    Aug 6 2024
    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.

  • EP 58: Patient Abandonment - What Nurses Need to Know!

    EP 58: Patient Abandonment - What Nurses Need to Know!
    Jul 30 2024
    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!
