Amanda Trujillo



The Health Communication, Health Literacy, and Social Science #hchlitss Twitter chat welcomes Amanda Trujillo #AmandaTrujillo on Thursday February 16th at 8 p.m. ET/ 5 p.m. PT.


In April of 2011, Amanda Trujillo was fired from Banner Del Webb Hospital in Sun City, Arizona for providing a patient education. Since then, as Amanda states, "my career has been destroyed, no one will hire me because of the complaint on my license. Despite almost three nursing degrees after my name, my education and experience--at this time--is considered 'null and void.'"
