Nurse Breaks Silence After Being Fired for Reporting Hospital’s Baby Mix-Up (With Jana Price, Joyce Fisher and Matthew A. Luber)

Season 2 · Episode 66

Tuesday, November 4, 2025 • Duration 37:55

When a mother in a New Jersey hospital looked down and realized the baby in her arms wasn’t hers, veteran mother–baby nurse Joyce Fisher did what every good nurse is trained to do — she acted fast. But instead of being praised for preventing further harm, Joyce was fired and reported to the Board of Nursing.

In this powerful episode of Nurse Converse, host Jana Price sits down with Joyce and her attorney, Matthew A. Luber, to unpack how a system meant to protect patients turned against the very nurse who upheld it. Together, they explore what happened during the baby mix-up, the emotional toll on everyone involved, and the broader implications for nurses who speak up about safety concerns.

This is more than one nurse’s story — it’s a wake-up call for the entire healthcare profession about accountability, retaliation, and the urgent need for true “Just Culture.”
