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.

Part 2
In this continuation of episode 77, Nurses Uncorked welcomes Andrew Craig, a nurse turned travel nurse recruiter, and Marian Weber, a veteran travel nurse, to expose the secrets of the travel nursing industry. Travelers often feel distrust towards recruiters due to pay discrepancies and lack of transparency. Advocacy for nurses can be overshadowed by agency priorities and a lack of regulatory oversight. The conversation focuses on the hidden costs of travel nursing contracts, profit margins discretion, arbitration agreements, tax homes and stipends, bill rates, and the impact of Managed Service Providers (MSPs). They discuss the ethical concerns of staffing strikes on both nurses and patient care. They emphasize travel nurses ability to break contracts with proper notice. Andrew shares recruiters' varying income range based on their experience and workload. And finally the guests answer questions submitted by travel nurses and ends with advice for travelers.
