A Nurse's Story of Veracity

Abstract

Editor's note: Every day, perioperative nurses are faced with challenging situations that require personal strength and moral courage to address. These events often go unnoticed by others. The new Speaking Up: Voices from the OR column is a bimonthly column whose aim is to recognize and celebrate perioperative nurses and other surgical team members who speak up and take action as patient advocates in the hopes that these individuals will serve as examples for other nurses to emulate.
