Nurse Jessica Sites, has over two decades worth of experience in the healthcare industry, as a labor and delivery registered nurse in Tampa area in Florida who knows all too well the emotional trauma, yet gratifying moments nurses go through on a daily basis. After 20 long years of 12 hour shifts, she finally took a leap of faith to become a full-time social media influencer who uses her platform, decades worth of healthcare experience, and comedic talent to be voice for workers in the healthcare industry while also being an outlet for other nurses and other healthcare professionals who are facing challenges in their career, and helps to bring awareness and educate them on their options as they navigate the many stresses, nationwide nurses shortage crisis, changes in the healthcare industry, and major societal challenges plaguing the healthcare industry. Now over 2 years later, Nurse Jessica Sites has become a trending social media sensation and is proud of how far she has come in such a short amount of time. She says that if she can give someone even a little chuckle in the midst of their crazy chaotic lives, then she believes she has accomplished her goal

About Nurse Erica

    I have worked in nursing since I graduated high school, first as a CNA, then an MA, then a Registered Nurse, and eventually in nursing leadership. I discovered my love of pediatric nursing early on, having worked in pediatrics, PICU, pediatric oncology, and pediatric hospice. Throughout my career, I ventured into adult nursing for a few years, home health, and periodically worked in wound care (I love wounds!). More recently I have specialized in both pediatric and adult hospice (ask me about pediatric hospice, I could talk about it for hours!). But nothing has fulfilled me as much as advocating for my fellow nurses. 
 
     Advocating for nurses is something that has always come naturally to me. It was as a new grad nurse, that I first encountered the toxicity that runs rampant throughout the nursing profession. I will never forget the feeling of sitting in my manager's office, just weeks into my first RN job, being told I was a failure and threatened with termination because she hadn't received enough compliment cards about me (HCAHPS scores). I remember being so confused. I'd received nothing but positive feedback from patients and coworkers. How can they discipline me when I've never been in any trouble or even informed there was an issue? The manager had the identical conversation with my close friend, Marlene. Marlene and I went through nursing school together and started this job together. This incident started a downward spiral of depression for Marlene and she eventually took her own life. I knew even then that the nursing profession needed to change. I continued to be confronted with toxic harassment, bullying, vertical violence from management, unsafe working conditions, and gaslighting throughout my career. I am proud to say that I always spoke up against it! Always! Even as a single mom, with everything to lose, I continued to report wrongdoing and advocate for my patients and coworkers. I have paid the price for that advocacy at times and I would do it all again. 
 
     I never thought I would go into nursing leadership. Truth be told, I am the least likely nurse to go into leadership. I quickly discovered I could affect change much more in leadership, than I could as a staff nurse. And that's exactly what I did. Then one day, early on in the Covid-19 pandemic, I decided to post a video about being in nursing leadership to TikTok. The rest, as they say, is history. It wasn't long before I co-founded The Last Pizza Party, a grassroots nurse advocacy movement. This ultimately became a challenging journey to navigate and witness colleagues chose different paths. I soon expanded across other social media platforms and as an author. I found my niche in nationwide nurse advocacy and nurse led legislation, dividing my time between legislators, unions, and nurses in need.
~Nurse Erica

Tuesday May 21, 2024

Nurse Jessica and Nurse Erica spent their Nurses Week in Ohio attending the Rally for Ratios and Mental Health, organized by the family of Tristin Kate Smith ('Letter to my Abuser'). They express admiration for Tristin Kate Smith's family for their commitment to improving nursing conditions. They also mention media coverage and unpredictable weather at the rally. Jessica shares personal anecdotes about signs from loved ones in her life and at the rally. Nurses Erica and Jessica discuss their experience, their speeches and the impromptu march that followed. What a great way to wrap up Nurses Week!
 
In the second half of the episode, they talk about the challenges faced by nurses during the cyber attack on Ascension Healthcare, the largest Catholic hospital chain in the US. The attack has allegedly caused system failures, paper charting, and communication issues, allegedly putting patient safety at risk. Ascension's response to the attack has been criticized, and the nurses express their frustration with the lack of support and preparation. The conversation ends with a discussion about the Enema of the Week award.

In this follow up to last week's episode with Jen Hamilton, Nurse Jessica Sites and Nurse Erica discuss cancel culture and their personal experiences with it. They define cancel culture as a cultural phenomenon where individuals who are deemed to have acted or spoken in an unacceptable manner are ostracized, boycotted, or shunned. They share their own stories of being canceled, harassed, bullied and the negative impact it had on their lives. Nurse Erica talks about being canceled by the veterinary community after posting a video about her dog's health issues and her experience with a vet clinic. They also discuss the damaging effects of cancel culture, including PTSD, fear, safety concerns and the potential for it to lead to censorship. The conversation highlights the need for more open and respectful dialogue on social media and the importance of understanding different perspectives. They emphasize the negative impact of cancel culture on mental health and the lack of real social change it brings. The conversation also touches on the importance of standing up against bullying and supporting one another.
Takeaways
Cancel culture is a cultural phenomenon where individuals who are deemed to have acted or spoken in an unacceptable manner are ostracized, boycotted, or shunned.
Cancel culture can have a negative impact on individuals, leading to fear, self-censorship, and a reluctance to engage in open dialogue.
Cancel culture can lead to the silencing of voices and the potential for censorship.
It is important to foster a culture of open and respectful dialogue on social media, where different perspectives can be shared and understood. Cancel culture and bullying can have a severe impact on mental health, causing anxiety, stress, and even suicidal thoughts.
Bullying can occur both online and in the workplace, and it is important to address and stand up against it.
Cancel culture often fails to bring about real social change and instead perpetuates a mob mentality.
Supporting and uplifting one another is crucial in combating cancel culture and bullying in the healthcare industry.
It is important to remember that people have feelings and that words and actions can have long-lasting effects.

With over 3.5 million followers, Jen Hamilton has become a beloved online personality and influencer. But even she is not immune from the pitfalls of social media. Jen Hamilton, joins Nurses Uncorked to discuss her recent departure (temporary) from social media and the damaging effects of cancel culture. Nurse Erica and Nurse Jessica share their personal experiences as victims of cancel culture. 
We dive into the Hot Mess Express, fancy ladies (silkie chickens) and Shower Gate!
Cancel culture is defined (Merriam Webster) as the practice or tendency of engaging in mass canceling as a way of expressing disapproval, exerting social pressure and the mass withdrawal of support from public figures or celebrities who have done things that aren't socially accepted today. This practice of "canceling" or mass shaming often occurs on social media platforms. Cancel culture is supported as a tool to stop offensive and harmful behavior, while others find it problematic and toxic.
