About Nurse Jessica Sites

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.

PART 2
It has been nearly two years since the National Nurses March in DC on May 12, 2022. We have stayed silent long enough.
Why was there two separate nurse marches the same day in Washington DC? Why did the march keep changing it's name? Were the accusations of racism true? Why didn't the march(s) accomplish anything? Why didn't any nursing associations support it? Has there ever been a successful nurses march in Washington DC? How could that many nurses show up the same day in DC and have nothing to show for it? Why was this opportunity/this moment in time squandered? Will we ever have another opportunity like this with the same momentum? We are answering all this and more.
Nurse Nina (@itsnursenina) joins Nurses Uncorked for part 2 of this two-part podcast to share what she experienced firsthand throughout the planning of the march. Nurse Jessica, Nurse Nina and Nurse Erica witnessed the unraveling behind the scenes, each from very different perspectives and involvement. After being bullied to keep quiet for nearly two years, it is time to tell the truth. For the first time ever, we are speaking publicly about what really took place and the abusive allegations one march made in an attempt at damage control against anyone that spoke out.

Fresh out of prison, Nurse Sybil Garbow and her husband, Michael, sit down for an exclusive interview with Nurses Uncorked. 
Sybil has worked as a dedicated nurse for over 40 years without incident. But that didn't stop a jury from finding the 72 year old nurse guilty of felony assault against another nurse, a coworker, and sentenced her to six months in prison, five years probation and $51,000 in restitution. 
The incident occurred in 2021, in the wake of the George Floyd and Daunte Wright cases. Sybil, an African American nurse was accused of assaulting a white nurse. She says she feels she was treated differently as a black woman with an all white jury, in a county that is 80% white. Sybil contends she acted in self-defense. 
SYBIL CAN NO LONGER WORK AS A NURSE BUT STILL HAS TO PAY OVER $51,000 IN COURT ORDERED RESTITUTION. NURSES UNCORKED DONATED $500 AND WE ARE CALLING ON EVERYONE TO DONATE ANY AMOUNT YOU CAN. $1, $5, $20, ANYTHING IS APPRECIATED. PLEASE HELP HER BY DONATING BELOW:

Milo Bescher, a Swedish Registered Nurse recently posted a viral TikTok that showed how different (ahem, better) nursing is in Sweden, compared to the United States. After moving to New York City over a year ago, he experienced culture shock working as a nurse in America. Milo joins Nurses Uncorked to share his unique perspective on everything from lunch breaks to why nurses aren't criminally prosecuted in Sweden.

Part 2
Former Vanderbilt nurse, RaDonda Vaught, joins Nurses Uncorked, for part-two of a revealing podcast.
In 2017 RaDonda Vaught, a Registered Nurse at Vanderbilt Medical Center, mistakenly administered a paralytic medication resulting in a patient death. This lead to revocation of her nursing license (2021). In 2022, RaDonda became one of the first nurses to be criminally prosecuted for an unintentional nursing error. Ultimately, she was convicted of criminal negligent homicide and abuse of an impaired adult. Fortunately, she was able to narrowly avoid serving time in prison and was sentenced to three years of probation. 
This landmark case quickly garnered international attention and shined a spotlight on Vanderbilt's culpability in this incident. The American Nurses Association, American Bar Association, Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) and many more all issued public statements in support of Vaught and denouncing the criminal prosecution of nurses. Around the world nurses expressed outrage at the blatant disregard of just culture and the dangerous precedent this set. Overnight the landscape of the nursing profession irrevocably changed for the worse and became significantly less safe for patients and nurses alike. Nurses have left the profession in the wake of the trial. Suddenly we faced not just civil litigation or Board of Nursing action, we faced criminal prosecution and loss of our freedom for committing unintentional human error. 
Nurse Erica began covering the RaDonda Vaught case with the Tennessee Board of Nursing hearing, then attended the criminal trial and sentencing in person. Nurse Erica and RaDonda have since become close friends and allies.
