    EP 41: The Damaging Effects of Cancel Culture - Continuing the Conversation

    EP 41: The Damaging Effects of Cancel Culture - Continuing the Conversation

    In this follow up to last week's episode with Jen Hamilton, Nurse Jessica Sites and Nurse Erica discuss cancel culture and their personal experiences with it. They define cancel culture as a cultural phenomenon where individuals who are deemed to have acted or spoken in an unacceptable manner are ostracized, boycotted, or shunned. They share their own stories of being canceled, harassed, bullied and the negative impact it had on their lives. Nurse Erica talks about being canceled by the veterinary community after posting a video about her dog's health issues and her experience with a vet clinic. They also discuss the damaging effects of cancel culture, including PTSD, fear, safety concerns and the potential for it to lead to censorship. The conversation highlights the need for more open and respectful dialogue on social media and the importance of understanding different perspectives. They emphasize the negative impact of cancel culture on mental health and the lack of real social change it brings. The conversation also touches on the importance of standing up against bullying and supporting one another.

    Takeaways
    Cancel culture is a cultural phenomenon where individuals who are deemed to have acted or spoken in an unacceptable manner are ostracized, boycotted, or shunned.
    Cancel culture can have a negative impact on individuals, leading to fear, self-censorship, and a reluctance to engage in open dialogue.
    Cancel culture can lead to the silencing of voices and the potential for censorship.
    It is important to foster a culture of open and respectful dialogue on social media, where different perspectives can be shared and understood. Cancel culture and bullying can have a severe impact on mental health, causing anxiety, stress, and even suicidal thoughts.
    Bullying can occur both online and in the workplace, and it is important to address and stand up against it.
    Cancel culture often fails to bring about real social change and instead perpetuates a mob mentality.
    Supporting and uplifting one another is crucial in combating cancel culture and bullying in the healthcare industry.
    It is important to remember that people have feelings and that words and actions can have long-lasting effects.

    EP 40: Jen Hamilton and Cancel Culture

    EP 40: Jen Hamilton and Cancel Culture

    With over 3.5 million followers, Jen Hamilton has become a beloved online personality and influencer. But even she is not immune from the pitfalls of social media. Jen Hamilton, joins Nurses Uncorked to discuss her recent departure (temporary) from social media and the damaging effects of cancel culture. Nurse Erica and Nurse Jessica share their personal experiences as victims of cancel culture. 
    We dive into the Hot Mess Express, fancy ladies (silkie chickens) and Shower Gate!
    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.

Incredible nurse advocates

These 2 ladies are amazing. They shed light on the real issues nurses face these days.
They provide incredible insight through their own nursing experience. In addition they bring relevant guests that offer great insight to the struggles in nursing today. Really is a blessing to have nurse advocates like this.
