Preparing to Blow the Whistle: A Survival Guide for Nurses
Navigating Our Sacred Morality
(“For my new and precious friends at Whistleblower Support Center… Those for whom cause is justification enough to act…And, the rest of us who “stand around” watching you exercise our morality… for us!! May we soon join greater forces with one other!”) – Phil Towle, May 2011

Today is the third and final installment of a three-part series on “compassion fatigue,” a “disease” that we’re all supposedly “suffering” from in the wake of earthquakes, tsunamis and other crises that compel us to care about others, to the point of “exhaustion”. In case you haven’t read parts one and two, they’re posted below. If you have, you can read again or fast forward down to part three.

The IWA is establishing a permanent library for thousands of documents related to the cases of American whistleblowers. The documents represent a priceless resource for those will defend future truthtellers from retaliation and will give historians and journalists access to historic details that otherwise might be lost.
Accordingly, the database is now urging all those with documents related to major whistleblowing cases to contact our offices as soon as possible to discuss their preservation in the years ahead.”
