Nurses Uncorked

In this episode of Nurses Uncorked, Nurse Jessica Sites and Nurse Erica interview Delanor Manson, the Chief Executive Officer of the Kentucky Nurses Association. They discuss the passing of House Bill 159 in Kentucky, which decriminalizes unintentional medical errors, making it the first and only state to do so. The bill provides immunity from criminal liability for healthcare workers and encourages a just culture of quality improvement and open communication. Delanor shares the process of writing and championing the bill. They also discuss the impact of the bill on nurse recruitment, retention, and the nursing profession as a whole. Additionally the discussion includes other legislation they have been directly involved in. Delanor highlights the Leadership and Advocacy Academy program offered by the Kentucky Nurses Association to teach nurses advocacy skills and engage with legislators. They have implemented programs to encourage nurses to get involved in politics and decision-making. Thank you to our sponsor, Vivian Health!

This episode discusses alleged allegations that may not be confirmed at this time. In this episode, Nurse Jessica and Nurse Erica are joined by legal nurse consultant Matthew Garvey to discuss the recent cyber attack on Ascension Healthcare. The goal of this episode is to provide information and education for the frontline staff affected. They discuss the lack of preparedness by Ascension for such attacks and the potential liability that nurses may face. Board of Nursing liability still applies during a crisis, and nurses are accountable to the board's standards of practice. Suggested documentation should include a statement about practicing during the ransomware attack. Nurses should continue to enter incidents into the reporting system, despite any alleged discouragement. Lack of preparedness, such as not having sufficient downtime forms, binders or racks for paper documentation, is unacceptable and should be addressed by nurse leaders. There is a focus on the challenges of paper charting during a cyber attack and the lack of support from leadership. They also highlight the issue of managers not supporting staff during a crisis and the potential violation of their responsibilities. The incident command center is mentioned as a crucial resource that should be activated to provide support and guidance during emergencies. It emphasizes the need for clear and consistent messaging to build trust among healthcare workers. The discussion also touches on the ethical and legal considerations of informing patients about delays due to downtime. The lack of a bed board patient tracking system and the use of paper MARs are identified as major challenges during the cyber attack. The conversation concludes with advice to the frontline healthcare workers. Matthew P.

Nurse Jessica and Nurse Erica spent their Nurses Week in Ohio attending the Rally for Ratios and Mental Health, organized by the family of Tristin Kate Smith ('Letter to my Abuser').

Jessica shares personal anecdotes about signs from loved ones in her life and at the rally. Nurses Erica and Jessica discuss their experience, their speeches and the impromptu march that followed. What a great way to wrap up Nurses Week! In the second half of the episode, they talk about the challenges faced by nurses during the cyber attack on Ascension Healthcare, the largest Catholic hospital chain in the US. The attack has allegedly caused system failures, paper charting, and communication issues, allegedly putting patient safety at risk. Ascension's response to the attack has been criticized, and the nurses express their frustration with the lack of support and preparation. The conversation ends with a discussion about the Enema of the Week award. Thank you to our sponsor, Vivian Health!

Cancel culture is defined (Merriam Webster) as the practice or tendency of engaging in mass canceling as a way of expressing disapproval, exerting social pressure and the mass withdrawal of support from public figures or celebrities who have done things that aren't socially accepted today. This practice of "canceling" or mass shaming often occurs on social media platforms. Cancel culture is supported as a tool to stop offensive and harmful behavior, while others find it problematic and toxic.

New York Times best-selling author, Tom Mueller PhD, joins Nurses Uncorked for part two of the discussion on corruption in the Dialysis industry. His book is titled, How to Make a Killing: Blood, Death, and Dollars in American Medicine. In the 1960s, dialysis in America was a miracle cure, on the cutting-edge of high-tech medicine. Dialysis represented the first time that doctors had replaced a vital organ with a machine. Dialysis became, in 1972, America’s first (and to date the only) “Medicare for All” condition, when Congress pledged to pay the dialysis treatments of virtually all Americans with kidney failure. Since then, however, dialysis in America has degraded to 1-size-fits-all, assembly line care. Non-profit centers have been bought up by for-profit firms, eventually creating a duopoly between DaVita Dialysis and Fresenius . Harmful practices such as short, high-speed dialysis sessions (termed “bazooka dialysis” in the book), and the involuntary discharge and subsequent blackballing of dialysis patients, are widespread. Patient outcomes, mortality etc in the US are substantially worse than any other developed nation. Yet at the same time, cost of treatment has skyrocketed. We dedicate these episodes (part 1 & 2) to those fighting chronic kidney disease; and to the brave dialysis patients, dialysis nurses, techs, and informants who continue to fight.

Travel RN Coach (@lindseys_leisures), Lindsey, joins Nurses Uncorked to discuss her recent viral video in which a patient made alarming threats against their former ER nurse at Peace Health Southwest Medical Center. The repeated threats included very specific identifying details of the nurse's family, begging the question, how were they able to find this information? The answer lies in The 21st Century Cures Act, first passed in 2016. Many medical professionals remain unaware of The Cures Act. And patients often do not understand the complications it poses to their care. Why do patients have access to nurses' full names? Is this a safety risk that employers should mitigate? What role do electronic health records, like Epic, Cerner, or Meditech play? Should patients have real-time access to their medical records? Join us as we break down The Cures Act and it's ramifications.

DISCLAIMER: This episode discusses graphic details of a case involving fetal death and decapitation during the labor process. Listener discretion is advised. This is a follow up to episode #6 (link below). New information has recently been released in the case of the decapitated infant at Southern Regional Medical Center, Atlanta, GA, in July, 2023. Parents allege the OBGYN, Dr. Tracey St. Julian, applied excessive traction to the the baby's head causing it to detach during the labor process. The complaint also alleges the hospital and staff did not disclose the decapitation and the parents were permitted to view their deceased infant only through a window, with the head propped in place. Nurse Jessica Sites, a labor & delivery nurse of 22 years, lends her expertise in this area. Since the original episode aired, the medical examiner recently released the manner of death as homicide. Additionally, a second civil law suit has been filed against the pathologist for allegedly posting autopsy photos on social media. We also dive into recent interviews with the parents and attorney, both of whom seem to indicate the nurses may be at fault. Will this be another case of nurses being criminally prosecuted?
