Trigger Warning: Episode Involves Organ Donation Complications Information presented is alleged and under ongoing investigation.   In this episode of Nurses Uncorked, Nurse Erica and Nurse Jessica discuss the controversial case of Anthony "T.J." Hoover, who was declared brain dead but later showed signs of consciousness during the organ donation process. The conversation delves into the family's harrowing experience, the whistleblower accounts from medical professionals involved, and the urgent need for reform in organ donation practices. The whistleblowers share personal experiences and insights into the pressures faced by organ procurement organizations (OPOs) to meet metrics, the lack of oversight, and the potential biases in donor evaluations.

Congress is now involved in investigating the practices of organ donation organizations.

TRIGGER WARNING!  This episode involves a violent assault against a nurse.   In this episode of Nurses Uncorked, Nurse Jessica and Nurse Erica discuss the topic of violence against nurses with guest Natasha Poirier, a nurse turned author who was a victim of a brutal attack by a patient's spouse. Natasha shares her story and the aftermath of the attack, which sparked a national outcry throughout Canada. This case was groundbreaking and led to nationwide demonstrations and changes in the criminal code. The nurses discuss the victim blaming and damaging effects when nurses are asked 'what could you have done differently?' In the aftermath, Natasha authored a book, Unsure - Bearing Witness to Justice, revealing the pervasive issues of violence against healthcare workers and the need for nurses to stand united.   Thank you to our sponsor, Vivian Health!

In this episode of Nurses Uncorked, Nurse Jessica and Nurse Erica discuss the topic of patient abandonment. Patient abandonment is the unilateral severance of the nurse-patient relationship without giving reasonable notice for the continuation of care. The consequences of patient abandonment can include termination from the job, probation or license suspension/revocation by the Board of Nursing, and potential lawsuits for medical malpractice. Nurse Erica shares a personal story related to patient abandonment. In this conversation, Nurse Jessica Sites and Nurse Erica discuss examples of patient abandonment, including sleeping at work, providing incompetent care, or failure to assess patients. They also address what is not considered patient abandonment, such as refusing overtime or quitting a job without notice. The nurses emphasize the importance of knowing your state's specific regulations, scope of practice, and advocating for patients and yourself.   Thank you to our sponsor, Vivian Health!

In this episode of Nurses Uncorked, Nurse Jessica and Nurse Erica introduce a new segment called Whiteboard News Updates. They discuss various current topics related to nursing and healthcare. The first topic is about Gypsy Rose Blanchard, who was a victim of Munchausen syndrome by proxy and recently released from prison. She is now pregnant and facing controversy regarding her use of a home fetal doppler without medical training. This can lead to misinterpretation and/or a false sense of security. The second topic is about a nurse practitioner in Colorado who is under investigation for performing unsupervised invasive procedures at a fertility clinic. The third topic involves the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. Nurses and healthcare professionals have recently been terminated as a result of posting their political views on social media. Nurse Erica and Jessica emphasize the importance of not violating social media policies and the potential repercussions it can have on one's job. The final topic deals with the controversial California Board of Nursing Maximus program, a recovery and alternative to discipline program for nurses with addiction, diversion or mental health issues. The program has faced criticism for its frequent changing of policies without communication, high costs, and lack of support for nurses. Nurses in the program have shared their horror stories of the program, facing financial burdens, and experiencing mental health issues. The California Board of Nursing has been called upon to address the issues with the Maximus program and provide better support for nurses.

Monica Kelsey, founder of Safe Haven Baby Boxes, joins Nurses Uncorked to discuss her organization's mission to prevent the illegal abandonment of newborns, by providing a safe and anonymous way for mothers to surrender their infants. The conversation covers the functionality of the baby boxes, the criticisms and arguments against them, and the differences in state laws regarding Safe Haven surrender. Monica shares her personal story of being abandoned as an infant and how it inspired her to create Safe Haven Baby Boxes. The conversation also includes the history of other baby boxes/hatches/drawers, the anonymity they provide for mothers, the training of providers, and memorable cases. The ultimate goal of Safe Haven Baby Boxes is to eliminate infant abandonment and ensure that every baby is given a chance at a safe and loving life.   Thank you to our sponsor, DeleteMe!
