Abstract: Whistleblowing is in part defined by the protection that it offers and does not offer to those who speak. Why some organisations find it almost impossible to protect whistblowers depends more on the properties of the organisation than the act of the individual whistleblower. These properties are, to a greater or lesser degree, present in all organisations but they are particularly present in nursing with its longstanding culture of deference to authority. Not all organisations protect whistleblowers that, unfortunately, are perceived to represent a threat to the organisation and the individual for challenging the underpinning norms of the organisation.
