told to stay quiet.

As a registered nurse, veteran, Hispanic woman, and mother, I write to turn pain into purpose. To speak up, expose injustice, and demand a safer, more compassionate system for all.

Nurses are afraid to go to work. No one should fear saving lives. End the abuse in healthcare.[lwptoc]
