EP 95: Huddle Nursing News Update: Pope, DOGE & More!

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. The discussion takes a serious turn when they address a disturbing case of a nurse accused of criminal actions, ultimately reflecting on the state of nursing and the urgent need for change in the profession. 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.
