This paper is about nurses and the ethics of code. An unfortunate effect of ‘blowing the whistle' is that it costs the nurses professionally and personally. The sad part is that one nurses' sacrifice for her career will not fix the system and the thing that she or he spoke up on will not be fixed. In November 2002, four nurses went public regarding the concerns they had about patient safety at two hospitals in Sydney, New South Wales. Even though these nurses spoke up, the commissions that did investigate the Camden and Campeltown Hospitals were not as vigilant as they should have been. Out of the 68 incidents that were reported to the Health Care Complaint Commission, only 48 of them were actually investigated.
