    Trigger Warning: This episode discusses the death of a child. Listener discretion is advised.
    On this episode of Good Nurse Bad Nurse, we’re welcoming back Nick Garr from Nurses Station the Series as a guest host! He and Tina tell the story of Joy O’Shea Woomer, a nurse who was asked to substitute for another nurse to care for an 11-year-old boy with cerebral palsy.

    Good Nurse Tristin Kate Smith Bad Healthcare System

    Trigger Warning: This episode discusses themes of suicide and mental health crises.
    In this week’s episode, join Tina, Jessica, and Erica as we delve into a poignant story that has touched the hearts of many in the healthcare community. We're talking about Tristin Kate Smith, a dedicated emergency room nurse who was just 28 years old when her life tragically ended in August. But it was what Tristin left behind that has sparked a national conversation—a letter penned five months earlier, where she boldly likened the healthcare industry to an abusive partner.
