Knowing what she did I certainly would!
She has my support for my granddad was almost given an out of date can of baked beans for his supper once! (The can was like at least ten years out of date at the time!)
But he is now resting in the clouds above (he died in hospital about a year or two ago (I can't remember)). =(
So the NHS was wrong to dismiss her as a "whistleblower" and she was right to have done what she did!
SOMEONE EMPLOY HER QUICKLY!!!

i would absolutely employ her with the knowledge that she truly cared about the people she was nursing. I also think she was spot on to to say there should be a review on whistleblowers and making it easier for them to speak out. As a nurse myself she has my full support should she wish to appeal the decision against the nursing and mudwifery board.
Shame on the NHS for allowing these conditions to happen in the first place and shame agin for kicking a dedicated member of staff in the teeth after 20 years. Letting someone like her go means they are condoning the practices carried out in the programme.

I watched that documentary and I was appalled by the cruelty it depicted. I know that hospital pretty well, too, as it is a short distance from one of the police stations I was based at.
Someone should employ this lady as an inspector and the small number of people that can give nursing a bad name should fear her unannounced inspection.
My best friend is a ward sister and she, too, was appalled at what she saw in the documentary.

She is a hero. Too few speak out against the industrialised murder that the NHS really is.
I have worked in social care for thirty years and would employ her in an instant!
I also worked in the NHS for 5 years if anyone want to call me ignorant!

I'd hire her in a New York minute. She did the right thing, morally and ethically, upholding the highest standards of the nursing profession.
