Epiphany

They thought this would break me. But it built me.

Somewhere between the stonewalling, the silence, and the carefully crafted contradictions, I realized something. I wasn't just documenting retaliation. I was uncovering my true calling. 

This experience didn't end my career. It redirected it - with more purpose, precision, and clarity than ever before.

I now see the legal system not as an adversary, but as a tool. A structure where facts, timelines, and evidence matter - and where nurses like me have a role far beyond the bedside. 

My background as a clinical educator and patient advocate makes me uniquely equipped for legal nurse consulting. And everything I've experienced- every email ignored, every policy twisted, every moment I stood my ground - has prepared me to analyze, interpret, and expose gaps others overlook.

I'm not hiding from this. I'm leveraging it.

So no, I'm not worried about how this will affect my career.  In fact, it may just have launched it.
