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.

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.

New York Times best-selling author, Tom Mueller PhD, joins Nurses Uncorked for part two of the discussion on corruption in the Dialysis industry. His book is titled, How to Make a Killing: Blood, Death, and Dollars in American Medicine.
In the 1960s, dialysis in America was a miracle cure, on the cutting-edge of high-tech medicine. Dialysis represented the first time that doctors had replaced a vital organ with a machine. Dialysis became, in 1972, America’s first (and to date the only) “Medicare for All” condition, when Congress pledged to pay the dialysis treatments of virtually all Americans with kidney failure.
Since then, however, dialysis in America has degraded to 1-size-fits-all, assembly line care. Non-profit centers have been bought up by for-profit firms, eventually creating a duopoly between DaVita Dialysis and Fresenius . Harmful practices such as short, high-speed dialysis sessions (termed “bazooka dialysis” in the book), and the involuntary discharge and subsequent blackballing of dialysis patients, are widespread. Patient outcomes, mortality etc in the US are substantially worse than any other developed nation. Yet at the same time, cost of treatment has skyrocketed.
We dedicate these episodes (part 1 & 2) to those fighting chronic kidney disease; and to the brave dialysis patients, dialysis nurses, techs, and informants who continue to fight.
