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.

In this episode, the Nurses Uncorked podcast discusses the National Nurses Honor Guard with founder, Julia Godby-Murray. The conversation covers the history of the Nurses Honor Guard, the ceremony they perform at funerals, and the emotional impact it has on families and nurses. The funeral ceremony is to honor and pay tribute to nurses who have passed away. It involves wearing the traditional uniform, carrying a lit lamp, reciting a poem, and performing a final call bell for the nurse to be relieved from their service. The Nurses Honor Guard provides a sense of dignity and respect to the nursing profession and offers healing to both families and nurses. Julia also discusses the growth of the Nurses Honor Guard and how interested individuals can find a group in their area.

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.

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.

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.
