Season 1 Episode 21
We explore the troubling case of 15 nurses fired after a 12-year-old patient's death at Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center, where a child was placed in an inadequate general pediatric unit instead of a proper psychiatric facility. The Washington State Nurses Association suggests these firings were retaliatory after nurses raised concerns about patient treatment.
• Hospital closed dedicated adolescent psychiatric unit despite warnings from healthcare professionals
• Child was placed in a general pediatric unit without proper safety features or specially trained staff
• Decision appears financially motivated at the expense of patient safety
• Nurses allegedly fired for accessing patient records, though union claims this was retaliation
• Popular nursing educator "Nurse Sarah" (Registered Nurse RN) hospitalized with meningitis
• Case study of a nurse disciplined for medication administration without proper assessment or documentation
• Board of Nursing reportedly asking mental health questions during license renewals in 30+ states
• Google DeepMind CEO believes AI could replace doctors' diagnostic skills but not nurses' empathy
