A Message from Nurse Erica
My nursing career began immediately after high school, evolving from CNA to MA, then to Registered Nurse, and eventually into nursing leadership. Early in my journey, I discovered my passion for pediatric nursing and have worked across pediatrics, PICU, pediatric oncology, and pediatric hospice care. Though I've explored various specialties including adult nursing, home health, and wound care (which I absolutely love!), nothing has fulfilled me quite like advocating for my fellow nurses.
The call to advocacy came when I first encountered the toxicity permeating our profession as a new graduate. I'll never forget sitting in my manager's office just weeks into my first RN position, being threatened with termination because I hadn't received enough compliment cards. My close nursing school friend Marlene experienced the identical conversation, which tragically led to a spiral of depression resulting in her taking her own life. That profound loss cemented my conviction that our profession desperately needed change.
Throughout my career, I've confronted bullying, harassment, unsafe working conditions, and organizational gaslighting. Despite being a single mother with everything to lose, I consistently spoke up against these injustices and reported wrongdoing. While I've certainly paid professional prices for this advocacy, I would make the same choices again without hesitation.
Leadership was never in my original career plan—in fact, I considered myself the least likely candidate for such a role. However, I quickly discovered that from a leadership position, I could effect meaningful change more effectively than as a staff nurse. During the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, I posted a video about nursing leadership to TikTok that unexpectedly resonated with many, launching a new chapter in my advocacy work.
This led to me attending nursing strikes, content creating, and hosting this podcast, Nurses Uncorked. I've found my purpose in nationwide nurse advocacy and nurse-led legislation, dividing my time between working with legislators, unions, and supporting nurses in need.
Your continued support genuinely means everything to me. Together, we're creating a stronger, healthier profession for all nurses.

Nurse Erica welcomes back past podcast guest, Matthew @themassholemcguido, and two Massachusetts Nurses Association representatives, Jim McCarthy and Jennifer DeVincent. This episode dives into the upcoming nurses' strike at Massachusetts General Brigham and Women's Hospital and MGB Home Care, scheduled for July 8th, 2026, making it the largest nursing strike in state history. The discussion explores the issues of staffing, overuse of travel nurses, wages, workplace safety, violence against healthcare workers and reporting culture.

The episode touches on union busting, patient safety concerns surrounding scab nurses of questionable qualifications, and the impact on hospital operations.
