Whistleblowing and Boundary Violations: exposing a colleague in the forensic milieu

Cindy Peternelj-Taylor

College of Nursing, University of Saskatchewan, 107 Wiggins Road, Saskatoon, SK, S7N 5E5 Canada, peternel{at}duke.usask.ca

The purpose of this article is to examine the phenomenon of whistleblowing as it relates to a reconstructed case study of an erotic boundary violation that emerged from a clinical situation in forensic psychiatric nursing practice. The unique features of this case are illustrated with the help of a model for decision making. Although the ramifications of exposing a colleague are many, it is argued that, in this particular case, it was morally and ethically the right thing to do.

Key Words: boundary violations • ethical decision making • whistleblowing
