Tammy Undiemi, forensic nurse and author, joins us as the guest host for this week's episode!

We are thrilled to feature Tammy as part of our Good Nurse segment! Tammy shares her journey as a forensic nurse and unveils the compelling narrative behind her book, The Chronicles of an ER/Forensic Nurse: The Silence is Deafening.

Show notes

Content Advisory Warning: The following episode contains disturbing material pertaining to violence against children and animals. Listener discretion is advised.

Alejandra, a musical therapist, joins us this week as our guest host! We're tackling a story with darker themes that may not be suitable for all listeners. Susan Blouin, a registered nurse, and her husband Ray were considered pillars of their community for selflessly opening their doors to many children in the foster care system. The Blouins, however, fostered anything but hope and love in their house of horrors.

As always, we like to end on a lighter note by recognizing a person who exemplifies the good that is happening in the medical community. We're highlighting Alejandra as part of our "Good Nurse" segment for her music therapy work with NICU babies! Check out Alejandra's Fundraiser for NICU Babies!

Content Advisory Warning: This week's episode contains disturbing themes of violence, including sexual violence against the LGBTQ+ community. Please use discretion when listening to this episode.

Britney Daniels, nurse advocate and author of Journal of a Black Queer Nurse, is our guest host for this week's episode!

A series of gruesome murders in the early 90s causes alarm within the LGBTQ+ community as it becomes apparent that middle-aged homosexual men are being targeted within the New York area. The case would remain unsolved for nearly a decade before a seemingly "average" appearing nurse was declared a suspect.

We are excited to feature our guest host Britney as our Good Nurse! Britney shares how her journaling routine led to her becoming a published author, and how she was recognized by a peer as being a good nurse!
