Well I didn't see any comments or info on whether her point of view was accurate.  Did the residence in question fail from time to time to provide a proper level of care?  If so I don't support there should be any limits on any professional to speak openly and honestly.  Was that not the complaint the science community had against Mr. Harper, he was muzzling them.   So it's  not OK for a PM to do it but it's OK for a nursing association to limit what a nurse can say?  If indeed she was speaking alternative facts the situation is different.  Silence is a real problem.  No one in police dare breech the blue wall, no doctor wants to openly express that a colleague may have erred, even when that is the truth, and now nurses must present facts in a manner that the public cannot see what is going on.  Would it have been acceptable for this individual to write a letter of complaint to the institution and then post a copy of the letter on social media?  She should start a go fund me page!
