In this episode of Nurse Chat Diaries, we discuss the arrest of Justin Adkins, who authorities allege used online platforms like Snapchat and Roblox to contact and groom a minor in Florida. This case highlights the growing dangers children face in digital spaces and the emotional reality parents live with as they try to keep their kids safe online. We explore how online grooming works, warning signs families should watch for, and why social media and gaming platforms must be held accountable for stronger child safety protections.

In this episode of Nurse Chat Diaries, we take adeep, unflinching look at the Pencil Factory Murder—the 1913 killing of 13-year-old Mary Phagan—and the controversial case against Leo Frank. Through historical facts, workplace context, and sharp commentary, we examine how laborconditions, media hysteria, and systemic failure shaped a case that still divides opinions over a century later.

Ever Googled a symptom and ended up convinced you were dying by midnight? In this episode of Nurse Chat Diaries, we break down the chaos of “Google said…” with humor, real-life nursing stories, and some much-needed reassurance. From midnight anxiety spirals to TikTok diagnoses, we talk about why the internet jumps to worst-case scenarios, what nurses actually look for, and when symptoms really need medical attention. Laugh, learn, and maybe close a few browser tabs — your nurse said so.
