| 20 Feb 2024 | EP 34: Online Patient Threatens Nurse at Peace Health Southwest Medical Center | 00:58:53 | |
Travel RN Coach (@lindseys_leisures), Lindsey, joins Nurses Uncorked to discuss her recent viral video in which a patient made alarming threats against their former ER nurse at Peace Health Southwest Medical Center. The repeated threats included very specific identifying details of the nurse's family, begging the question, how were they able to find this information? The answer lies in The 21st Century Cures Act, first passed in 2016. Many medical professionals remain unaware of The Cures Act. And patients often do not understand the complications it poses to their care. Why do patients have access to nurses' full names? Is this a safety risk that employers should mitigate? What role do electronic health records, like Epic, Cerner, or Meditech play? Should patients have real-time access to their medical records? Join us as we break down The Cures Act and it's ramifications.

| 02 Apr 2024 | EP 40: Jen Hamilton and Cancel Culture | 01:09:48 | |
With over 3.5 million followers, Jen Hamilton has become a beloved online personality and influencer. But even she is not immune from the pitfalls of social media. Jen Hamilton, joins Nurses Uncorked to discuss her recent departure (temporary) from social media and the damaging effects of cancel culture. Nurse Erica and Nurse Jessica share their personal experiences as victims of cancel culture. We dive into the Hot Mess Express, fancy ladies (silkie chickens) and Shower Gate! Cancel culture is defined (Merriam Webster) as the practice or tendency of engaging in mass canceling as a way of expressing disapproval, exerting social pressure and the mass withdrawal of support from public figures or celebrities who have done things that aren't socially accepted today. This practice of "canceling" or mass shaming often occurs on social media platforms. Cancel culture is supported as a tool to stop offensive and harmful behavior, while others find it problematic and toxic.

| 02 Apr 2025 | EP 95: Huddle Nursing News Update: Pope, DOGE & More! | 00:54:28 | |
In this episode of Nurses Uncorked, Nurse Jessica and Nurse Erica are back with a Huddle News Update! They discuss seven news stories involving nursing and healthcare. Several of the unique stories have not been previously shared. Topics
include a disturbing incident involving a patient defecating on a travel nurse; a tragic helicopter crash: and Pope Francis praising nurses. They also share humorous anecdotes, such as the 'Fuck Off Spray' incident and a follow up on a previous huddle news story.

In this conversation, Nurse Erica and Nurse Jessica Sites discuss various critical issues in the nursing profession, including the importance of understanding onboarding documentation, the consequences of falsifying patient records, and the impact of understaffing on patient care.

| 05 Nov 2024 | EP 73: Long Term Care Dark Secrets: What They Don't Tell You - Part 1 | 01:14:00 | |
Part 1
In part one of this two-part series of Nurses Uncorked, Nurse Jessica and Nurse Erica welcome back Matthew, a registered nurse with a background in psychiatric nursing, home health care and wound care. They discuss the harsh realities in long-term care facilities, including regulatory compliance and the increasing use of non-clinicians in traditionally skilled nursing roles. The elder care industry is driven by profit, not patient welfare. Matthew shares his experiences and insights into the corruption and challenges faced in long-term care, which are often hidden from the public eye. The speakers delve into taboo issues such as no-CPR policies and 'do not send out' policies, the implications on patient rights, and the legal accountability of nursing staff. They highlight the dangers of medication administration by inadequately trained staff, the manipulation of regulations to maintain compliance, and alleged cover ups. In this conversation, the speakers discuss the alarming realities of long-term care facilities, highlighting tragic outcomes, the emotional toll on families. A comprehensive overhaul of the system is needed to ensure better care for seniors. Awareness of these issues is crucial for families considering long-term care.

| 27 Feb 2024 | EP 35: Dialysis, DaVita, Fresenius and Corruption with Author Tom Mueller - Part 1 | 01:02:40 | |
PART 1 New York Times best-selling author, Tom Mueller PhD, joins Nurses Uncorked to discuss his book about the corruption in the Dialysis industry. The book is titled, How to Make a Killing: Blood, Death, and Dollars in American Medicine. In the 1960s, dialysis in America was a miracle cure, on the cutting-edge of high-tech medicine. Dialysis represented the first time that doctors had replaced a vital organ with a machine. Dialysis became, in 1972, America’s first (and to date the only) “Medicare for All” condition, when Congress pledged to pay the dialysis treatments of virtually all Americans with kidney failure. Since then, however, dialysis in America has degraded to 1-size-fits-all, assembly line care. Non-profit centers have been bought up by for-profit firms, eventually creating a duopoly between DaVita Dialysis and Fresenius . Harmful practices such as short, high-speed dialysis sessions (termed “bazooka dialysis” in the book), and the involuntary discharge and subsequent blackballing of dialysis patients, are widespread. Patient outcomes, mortality etc in the US are substantially worse than any other developed nation. Yet at the same time, cost of treatment has skyrocketed. We dedicate these episodes (part 1 & 2) to those fighting chronic kidney disease; and to the brave dialysis patients, dialysis nurses, techs, and informants who continue to fight.

| 28 Nov 2023 | EP 22: RaDonda Vaught As You’ve Never Heard Her Before- Part 2 | 00:50:25 | |
Part 2 Former Vanderbilt nurse, RaDonda Vaught, joins Nurses Uncorked, for part-two of a revealing podcast. In 2017 RaDonda Vaught, a Registered Nurse at Vanderbilt Medical Center, mistakenly administered a paralytic medication resulting in a patient death. This lead to revocation of her nursing license (2021). In 2022, RaDonda became one of the first nurses to be criminally prosecuted for an unintentional nursing error. Ultimately, she was convicted of criminal negligent homicide and abuse of an impaired adult. Fortunately, she was able to narrowly avoid serving time in prison and was sentenced to three years of probation. This landmark case quickly garnered international attention and shined a spotlight on Vanderbilt's culpability in this incident. The American Nurses Association, American Bar Association, Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) and many more all issued public statements in support of Vaught and denouncing the criminal prosecution of nurses. Around the world nurses expressed outrage at the blatant disregard of just culture and the dangerous precedent this set. Overnight the landscape of the nursing profession irrevocably changed for the worse and became significantly less safe for patients and nurses alike. Nurses have left the profession in the wake of the trial. Suddenly we faced not just civil litigation or Board of Nursing action, we faced criminal prosecution and loss of our freedom for committing unintentional human error. Nurse Erica began covering the RaDonda Vaught case with the Tennessee Board of Nursing hearing, then attended the criminal trial and sentencing in person. Nurse Erica and RaDonda have since become close friends and allies. Part two of a two-part podcast. Help Us Keep This Podcast going and become an official Patron of Nurses Uncorked!

| 25 Jun 2024 | EP 53: Union Busting Exposed! | 01:22:18 | |
Sarah Johnson, a registered nurse, joins Nurse Jessica and Nurse Erica to discuss the process of organizing a union at her workplace, Corewell Health William Beaumont University Hospital in Michigan. Sarah shares the alleged reasons why nurses at her facility are seeking to unionize, including budget cuts, reduced benefits, and poor working conditions. She describes the tactics used by management to discourage unionization, such as empty promises, division among nurses, and a union buster. The conversation explores the tactics used by union busters and the importance of educating nurses about these tactics ahead of time. It emphasizes the need for nurses to expect and recognize union busting strategies and not fall for them. In this conversation, Sarah Johnson, Nurse Erica, and Nurse Jessica Sites discuss the various tactics used by employers to discourage nurses from unionizing. They cover topics such as misinformation about unions, delaying union elections, manipulating numbers, last-minute surprises, recruiting employees to do anti-union work, captive audience meetings, and temporary improvements to working conditions. The conversation emphasizes the importance of recognizing and not falling for these union-busting tactics. The hosts also encourage nurses to sign union interest cards and stay informed about their rights.

| 05 Mar 2024 | EP 36: Dialysis, DaVita, Fresenius and Corruption with Author Tom Mueller - Part 2 | 00:55:16 | |
New York Times best-selling author, Tom Mueller PhD, joins Nurses Uncorked for part two of the discussion on corruption in the Dialysis industry. His book is titled, How to Make a Killing: Blood, Death, and Dollars in American Medicine. In the 1960s, dialysis in America was a miracle cure, on the cutting-edge of high-tech medicine. Dialysis represented the first time that doctors had replaced a vital organ with a machine. Dialysis became, in 1972, America’s first (and to date the only) “Medicare for All” condition, when Congress pledged to pay the dialysis treatments of virtually all Americans with kidney failure. Since then, however, dialysis in America has degraded to 1-size-fits-all, assembly line care. Non-profit centers have been bought up by for-profit firms, eventually creating a duopoly between DaVita Dialysis and Fresenius . Harmful practices such as short, high-speed dialysis sessions (termed “bazooka dialysis” in the book), and the involuntary discharge and subsequent blackballing of dialysis patients, are widespread. Patient outcomes, mortality etc in the US are substantially worse than any other developed nation. Yet at the same time, cost of treatment has skyrocketed. We dedicate these episodes (part 1 & 2) to those fighting chronic kidney disease; and to the brave dialysis patients, dialysis nurses, techs, and informants who continue to fight.

| 28 Jan 2025 | EP 85: Live from the Providence Oregon Nursing Strike Line | 01:17:51 | |
Recorded live from the Providence St. Vincent Medical Center strike line on 1/25/25, strike day 16. Special thanks to the Oregon Nurses Association. On January 10, 2025, nearly 5,000 healthcare professionals began an open-ended strike, calling on Providence Health & Services to put their patients before profits by offering a fair contract to frontline caregivers. The strike includes doctors, nurses, advanced practice providers, and midwives from eight Providence Oregon hospitals and six clinics. At issue: Providence's alleged unfair labor practices, dangerously understaffed hospitals, the ability to spend more time with patients, employee healthcare, and competitive wages and benefits to be able to recruit and retain more caregivers. In this special episode, Nurse Jessica and Nurse Erica interview three of the registered nurses, an internal medicine physician, and a certified nurse midwife. The conversation includes concerns regarding hospital administration's disconnect from patient care and the impact of management decisions on provider retention. The discussion delves into the financial dynamics of the organization, the importance of fair compensation, and the need for genuine negotiations to ensure safe patient care. They discuss issues such as high turnover rates, safety concerns related to staffing ratios, the impact of insurance changes, while criticizing Providence Health's tactics and corporate greed. The conversation underscores their determination to hold the line until their demands are met. Thank you to our sponsor, Stink Balm Odor Blocker!

| 30 Jul 2024 | EP 58: Patient Abandonment - What Nurses Need to Know! | 01:00:01 | |
In this episode of Nurses Uncorked, Nurse Jessica and Nurse Erica discuss the topic of patient abandonment. Patient abandonment is the unilateral severance of the nurse-patient relationship without giving reasonable notice for the continuation of care. The consequences of patient abandonment can include termination from the job, probation or license suspension/revocation by the Board of Nursing, and potential lawsuits for medical malpractice. Nurse Erica shares a personal story related to patient abandonment. In this conversation, Nurse Jessica Sites and Nurse Erica discuss examples of patient abandonment, including sleeping at work, providing incompetent care, or failure to assess patients. They also address what is not considered patient abandonment, such as refusing overtime or quitting a job without notice. The nurses emphasize the importance of knowing your state's specific regulations, scope of practice, and advocating for patients and yourself.

| 06 Feb 2024 | EP 32: Criminally Charged Nurse Michelle Heughins Speaks Out | 01:05:57 | |
DISCLAIMER: This episode discusses the in custody death of an inmate and the events leading up to it. Listener discretion is advised. In December, 2019 Forsyth County jail inmate, John Neville allegedly fell off his top bunk and exhibited seizure like symptoms. Five correctional officers and one correctional nurse, Michelle Heughins RN, a correctional nurse on duty, responded to his cell. He was held down prone by the officers. The nurse was often not granted access to Neville, who was first responsive and fighting, then later becoming unresponsive. Upon finding the patient had no pulse and was not breathing, Nurse Heughins called for an AED and began CPR. Neville died of positional asphyxiation two days later in the hospital. The five officers and one nurse were criminally charged with involuntary manslaughter. However the Grand Jury decided to ONLY indict the nurse. Correctional nurse, Michelle Heughins RN, joins Nurses Uncorked to tell her story, the three year court battle, and the outcome of her case. This is a story of courage and resiliency, but also a story of the ongoing persecution of nurses. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPR3MXC8x/

PART 1 It has been nearly two years since the National Nurses March in DC on May 12, 2022. We have stayed silent long enough. Why was there two separate nurse marches the same day in Washington DC? Why did the march keep changing it's name? Were the accusations of racism true? Why didn't the march(s) accomplish anything? Why didn't any nursing associations support it? Has there ever been a successful nurses march in Washington DC? How could that many nurses show up the same day in DC and have nothing to show for it? Why was this opportunity/this moment in time squandered? Will we ever have another opportunity like this with the same momentum? We are answering all this and more. Nurse Nina (@itsnursenina) joins Nurses Uncorked for this two-part podcast to share what she experienced firsthand throughout the planning of the march. Nurse Jessica, Nurse Nina and Nurse Erica witnessed the unraveling behind the scenes, each from very different perspectives and involvement. After being bullied to keep quiet for so long, it is time to tell the story. For the first time ever, we are speaking publicly about what really took place and the abusive allegations one march made in an attempt at damage control against anyone that spoke out.

Fresh out of prison, Nurse Sybil Garbow and her husband, Michael, sit down for an exclusive interview with Nurses Uncorked. Sybil has worked as a dedicated nurse for over 40 years without incident. But that didn't stop a jury from finding the 72 year old nurse guilty of felony assault against another nurse, a coworker, and sentenced her to six months in prison, five years probation and $51,000 in restitution. The incident occurred in 2021, in the wake of the George Floyd and Daunte Wright cases. Sybil, an African American nurse was accused of assaulting a white nurse. She says she feels she was treated differently as a black woman with an all white jury, in a county that is 80% white. Sybil contends she acted in self-defense. SYBIL CAN NO LONGER WORK AS A NURSE BUT STILL HAS TO PAY OVER $51,000 IN COURT ORDERED RESTITUTION. NURSES UNCORKED DONATED $500 AND WE ARE CALLING ON EVERYONE TO DONATE ANY AMOUNT YOU CAN. $1, $5, $20, ANYTHING IS APPRECIATED.

| 18 Jul 2023 | EP 2: Pennsylvania Nursing Drama Involving Nurse Erica | 00:36:28 | |
In June, 2023 the Pennsylvania House of Representatives passed HB106 The Patient Safety Act which would mandate minimum nurse-patient staffing ratios. A letter sent to PA legislators from over 400 PA nurse leaders opposing HB106 and staffing ratios was made public on the PA Hospital Association website. When Nurse Erica shared the list of over 400 names, there was a concerted damage control campaign among PA hospitals, including allegedly telling employees that Erica fabricated the 23 page letter.

| 23 May 2024 | EP 48: Ascension Hospital / Liability in the Event of a Cyber Attack | 01:25:57 | |
This episode discusses alleged allegations that may not be confirmed at this time. In this episode, Nurse Jessica and Nurse Erica are joined by legal nurse consultant Matthew Garvey to discuss the recent cyber attack on Ascension Healthcare. The goal of this episode is to provide information and education for the frontline staff affected. They discuss the lack of preparedness by Ascension for such attacks and the potential liability that nurses may face. Board of Nursing liability still applies during a crisis, and nurses are accountable to the board's standards of practice. Suggested documentation should include a statement about practicing during the ransomware attack. Nurses should continue to enter incidents into the reporting system, despite any alleged discouragement. Lack of preparedness, such as not having sufficient downtime forms, binders or racks for paper documentation, is unacceptable and should be addressed by nurse leaders. There is a focus on the challenges of paper charting during a cyber attack and the lack of support from leadership. They also highlight the issue of managers not supporting staff during a crisis and the potential violation of their responsibilities. The incident command center is mentioned as a crucial resource that should be activated to provide support and guidance during emergencies. It emphasizes the need for clear and consistent messaging to build trust among healthcare workers. The discussion also touches on the ethical and legal considerations of informing patients about delays due to downtime. The lack of a bed board patient tracking system and the use of paper MARs are identified as major challenges during the cyber attack. The conversation concludes with advice to the frontline healthcare workers. Matthew P. Garvey DNP, MBA, RN, EMT-B, CCRN, CEN, TCRN: https://www.garveyces.com/

| 09 Apr 2025 | EP 96: Nurses Are Trying To Kill You! | 00:50:43 | |
In this episode of Nurses Uncorked, Nurse Jessica and Nurse Erica discuss a controversial YouTube video by popular YouTuber Papa Meat, which claims that "nurses are trying to kill you". They break down several shocking incidents involving nurses that have made headlines. They also debunk several of the examples which are not actual nurses nor are they "trying to kill you". The hosts emphasize the importance of nursing ethics, integrity, and the impact of social media on the nursing profession. They explore the case of Erin Strotman, a nurse accused of harming infants, a nurse caught in a scandalous affair with a patient, a nurse who hired a hitman, and a fentanyl scandal that led to a patient's death. They also delve into a disturbing case of "nurses" instigating fights among dementia patients. They reflect on the implications of these incidents tarnishing the nursing profession. Nurses are often unfairly judged based on isolated incidents. It is important to distinguishing between different roles in healthcare.

| 04 Feb 2025 | EP 86: Revolutionizing Healthcare Administrator Accountability! | 01:12:27 | |
In this episode of Nurses Uncorked, Nurse Erica and Nurse Jessica welcome Kelli Johnson, an RN and advocate for healthcare reform. The conversation delves into Kelli's journey as a nurse, her experiences with staffing issues, and her involvement in legislative efforts to improve patient safety. They discuss the lack of accountability in healthcare administrators who are not currently required to hold any licensure. Accountability should extend to all levels of hospital management. In this conversation, the speakers discuss the challenges and implications of healthcare staffing laws, particularly focusing on the newly introduced HB 1567, which aims to hold hospital administrators accountable for their decisions impacting patient care. The conversation touches on the legislative process and defining who should be required to have a license in hospital administration. The discussion emphasizes the importance of accountability in healthcare and the need for systemic changes to ensure patient safety.

| 21 Nov 2023 | EP 21: RaDonda Vaught, As You’ve Never Heard Her Before - Part 1 | 00:47:15 | |
Part 1 In 2017 RaDonda Vaught, a Registered Nurse at Vanderbilt Medical Center, mistakenly administered a paralytic medication resulting in a patient death. This lead to revocation of her nursing license (2021). In 2022, RaDonda became one of the first nurses to be criminally prosecuted for an unintentional nursing error. Ultimately, she was convicted of criminal negligent homicide and abuse of an impaired adult. Fortunately, she was able to narrowly avoid serving time in prison and was sentenced to three years of probation. This landmark case quickly garnered international attention and shined a spotlight on Vanderbilt's culpability in this incident. The American Nurses Association, American Bar Association, Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) and many more all issued public statements in support of Vaught and denouncing the criminal prosecution of nurses. Around the world nurses expressed outrage at the blatant disregard of just culture and the dangerous precedent this set. Overnight the landscape of the nursing profession irrevocably changed for the worse and became significantly less safe for patients and nurses alike. Nurses have left the profession in the wake of the trial. Suddenly we faced not just civil litigation or Board of Nursing action, we faced criminal prosecution and loss of our freedom for committing unintentional human error. Nurse Erica began covering the RaDonda Vaught case with the Tennessee Board of Nursing hearing, then attended the criminal trial and sentencing in person. Nurse Erica and RaDonda have since become close friends and allies. Part one of a two-part podcast. Help Us Keep This Podcast going and become an official Patron of Nurses Uncorked!

WOOWHO!!!! It's Nurses Uncorked one year anniversary! 52 episodes in the can and never missed a single week! While other podcasts often do seasons and reruns, Nurses Uncorked puts out original episodes every week!

The conversation also delves into the staffing and resources needed for these centers and the financial aspects of the legislation. In this final part of the conversation, the nurses discuss the potential challenges and timeline for implementing advanced birthing centers. They also touch on the role of organizations like AHCA in establishing the rules and regulations for these centers.

| 06 Aug 2024 | EP 59: What Could You Have Done Differently? Violence Against Healthcare Workers | 01:15:32 | |
TRIGGER WARNING!
This episode involves a violent assault against a nurse.
In this episode of Nurses Uncorked, Nurse Jessica and Nurse Erica discuss the topic of violence against nurses with guest Natasha Poirier, a nurse turned author who was a victim of a brutal attack by a patient's spouse. Natasha shares her story and the aftermath of the attack, which sparked a national outcry throughout Canada. This case was groundbreaking and led to nationwide demonstrations and changes in the criminal code. The nurses discuss the victim blaming and damaging effects when nurses are asked 'what could you have done differently?' In the aftermath, Natasha authored a book, Unsure - Bearing Witness to Justice, revealing the pervasive issues of violence against healthcare workers and the need for nurses to stand united.

| 09 Apr 2024 | EP 41: The Damaging Effects of Cancel Culture - Continuing the Conversation | 00:53:15 | |
In this follow up to last week's episode with Jen Hamilton, Nurse Jessica Sites and Nurse Erica discuss cancel culture and their personal experiences with it. They define cancel culture as a cultural phenomenon where individuals who are deemed to have acted or spoken in an unacceptable manner are ostracized, boycotted, or shunned. They share their own stories of being canceled, harassed, bullied and the negative impact it had on their lives. Nurse Erica talks about being canceled by the veterinary community after posting a video about her dog's health issues and her experience with a vet clinic. They also discuss the damaging effects of cancel culture, including PTSD, fear, safety concerns and the potential for it to lead to censorship. The conversation highlights the need for more open and respectful dialogue on social media and the importance of understanding different perspectives. They emphasize the negative impact of cancel culture on mental health and the lack of real social change it brings. The conversation also touches on the importance of standing up against bullying and supporting one another. Takeaways

*All incident details discussed are alleged, for informational purposes only, and may include information that is general in nature and unsubstantiated.
In part two of the conversation, Nurse Jessica Sites, Nurse Erica and Matthew, @themassholemcguido, continue the discussion about the alarming rise in workplace violence within the healthcare sector.

The speakers highlight the need for accountability and legislation to protect healthcare workers, and the importance of mobilizing nurses to advocate for change.

| 23 Jan 2024 | EP 30: Signs and Symptoms of Nursing Burnout With Masshole McGuido RN | 01:08:01 | |
DISCLAIMER: This episode discusses the subject of suicide. Listener discretion is advised. If you are experiencing thoughts of self-harm or suicide, please call or text the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988. We are having the crucial conversation about nursing burnout or what we like to refer to as moral injury. We discuss the well known and the not so well known signs and symptoms of burnout and how workplace violence plays a role in it. @themassholemcguido (@themcguidonurse) is back by popular demand to weigh in on this and the alarming suicide rate among nurses. What should you do if you are experiencing any of these signs? Is it okay to leave the toxic job or even the profession? And just how common is moral injury and suicide in nurses? As usual we add in some humor to this heavy subject (because nurses always have a dark sense of humor). This is an important episode for new nurses, experienced nurses, and loved ones of nurses.

| 23 Jul 2024 | EP 57: Whiteboard News: Gypsy Rose Blanchard, Donald Trump & Other Controversies | 00:55:22 | |
In this episode of Nurses Uncorked, Nurse Jessica and Nurse Erica introduce a new segment called Whiteboard News Updates. They discuss various current topics related to nursing and healthcare. The first topic is about Gypsy Rose Blanchard, who was a victim of Munchausen syndrome by proxy and recently released from prison. She is now pregnant and facing controversy regarding her use of a home fetal doppler without medical training. This can lead to misinterpretation and/or a false sense of security. The second topic is about a nurse practitioner in Colorado who is under investigation for performing unsupervised invasive procedures at a fertility clinic. The third topic involves the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. Nurses and healthcare professionals have recently been terminated as a result of posting their political views on social media. Nurse Erica and Jessica emphasize the importance of not violating social media policies and the potential repercussions it can have on one's job. The final topic deals with the controversial California Board of Nursing Maximus program, a recovery and alternative to discipline program for nurses with addiction, diversion or mental health issues. The program has faced criticism for its frequent changing of policies without communication, high costs, and lack of support for nurses. Nurses in the program have shared their horror stories of the program, facing financial burdens, and experiencing mental health issues. The California Board of Nursing has been called upon to address the issues with the Maximus program and provide better support for nurses.

Monica Kelsey, founder of Safe Haven Baby Boxes, joins Nurses Uncorked to discuss her organization's mission to prevent the illegal abandonment of newborns, by providing a safe and anonymous way for mothers to surrender their infants. The conversation covers the functionality of the baby boxes, the criticisms and arguments against them, and the differences in state laws regarding Safe Haven surrender. Monica shares her personal story of being abandoned as an infant and how it inspired her to create Safe Haven Baby Boxes. The conversation also includes the history of other baby boxes/hatches/drawers, the anonymity they provide for mothers, the training of providers, and memorable cases. The ultimate goal of Safe Haven Baby Boxes is to eliminate infant abandonment and ensure that every baby is given a chance at a safe and loving life.

| 14 Sep 2024 | EP 65: Kapi'olani Medical Center, Hawaii, Nursing Strike | 01:03:03 | |
Bonus Episode!! On September 13th, 2024, 600 nurses exerted their legally protected right participating in an unfair labor practice strike at Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women and Children. The nurses are represented by the Hawaii Nurses Association/OPEIU Local 50 union. This is their second strike this year. The first one was a seven day strike in January. The 9/13/2024 strike was a planned one-day only strike. Despite the short duration, the hospital went to the media (allegedly) to announce their plans to lockout the nurses indefinitely when they attempt to return to work on September 14, 2024. In addition to being an illegal lockout, it has the potential for setting a very dangerous precedent for nurses and unions everywhere. Nurse Jessica and Nurse Erica traveled to Honolulu, Hawaii to support the Kapi'olani nurses. This podcast was recorded on the actual strike line. The hosts share their experiences and what they witnessed. Four of the striking nurses are interviewed and share their individual experiences. Erica and Jessica would like to thank the Kapi'olani nurses and the Hawaii Nurses Association/OPEIU Local 50 for welcoming them. Interested in Sponsoring the Show?

| 13 Feb 2024 | EP 33: Infant Decapitated During Birth - New Information! | 00:52:07 | |
DISCLAIMER: This episode discusses graphic details of a case involving fetal death and decapitation during the labor process. Listener discretion is advised. This is a follow up to episode #6 (link below). New information has recently been released in the case of the decapitated infant at Southern Regional Medical Center, Atlanta, GA, in July, 2023. Parents allege the OBGYN, Dr. Tracey St. Julian, applied excessive traction to the the baby's head causing it to detach during the labor process. The complaint also alleges the hospital and staff did not disclose the decapitation and the parents were permitted to view their deceased infant only through a window, with the head propped in place. Nurse Jessica Sites, a labor & delivery nurse of 22 years, lends her expertise in this area. Since the original episode aired, the medical examiner recently released the manner of death as homicide. Additionally, a second civil law suit has been filed against the pathologist for allegedly posting autopsy photos on social media. We also dive into recent interviews with the parents and attorney, both of whom seem to indicate the nurses may be at fault. Will this be another case of nurses being criminally prosecuted?

| 09 Jan 2024 | EP 28: The Truth About the 2022 National Nurses March in DC - PART 2 | 00:58:03 | |
PART 2 It has been nearly two years since the National Nurses March in DC on May 12, 2022. We have stayed silent long enough. Why was there two separate nurse marches the same day in Washington DC? Why did the march keep changing it's name? Were the accusations of racism true? Why didn't the march(s) accomplish anything? Why didn't any nursing associations support it? Has there ever been a successful nurses march in Washington DC? How could that many nurses show up the same day in DC and have nothing to show for it? Why was this opportunity/this moment in time squandered? Will we ever have another opportunity like this with the same momentum? We are answering all this and more. Nurse Nina (@itsnursenina) joins Nurses Uncorked for part 2 of this two-part podcast to share what she experienced firsthand throughout the planning of the march. Nurse Jessica, Nurse Nina and Nurse Erica witnessed the unraveling behind the scenes, each from very different perspectives and involvement. After being bullied to keep quiet for nearly two years, it is time to tell the truth. For the first time ever, we are speaking publicly about what really took place and the abusive allegations one march made in an attempt at damage control against anyone that spoke out.

Part 2
Jake Haendel, the only known survivor of stage four Locked-In Syndrome, joins the Nurses Uncorked Podcast to share an unbelievable story of survival, addiction, and a miracle recovery. Acute Toxic Progressive Leukoencephalopathy (ATPL) is a complex rare neurological condition that attacks the white matter of the brain. Sometimes referred to as a pseudo-coma, it has been described as your body becoming a prison. Jake discusses the awkward moments he overheard while in a locked-in state, the significance of nurses' interactions, and his journey to regaining communication. The conversation emphasizes the need for healthcare professionals to maintain awareness of their patients' potential perceptions and the impact of their words and actions. In this conversation, he shares his profound experiences with isolation, trauma, and recovery, emphasizing the importance of humor, positivity, and resilience. Additionally, Jake introduces his accessibility app, Ahoi, designed to help disabled individuals navigate public accessibility. The discussion concludes with insights into his podcast, Blink, where he plans to share his full story and the challenges he faces during his recovery.
