This week, Tina is joined by the always funny and entertaining Nurse Jessica Sites. Together they bring you the story of nurse, Rhonda Orr. Rhonda Orr met her husband Jimmy online in 1998. Jimmy’s parents paid for Rhonda to go to nursing school. By 2003, their marriage was falling apart, but they continued to live in the same house while Rhonda was finished school. One morning, Rhonda awoke and ran to the neighbor’s house screaming for help, saying her house was on fire and her husband was trapped inside. Jimmy used a wheelchair to get around due to a childhood illness that caused his legs to be extremely weak. What really happened that night? 

For the good nurse, story they discuss the nurses at the University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital protesting for safe staffing and fair wages. You will definitely want to stick around for this heated conversation this week!

Joel is back in the studio on this episode of Good Nurse Bad Nurse! We examine the true crime story of American registered nurse Theodore "Ted" Maher. An unusual circumstance lands Maher a position of a lifetime in the glamorous Mediterranean principality of Monaco, but his dream job soon goes up in smoke. Local media called Maher's story the "Trial of a Century." However, Maher's run-in with law enforcement does not end in Monaco. Approximately fifteen years later, he reinvents himself from arsonist to alleged dognapper. 

Our Good Nurse segment features the incredible actions of Linda Messo, a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) nurse who saved the life of an off-duty NYPD detective on the shoulder of a highway.

This week Tina is joined by Michael with the Real Talk School of Nursing podcast. Together they tell the story of the Heaven's Gate cult. This group was started by a nurse and her boyfriend in the 1970s. The group made headlines in the 1990s after they became convinced that an alien space ship was coming to Earth traveling behind the comet Hale-Bopp. The details of this story are so unbelievable it seems like science fiction. They close the show with the inspirational story of the first male military nurse who also happened to be Black.

In this episode, Tina and guest host Britney Daniels discuss the horrific murder of Sonya Massey.

Nurse Mike with Simple Nursing is joining Tina this week to celebrate 500,000 downloads! A big thank you to all of our listeners for continuing to support our little podcast! In this week's episode Tina and Mike discuss the wildly bizarre story of a medical examiner from west Tennessee who was found in a stairwell bound and gagged with barbed wire. The story only gets stranger from there. They start off the show talking about nurses around the country who are being called off and either made to use PTO or don't get paid but aren't being let out of their contracts. They close the show with a wonderfully endearing story about a retired nurse who collected all sorts of different medicine caps and made a beautiful work of art.

This week, David with the Nurse Papa podcast is back to help Tina tell the story of a school nurse who called 911 and told the dispatcher she had just shot her husband. Was Bernadette acting in self-defense, or was there something more sinister at play? As the story unfolds, there is more under the surface than anyone in the young couple's lives ever knew. They close the show by chatting about the hilarious nurse from Australia, who will have you rolling on the floor when she talks about how she's a 3 person turn!

This week Tina is once again joined by Tom with Just Some Podcast for Advanced Practitioners. Together, they tell you the tragic story of a shooting that took place at a plastic surgeon's office in 1997. On July 3, 1997, Dr. Michael Tavis and his office manager Kay Carter were gunned down in cold blood when they arrived to work that morning. Investigators would have to sift through multiple patients who had sued Dr. Tavis for negligence and malpractice in order to find the person who committed this heinous crime. 

They close the show with a first on Good Nurse Bad Nurse...a robot nurse. Before you get too upset about how that sounds, the company has no intention of replacing humans with robots, but it does seem to offer some relief to overworked nurses and understaffed units.

This week Tina is once again joined by Nurse Jessica, and this time, she brought her husband along, Dr. John, a board-certified OB/GYN. They start off with a twisted tale of a doctor who turned to drugs and alcohol to cope after not being able to pass her boards. What she did as her life spiraled out of control has left everyone completely shocked and horrified. For the good doctor story, they discuss the amazing story of a woman who had a baby on a plane bound for Hawaii, and there just happened to be a doctor and several NICU nurses on board! They close the show with a funny article about OB/GYN doctors getting confused about where on the body to swab for COVID!

For the good nurse story, they discuss another registered nurse who is currently serving our nation as a United States Congresswoman, Lauren Underwood.

This week Tina is joined by Kiera and Christina. Fair warning, Tina was Christina's preceptor and Christina was Kiera's preceptor, so we can't promise things won't get a little off track! But somehow they manage to tell the story of a doctor's wife who woke up in the middle of the night to find her husband dead in the TV room....or at least that's her side of the story. They close the show with all three telling stories of nurses who have inspired them.

You will want to stick around until the end for our "Good Nurse" segment as we are joined by a special guest, school psychologist Mike Matvy.

This week Tina and Mike with Simple Nursing go live on TikTok and Facebook to tell the story of Novus Hospice Services in Texas. From the non-medical accountant CEO to the doctors and nurses, they all colluded together to murder their innocent victims by luring them in under false pretenses. Tina and Mike wrap up by talking about their upcoming NurseCreatorCon in Austin, Texas where some of the most successful nurse creators come together to share their knowledge and have some laughs with fellow nurses.

This week Tina is joined by Chelsey, critical care nurse and founder of Tribe RN. Together they tell the unbelievably tragic story of surgical tech Kimberly Hricko. Kimberly and her husband went on a weekend getaway, which included a murder mystery theatre, as a last ditch effort at mending their troubled marriage. The weekend would end with one dead and the other under suspicion for murder. 

They open the show discussing the news story about the US looking into the possibility that the SARS-CoV-2 (Coronavirus 2) began in a lab in Wuhan, China.

They close the show with a story sent in by a listener about a nurse practitioner in Arkansas who is a real life hero truly making a difference.

This week Tina is once again joined by David Metzger, the creator and host of the podcast Nurse Papa. Together they take a journey back to the late 1800s when women were being hanged in the Salem, MA area for being witches. How does this relate to nursing and the medical field you may ask?

They close the show with a nice story about a doctor in the New York area who is trying to be an example for those around her by being part of a trial for the COVID vaccine.

This week Tina is joined by Annie Fulton of the educational nursing podcast Up My Nursing Game. Together they tell the incredibly disturbing story of a cardiovascular intensive care nurse who is accused of unthinkable crimes involving his patients. On February 8th, 2018, investigators were called to a meeting at a prominent heart hospital in Tyler, Texas. The hospital staff and their counsel had a list of seven patients who were involved in a series of incidents that took place between June 2017 and January 2018. Five patients suffered “significant injury” and two of them died. William George Davis, a registered nurse, was working in the Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit on all of the dates of these events. They close the show with a story about a nurse who has worked tirelessly to advance the nursing profession including groundbreaking research in the area of nurse-to-patient ratios.

This week, Tina and David from the Nurse Papa podcast give you their take on the very popular podcast, The Shrink Next Door. This story takes place over thirty years and involves a psychiatrist from New York who is accused of questionable therapy practices and getting a little too close to his patients. It turns out, one of his patients is particularly vulnerable to his style of therapy.

They end the show with a discussion about a video that has gone viral of a nurse singing with a patient. However, this is not just any patient, she is a musical theatre major and amazingly talented. Nurse David Duckett from Duke University was the nurse in the video, and he agreed to come on the show for an interview. He and Tina talk about the importance of knowing your "why" in order to get through difficult times as a nurse. You will love David's passion for nursing and be amazed by his beautiful voice as well.

On this episode, Tina dives into the case of Dani Marie Schofield, a former ICU nurse in Medford, Oregon. She is accused of replacing life-saving fentanyl with tap water, leading to sever patient harm and infections.

For our "Good Nurse," we are featuring Leigh Ann Sondrup, a nurse who heroically saved a man's life after a major accident. Despite her exhaustion from working consecutive night shifts, Leigh Ann's quick thinking using a seatbelt as a tourniquet made all the difference.

This week, Tina is joined by Tom and Ben from the Just Some Podcast for Advanced Practice Nurses podcast. Together, they tell the story of Dr. Richard Schmidt. This is a story that was featured on an episode of Forensic Files. Back in the early nineties, Schmidt developed a relationship with Janice Trahan, a nurse at the hospital where he worked. The problem was both of them were married. They both agreed to leave their respective spouses. Janice followed through with that plan, but Schmidt did not. He wanted to continue the relationship with her, but Janice decided to break things off. This set in motion a series of events that no one could have possibly predicted. They close the show with one of the most heartwarming stories ever talked about on the show. The good doctors are dermatologists who helped a young boy after he was mauled by a German Shepherd while saving his little sister.

On this episode of Good Nurse Bad Nurse, Tina and guest host Dr. Annie DePasquale discuss the fascinating story of Ferdinand Demara. Demara posed as a doctor and surgeon in the Royal Canadian Navy during the Korean War, performing surgeries and amputations without any medical training. Despite his lack of credentials, he managed to gain the trust of his fellow officers and even received a nomination for a medal. However, his rise to fame ultimately becomes his downfall.

If you're a nurse practitioner, you'll definitely want to stick around for our "Good Nurse" segment! We're featuring Dr. Annie, the founder of the company Collaborating Docs. Dr. Annie shares her own experiences working with nurse practitioners and the importance of collaboration between different healthcare professionals, which became the basis for her company.

As a whirlwind romance develops between a podiatrist and his patient, the couple makes plans for a future together. There was, however, just one problem that stood in the way of the couple's happiness: the doctor's wife. With divorce not being an option for the doctor, the couple seek alternative methods to end the marriage. For our Good Nurse segment, we're thrilled to feature our guest host Kati! Kati shares her own journey and how she bridged the gap between textbook and reality to help support and encourage newly licensed nurses.

This week Tina is joined by David Metzger of the Nurse Papa podcast. Together, they tell the disturbing story of a nurse determined to marry a doctor... even if he was already married to someone else. Dr. David Stephens brought cardiothoracic surgery to the state of Mississippi. He was well respected and revered until the decision to get involved with the nurse who worked for him would change his life forever. 

They close the show with a spotlight on David to celebrate the release of the Nurse Papa book. You will definitely want to stick around to the end if you want to hear Tina blubbering like a baby when they get to talking about the patients David has cared for. You will also want to make sure to listen to the very end to hear the first chapter of the book.

Kiki is back once again to co-host with Tina. Together they tell the incredibly disturbing story of Cathy Wood and Gwendolyn Graham. Cathy and Gwendolyn were two nurse techs who had some horrific games they liked to play together that involved the elderly patients they were supposed to be caring for at the the nursing home where they worked together. They close the show with a different kind of good nurse story. Our good nurse this week had the courage to stand up to a patient who requested to not have a black nurse caring for her. Teoka Williams was working as a bedside nurse when a patient complained about having a black nurse. When Ms. Williams complained about the incident she was reassigned to a different patient and was told the patient had the right to refuse care for whatever reason.

This week Tina is joined by Mark, her better half and head of all things IT for Good Nurse Bad Nurse. Together they tell the story of Dr. Infgolf Tuerk. A renowned urologist from Brighton, Massachusetts. For years, Tuerk was recognized for his contributions to medicine, worked as the chief of urology, was featured in videos and billboards promoting the hospital, and was loved by all his patients. But it all started to unravel in 2019 when he was investigated for Medicare fraud and fired from the hospital. As he began to spiral downward, his wife took the brunt of his rage and instability which ultimately led to a horrible tragedy. 

For the good nurse story, they talk about one of three US Congresswomen serving currently who are nurses. Congresswoman Cori Bush was elected in 2020 to serve Missouri’s 1st Congressional district. She is the first Black woman and first nurse to represent Missouri and the first woman to represent Missouri’s 1st Congressional District. She received a nursing degree from Lutheran University of Nursing in 2019 and spent the next decade serving the community as a nurse, ordained pastor, community organizer, and childcare worker.

Alejandra, a musical therapist, joins us this week as our guest host! We're tackling a story with darker themes that may not be suitable for all listeners. Susan Blouin, a registered nurse, and her husband Ray were considered pillars of their community for selflessly opening their doors to many children in the foster care system. The Blouins, however, fostered anything but hope and love in their house of horrors. 

As always, we like to end on a lighter note by recognizing a person who exemplifies the good that is happening in the medical community. We're highlighting Alejandra as part of our "Good Nurse" segment for her music therapy work with NICU babies! Check out Alejandra's Fundraiser for NICU Babies!
