    EP 97: It's Not Nursing Burnout, It's Nursing Trauma Apr 16, 2025
    Show notes

    In this episode of Nurses Uncorked, Nurse Jessica Sites and Nurse Erica welcome Dr. Lorre Laws PhD RN, a nursing leader focused on addressing nurse trauma and burnout. They discuss the systemic issues within healthcare that contribute to nurse-specific traumatization, the signs of trauma that nurses often overlook, and the importance of creating supportive environments for healing. Dr. Laws shares her journey into nursing later in life and her mission to provide resources and support for nurses facing trauma. The conversation emphasizes the need for a shift in how the healthcare system addresses nurse well-being and the importance of understanding the physiological responses to trauma. This conversation delves into the multifaceted challenges faced by nurses, including the impact of trauma on their mental health and the generational trauma that perpetuates unhealthy work environments. They also address the issue of workplace violence and the disempowerment of nurses within the healthcare system, while offering practical wellness strategies to help nurses reclaim their professional joy and contentment. They discuss the impact of system-induced trauma on nurses, the importance of education in addressing these issues, and the necessity of setting boundaries in the workplace.

    EP 96: Nurses Are Trying To Kill You! Apr 09, 2025
    Show notes

    In this episode of Nurses Uncorked, Nurse Jessica and Nurse Erica discuss a controversial YouTube video by popular YouTuber Papa Meat, which claims that "nurses are trying to kill you". They break down several shocking incidents involving nurses that have made headlines. They also debunk several of the examples which are not actual nurses nor are they "trying to kill you". The hosts emphasize the importance of nursing ethics, integrity, and the impact of social media on the nursing profession. They explore the case of Erin Strotman, a nurse accused of harming infants, a nurse caught in a scandalous affair with a patient, a nurse who hired a hitman, and a fentanyl scandal that led to a patient's death. They also delve into a disturbing case of "nurses" instigating fights among dementia patients. They reflect on the implications of these incidents tarnishing the nursing profession. Nurses are often unfairly judged based on isolated incidents. It is important to distinguishing between different roles in healthcare.
