Welcome to the third episode in this true crime series covering the murder trial of Meggan Sundwall, a Utah nurse charged with aggravated murder and obstruction of justice in the 2024 death of her friend, Kacee Terry. Prosecutors allege Sundwall administered a fatal dose of insulin to Terry, a non-diabetic, believing she stood to collect a rumored $1.5 million life insurance policy. The defense alleges Terry died by suicide. The truth? It's a complicated, medical and legal ride!

In this episode, Nurse Erica takes you inside Day Three of the trial, including witness testimonies from:   Meggan's father, Meggan's mother, and Kacee's sister. Commentary also touches on the Judge in this case and what happens when the jury is not present. Part three/day three focuses on emotional family testimony, family relationships and dynamics, witness credibility, and a bit of courtroom drama.

This is a long, complex trial, and Nurse Erica is doing the work so you don't have to. She's watching all of the courtroom proceedings, pulling out the moments that matter, courtroom analysis, and giving you the breakdown. No pouring through hours of the trial livestream. Just everything you need.

EP 126: Why Nurses are the Most Unhealthy Medical Professionals.

"It is physiologically contraindicated for nurses to remain in practice"

Nurses Uncorked welcomes back Dr. Lorre Laws PhD, RN to the podcast. In this episode, Nurse Erica shares her personal journey as the primary caregiver for her mother with Alzheimer's Disease. This conversation delves into the impact of unintegrated trauma on nurses and the necessity for self-compassion to aid in recovery. The discussion highlights the silent epidemic of nurse-specific trauma and how it affects nurses' mental and physical health. The statistics reveal high rates of PTSD, depression, substance abuse, and suicide among nurses. The conversation emphasizes the need for a deeper understanding of the nervous system and the importance of addressing personal and professional struggles faced by healthcare workers. The discussion also touches on trauma education lacking in nursing programs and asks the question - are nurses being traumatized to monetize?

EP 125: Tracking the Millions Spent to Keep Nurses Voiceless with Labor Lab!

In this eye-opening episode, Nurse Erica sits down with Bob Funk, creator of LaborLab, the only nonprofit watchdog organization tracking corporate spending on union-busting. Bob pulls back the curtain on the multi-million dollar industry dedicated to keeping healthcare workers from organizing, revealing how hospitals and healthcare systems spend millions of dollars on union-busting consultants. They explore LaborLab's union-buster tracker and discuss the common tactics employers use to discourage nurses from organizing, from captive audience meetings to intimidation and retaliation. Bob explains the Labor Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959 and how the LM-20 forms are supposed to work?along with the troubling reality that many employers and union-busters simply don't comply with legally required financial reporting. The conversation dives into the "persuader loophole" that allows consultants to hide their anti-union activities and discuss why the PRO Act matters for nursing. They don't shy away from the controversial topic of scab nurses and the damage strike-breaking causes to both patient care and the profession. Whether you're curious about organizing, already involved in union efforts, or just want to understand the forces working against nurses' collective power, this episode is essential listening!

EP 115: Straight Out of the Headlines: Board of Nursing Injustices

In this conversation, Nurse Erica interviews Amy Siple, a Nurse Practitioner who faces severe consequences from the Kansas Board of Nursing after an unintentional lapse in her nursing license. Amy shares her journey, detailing the challenges she faced, the emotional toll of the investigation, and the broader implications for nurses everywhere. The discussion highlights the punitive culture within nursing boards, the need for oversight, and the importance of advocacy and support among nurses. There is need for reform and legislative action in how nursing boards operate and discipline nurses. Nurses need to be aware of the consequences of unprofessional conduct. Communication with the Board of Nursing should be approached with caution. Awareness and education about the board's processes are crucial for nurses. Amy's story serves as a call to action for the nursing community to unite and stand against injustices within the profession.   Thank you to Nurses Uncorked Enema Award Sponsor, Happy Bum Co.

Ep 110: Nurse Imposters: Autumn Bardisa, Shannon Womack & Thomasina Amponsah

Disclaimer:  This episode includes unsubstantiated information   In this episode, Nurse Erica and Guest, Matthew/@themassholemcguido delve into the alarming trend of nurse imposters and the systemic failures that allow these individuals to operate undetected. The discussion includes three cases of fake nurses who fraudulently practiced nursing without a license:  Autumn Bardisa, Shannon Womack and Thomasina Amponsah. These recent examples of identity theft and healthcare fraud are broken down in detail. The conversation highlights the implications of such fraud on patient safety, the healthcare system, and the trust placed in medical professionals. It also addresses the lack of accountability among employers and the need for stricter regulations and verification processes in the post Operation Nightingale climate. The public listing of nursing license numbers poses a security risk and accountability must extend to Boards of Nursing.
