ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Okay besties… buckle up, cuz this week’s Nurse News episode is honestly a rollercoaster. Colton is back spilling all the nurse-world tea — and some of it is MESSY.
We’re talking:
- 👀 A viral, gut-wrenching ER video showing a Black mom in active labor being completely ignored (how is this still happening??)
- ✂️ An 18-year-old who literally ripped a nurse’s hair out and is now facing felony charges (girl, BE SERIOUS.)
- 💉 The flu-season glow-up: trivalent vaccines are in, quadrivalent is out + the at-home flu mist moment none of us saw coming
- 🏫 A school nurse who stood 10 toes DOWN after being pressured to break HIPAA (Amber Wood = certified icon)
- 🚨 Another “fake nurse” saga because apparently impersonating an RN is everyone’s villain origin story now (???)
Colton breaks it all down with his classic mix of humor, real talk, and “pls someone check on healthcare” energy. If you want to stay informed, stay entertained, and stay slightly stressed about the state of nursing… this ep is for you.
