    Nurse Erica welcomes back past podcast guest, Matthew @themassholemcguido, and two Massachusetts Nurses Association representatives, Jim McCarthy and Jennifer DeVincent. This episode dives into the upcoming nurses' strike at Massachusetts General Brigham and Women's Hospital and MGB Home Care, scheduled for July 8th, 2026, making it the largest nursing strike in state history. The discussion explores the issues of staffing, overuse of travel nurses, wages, workplace safety, violence against healthcare workers and reporting culture. The guests share insights on negotiation dynamics, systemic disrespect and the future of nursing in Boston. The episode touches on union busting, patient safety concerns surrounding scab nurses of questionable qualifications, and the impact on hospital operations. They also explore past strike actions, political support, and the importance of transparency in healthcare. And perhaps most disturbing of all, the guest reveals nurses now having to take over chaplain services at night. Thank you to Nurses Uncorked Sponsor, Dr. Lorre Laws PhD, RN.
