In a development that has raised serious questions about transparency and accountability, the Bureau of Prisons has reportedly terminated the employee who exposed Ghislaine Maxwell's preferential treatment while in federal custody. Rather than address why a convicted sex trafficker was receiving unusual accommodations — including a relocation that has never been fully explained — officials chose instead to penalize the individual who alerted the public. The agency's justification rests on claims of “policy violations” and unauthorized communication with the media, a defense that has done little to dispel concerns that the move was designed to suppress scrutiny rather than uphold procedure. For observers, the timing and severity of the response appear less like a personnel issue and more like a concerted effort to control the narrative surrounding Maxwell's conditions.The decision has intensified frustration among survivors, advocates, and members of the public who have demanded answers about how and why Maxwell has been treated differently from other federal inmates. Rather than clarifying who approved her transfer, why she was granted amenities rarely afforded to prisoners, or what internal discussions led to these decisions, the focus has shifted toward silencing the whistleblower. The optics are stark: a system that has repeatedly resisted transparency in the Epstein-Maxwell case now punishing the one person attempting to shed light on it. The unresolved questions remain central: Who authorized the move? What motivated it? And why has the response to legitimate inquiry been discipline instead of disclosure? Until those questions are answered, concerns about a deepening institutional coverup will only continue to grow.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com'source:Nurse is fired after revealing Ghislaine Maxwell's VIP treatment at comfortable new federal prison where she has access to puppy | Daily Mail Online

"Any time the patient hears the word 'cancer,' they shut down a little bit, right? They may not hear everything that the oncologist or urologist, or whoever is talking to them about their treatment options, is saying. The oncology nurse is a great person to sit down with the patient and go over the information with them at a level they can understand a little bit more. To go over all the treatment options presented by the physician, and again, make sure that we understand their goals of care," ONS member Clara Beaver, DNP, RN, AOCNS®, ACNS-BC, manager of clinical education and clinical nurse specialist at Karmanos Cancer Institute in Detroit, MI, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about prostate cancer treatment considerations for nurses.

And the medical oncologists usually are not consulted until the patient is at a greater stage of prostate cancer. I find that it's important to state because a lot of our patients start with urologists, and by the time they've come to us, they're a lot further staged. But once a prostate cancer has been suspected, the patient needs to be staged for the extent of disease prior to that physician making any treatment recommendations. The staging includes doing a core biopsy of the prostate gland. During this core biopsy, they take multiple different cores at different areas throughout the prostate to really look to see what the cancer looks like." TS 1:46 "[For] the very low- and low-risk group, the most common [treatment] is active surveillance. ... Patients can be offered other options such as radiation therapy or surgery if they're not happy with active surveillance. ... The intermediate-risk group has favorable and unfavorable [status]. So, if they're a favorable, their Gleason score is usually a bit lower, things are not as advanced. These patients are offered active surveillance and then either radical prostatectomy with possible removal of lymph nodes or radiation—external beam or brachytherapy. If a patient has unfavorable intermediate risk, they are offered radical prostatectomy with removal of lymph nodes, external radiation therapy plus hormone therapy, or external radiation with brachytherapy. All three of these are offered to patients, although most frequently we see that our patients are taken in for radical prostatectomy. For the high- or very high-risk [group], patients are offered radiation therapy with hormone therapy, typically for one to three years. And then radical prostatectomy with removal of lymph nodes could also be offered for those patients." TS 7:55 "Radiation can play a role in any risk group depending on the patient's preference. ... The types of radiation that we use are external beam, brachytherapy, which is an internal therapy, and radiopharmaceuticals, [which are] more for advanced cancer, but we are seeing them used in prostate [cancer] as well. External beam radiation focuses on the tumor and any metastasis we may have with the tumor. It can be used in any risk [group] and for recurrence if radiation has not been done previously. If a patient has already been radiated to the pelvic area or to the prostate, radiation is usually not given again because we don't want to damage the patient any further. Brachytherapy is when we put radioactive pellets directly into the prostate. For early-stage prostate cancer, this can be given alone. And for patients who have a higher risk of the cancer growing outside the prostate, it can be given in combination with external beam radiation. It's important to note with brachytherapy, it cannot be used on patients who've had a transurethral resection of the prostate or any urinary problems. And if the patient has a large prostate, they may have to be on some hormone therapy prior to brachytherapy, just to shrink that prostate down a little bit to get the best effect. ... Radiopharmaceuticals treat the prostate-specific membrane antigen." TS 11:05 "The side effects of surgery are usually what deter the patient from wanting surgery. The first one is urinary incontinence. A lot of times, a patient has a lot of urinary incontinence after they have surgery. The other one is erectile dysfunction. A lot of patients may not want to have erectile dysfunction. Or, if having an erection is important to the patient, they may not want to have surgery to damage that. In this day and age, physicians have gotten a lot better at doing nerve-sparing surgeries. And so they really do try to do that so that the patient does not have any issues with erectile dysfunction after surgery. But [depending on] the extent of the cancer where it's growing around those nerves or there are other things going on, they may not be able to save those nerves." TS 15:26 "Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone, or LHRH antagonists or analogs, lower the amount of testosterone made by the testicles. We're trying to stop those hormones from growing to prevent the cancer. ... When we lower the testosterone very quickly, there can be a lot more side effects. But if we lower it a little bit less, we can maybe help prevent some of them. The side effects are important. When I was writing this up, I was thinking, 'Okay, this is basically what women go through when they go through menopause.' We're decreasing the estrogen. We're now decreasing the testosterone. So, the patients can have reduced or absent sexual desire, they can have gynecomastia, hot flashes, osteopenia, anemia, decreased mental sharpness, loss of muscle mass, weight gain, and fatigue." TS 17:50 "What we all need to remember is that no patient is the same. They may not have the same goals for treatment as the physicians or the nurses want for the patient. We talked about surgery as the most common treatment modality that's presented to patients, but it's not necessarily the option that they want. It's really important for healthcare professionals to understand their biases before talking to the patients and the family. It's also important to remember that not all patients are in heterosexual relationships, so we need to explain recovery after treatment to meet the needs of our patients and their sexual relationships, which is sometimes hard for us. But remembering that—especially gay men—they may not have the same recovery period as a heterosexual male when it comes to sexual relationships. So, making sure that we have those frank conversations with our patients and really check our biases prior to going in and talking with them." TS 27:16

In this powerful and NEEDED episode, Lindsey interviews Executive Vice President Peter Sidhu, RN, of UNAC/UHCP, one of the top nursing unions in California. Together they dive into the roots of a movement born from “a group of mad nurses” who refused to accept unsafe working conditions — and how that spark grew into one of the strongest healthcare labor organizations in the country.Peter breaks down the early days of UNAC/UHCP, the evolution of its historic labor partnership with Kaiser, and why that partnership looks very different today. We also dig into the upcoming strike by Sharp nurses in San Diego, the deep pay disparities between Northern and Southern California nurses, and the surge of anti-union rhetoric aimed at healthcare workers.Whether you're union, non-union, or somewhere in between, this conversation shines a light on why organized nursing matters now more than ever — for patient safety, workplace standards, and the future of the profession.If you've ever wondered why unions exist, what they actually do, or how nurses can reclaim power in a broken healthcare system, this episode is a must-listen.Follow us on Social: The Guests: @unacuhcp The Pod: @friends.and.enemasThe Host: @scrubhacks

Harrington, author of “Swords Up: Mastering the Weapons of Spiritual Warfare for Today's Christian Woman,” an eight-week Bible study. * Tragic loss: During pregnancy with a son, sensed the Holy Spirit warn she wouldn't keep him; hurricane delayed care; confirmed no heartbeat; experienced palpable peace from God in the hospital. * Aftermath: Peace lifted upon discharge; entered a season of anger and grief; continued attending church though unable to worship; community's faith “washed over” her until she could worship again. * Spiritual vision: Sensed a dark presence opposite God's presence in the hospital, awakening her to real spiritual opposition and the need to fight spiritually. * Defining spiritual warfare: Attacks and distractions that keep believers from their God-given purpose; highly personal to each person's struggles. * Armor of God insights: * Emphasis on knowing Scripture to detect Satan's schemes. * Discovery in Ephesians: “Powers” (exousia) includes “power of choice,” highlighting our daily choices as a battlefield. * All armor pieces work together; two threads tie them: surrender and prayer. * Prayer activates and sustains every piece of the armor; Scripture remains the primary weapon. * Identity: Strengthened by Scripture, prayer, confession, and biblical community; refute lies with God's truth (fearfully made, new creation, royal priesthood). * Personal battlefields: Motherhood, marriage balance, overwhelm, social media comparison; surrendering speech, attitudes, and reactions to God; guarding heart from toxic inputs. * Practical application to pain: * Hope in God's promises (e.g., future restoration and no more tears). * Use Scripture and honest prayer to process grief and anger; God can handle “angry prayers.” * Confession as a powerful, often-overlooked practice to break strongholds. * Tools and resources: “Emergency Toolkit” (free download at jpherrington.com): verses + short prayers for anxiety, anger, loneliness, worthlessness, etc. * Key takeaway: Read your Bible daily. Pair Scripture with persistent prayer and honest confession. This combination reshapes identity, fortifies against spiritual attacks, and transforms how you walk through pain. BLOG INTRO: Author, J Harrington didn't come to spiritual warfare through theory—she was drafted by loss. A military spouse and young mom, Jay describes herself (when in her 20s) as being prickly and performance-driven, a Sunday-only faith wrapped around busyness. She married her high school sweetheart, her husband became a marine and they began their family. They were first blessed with a precious daughter and with J's second pregnancy she prayed for a little boy so that the Harrington name would carry on through the generations to come. But J's life was about to be flipped upside down in a cruel and unpredictable way. God prepared her for the unthinkable when He spoke into her spirit before Hurricane Florence: “Get used to the idea that you don't get to keep your son.” As the hurricane came near, knocking out power even before it came on land…(and then if you remember anything about Florence, the east coast experienced power loss for 2 weeks, some longer)…J became concerned realizing she hadn't felt her baby in a few days. When the hospitals were finally up and running accepting appointments, her fears became a reality when they found no heartbeat. Forced to deliver her son as though everything were normal, she says, the delivery room was thick with peace. Nurses felt it, the custodian felt it—“like a warm hug.” As J prepared to leave the hospital God gave her a heads up on the battle that would be waiting for her. When she walked out of the hospital, the warmth lifted. What followed were “angry prayers,” the kind you don't think you're allowed to pray. J reminded us that God's a big boy, and that He can handle our emotions. I agree because He's been doing that for well over 2000+ years. Even though J could not praise the Lord or pray, she still went to church and it became the place where the faith of others washed over her until her own praise could rise again. Through grief came transformation. J admits that The me before my tragedy, couldn't be used the same way. Loss softened what feistiness had hardened. It also opened her eyes to the battle she believes many Christians ignore: not just demonic opposition, but the daily front-lines of choice. While studying Ephesians 6:12: (“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”) t was the word “powers” that stuck out to her. So she dug into the Greek word and the deeper meaning of “powers” and she found it to mean, authority, yes, but also “the power of choice.” In other words: our decisions can be a battlefield and that really resonated with me. Not only from the view point of experiencing that personally but seeing choices as a daily battle that I face and this of course made me see how important it is to understand spiritual warfare. J's discovery became a book…. Swords Up: Mastering the Weapons of Spiritual Warfare for Today's Christian Woman—an eight-week Bible study she says the Holy Spirit downloaded in minutes after she dared Him to use her pen. The study reframes the armor of God as both defense and weapon, threaded by two essentials: surrender and prayer. “Prayer engages every piece of armor,” We're essentially fighting with one hand tied behind our back if we neglect the Word. I know prayer and surrender seem very weak but isn't that just like God to confound the wise with simple things that reveal themselves as having transformational power? J's challenge for us is simple and fierce: dust off your Bible! Let's listen in to see how we can be equipped to battle all that this life can throw at us with the intention of destroying us even if it's only on the inside. Swords UP ladies, the battle is real.

Rory McGowan talks to Tara Jarrett, a nurse advisor who's been dealing in continence care for 21 years, about how this taboo area of healthcare works and how care homes and hospitals are saving money via standardised training and product usage. They discuss updating our mindset around how we think of continence care, and why we should talk about it more if we have issues around our bladder and believe that we can save money on care.
Sarah Leah Whitson DAWN
On a warm June afternoon in 1868, a 24-year-old woman accepted a glass of lemonade from her nurse at a Geneva boarding house. Within moments, her pupils dilated grotesquely, her heart pounded violently, and reality dissolved into nightmare. That glass of lemonade broke open one of Switzerland's most disturbing criminal cases.SEASON & EPISODE CONTEXTThis is Episode 9 of Foul Play Season 36: "Serial Killers in History," examining murderers from ancient times through the early 1900s. This season explores 15 cases spanning centuries and continents, revealing how serial murder predates modern criminology by millennia.THE CASE SUMMARYBetween 1865 and 1868, Marie Jeanneret worked as a private nurse in Geneva and surrounding areas of Switzerland, moving between respectable boarding houses and private hospitals. Everywhere she went, patients died under mysterious circumstances. Eleven-year-old children. Elderly widows. Entire families.Her method was both calculated and cruel. She used cutting-edge poisons for the 1860s—plant alkaloids like atropine from belladonna and morphine from opium poppies. These substances were so difficult to detect in corpses that she might never have been caught. She offered candy she called "princesses" to children. She served sweetened water to friends. She predicted deaths days before they happened—not because she had medical insight, but because she knew exactly when the poison would finish its work.When authorities finally exhumed the bodies in 1868, they found chemical signatures of murder in decomposing tissue. The trial revealed at least six confirmed murders and perhaps thirty attempted murders. But the verdict the jury reached would create one of criminal history's most profound paradoxes—her case helped abolish the death penalty in Geneva three years later.THE VICTIMSMarie Jeanneret's victims weren't random—they were people who trusted her completely during their most vulnerable moments:Marie Grétillat, 61, hired Jeanneret for what should have been a minor illness. She died in February 1867 after weeks of escalating agony.Sophie Juvet, 58, died in September 1867 at the Maison de Santé hospital where Jeanneret worked as a nurse.Jenny-Julie Juvet, Sophie's daughter, was only 11 years old. She loved candy and trusted the nurse who brought her special bonbons called "princesses." Before she died in January 1868, she begged her family not to let the nurse near her anymore. They thought she was delirious. She wasn't—she knew.Auguste Perrod (around 80), Louise-Marie Lenoir (72), Madame Hahn, Demoiselle Gay, Demoiselle Junod, Julie Bouvier, and Jacques Gros (Julie's father) all died under Jeanneret's care between 1867 and 1868.KEY CASE DETAILSTHE METHOD: Jeanneret used belladonna (deadly nightshade) and morphine as her primary weapons. Belladonna poisoning produces distinctive symptoms: grotesquely dilated pupils, rapid heartbeat, extreme light sensitivity, terrifying hallucinations, and eventually seizures and respiratory failure. Morphine suppresses breathing until victims simply stop inhaling—the death looks peaceful but is actually suffocation.As a nurse, she had legitimate access to these substances and professional cover for every action. She mixed poisons into sweet items—lemonade, sweetened water, candy—because sugar masks the bitter taste effectively. For some victims, she administered lower doses over time, creating slow declines that mimicked natural illness. For others, she used massive doses intended to kill quickly.THE BREAKTHROUGH: The case broke open when Marie-Catherine Fritzgès, 24, survived a belladonna poisoning in June 1868. Her doctor recognized the symptoms immediately and contacted authorities. Police searched Jeanneret's rooms and found bottles of belladonna extract, containers of morphine, and detailed nursing notes documenting every symptom, decline, and death—inadvertently documenting her own crimes.HISTORICAL CONTEXT & SOURCESThe 1860s represented a turning point in forensic medicine. Swiss medical examiners used groundbreaking techniques to test tissue samples for alkaloid compounds in exhumed bodies—finding chemical signatures consistent with belladonna and morphine poisoning. This case marked one of the first instances where forensic medicine played a crucial role in securing a conviction in Switzerland.The trial opened in Geneva in late 1868 with overwhelming evidence: poisoned bodies, survivors' testimony, bottles of poison, and Jeanneret's own nursing notes. On November 19, 1868, the jury returned a stunning verdict—guilty on all counts, but they recommended clemency. Instead of execution, Jeanneret received life imprisonment with hard labor.Three years later, in 1871, the Canton of Geneva abolished the death penalty. Jeanneret's case was cited as a key example—a jury had looked at overwhelming evidence of serial murder and chosen mercy over execution.RESOURCES & FURTHER READINGSwiss criminal history archives maintain extensive records of the Jeanneret case, including original trial transcripts and forensic reports that revolutionized poison detection methods. The case remains a standard reference in medical ethics courses throughout Europe, illustrating the catastrophic consequences of betrayed medical trust.The Geneva State Archives houses original court documents from the 1868 trial. Swiss forensic medicine institutes continue to study the case as a landmark example of early toxicology and the systematic safeguards developed in response to healthcare serial killers.RELATED FOUL PLAY EPISODESIf you found this episode compelling, explore other Foul Play cases involving Victorian-era poisoners and medical professionals who betrayed their sacred trust. Season 36 examines serial killers throughout history, from ancient Rome through the early 1900s, revealing how murder predates modern criminology and how society responded to unimaginable crimes.Each episode of Foul Play combines meticulous historical research with victim-centered storytelling, honoring those whose lives were taken while examining the criminals who took them.THE LEGACYMarie Jeanneret's crimes fundamentally transformed Switzerland's approach to medical safety and criminal investigation. The case exposed critical gaps in poison control, leading to strict measures including detailed record-keeping of sales and mandatory identification checks. Background checks for medical staff became more thorough, references were more carefully vetted, and supervision was enhanced throughout Europe.Perhaps most significantly, Jeanneret's case transformed public consciousness about the nature of evil. The idea that a healthcare professional could systematically murder patients while maintaining an appearance of respectability forced society to confront uncomfortable truths. The poisoner who took at least six lives became part of the movement that saved countless others from execution—the most paradoxical legacy imaginable.ABOUT FOUL PLAYFoul Play examines history's most compelling true crime cases with meticulous research and sophisticated storytelling. Hosts Shane Waters and Wendy Cee explore serial killers from ancient Rome through the early 1900s, focusing on victim-centered narratives that honor the dead rather than sensationalizing killers.

This week's episode is coming to you straight from Huntsville, Alabama with a very real conversation on something so many of us experience but rarely talk about: loneliness. From middle school to my journey as a travel nurse, feeling alone has been a thread in my life. And with the holidays right around the corner, I know this season can bring up a lot, especially for nurses who are working away from home, starting new assignments, or spending the holidays in unfamiliar cities. In this episode, we talk about... – Why loneliness is so common in nursing and travel nursing – The emotional weight of working holiday shifts – Feeling left behind while friends "move on" with partners, families, and traditions – The pressure to work holidays (and why hospitals scheduling you before/after the holiday should be illegal) – Ways I kept myself grounded while on assignment – How to stay connected even when you're physically alone – The mindset shifts and routines that helped me cope – Small traditions that made the holidays feel less isolating – Why courage and travel nursing go hand‑in‑hand I also share honestly about what this season has looked like for me — including navigating loneliness after moving to France — and a tool that's helped me reframe my mindset. If you're a nurse who's ever felt alone during the holidays, I want you to know this; you're not weird. You're not behind. You're not alone. I'll be taking Thanksgiving week off, but I'll be back December 2 with a guest you already know and love. Take care of yourself this season.

Scrubs and Subpoenas: Nursing Scope of Practice - A $150 Million Mistake Part 1 SUMMARY: Scrubs and Subpoenas: Nursing Scope of Practice is a podcast series that explores the critical role of nursing scope of practice in ensuring patient safety and reducing malpractice claims. Through real-life malpractice cases, this series provides insights into the boundaries of nursing responsibilities, the consequences of exceeding or neglecting these boundaries, and actionable strategies to align practice with legal and ethical standards. Each episode serves as a cautionary tale and a guide to fostering accountability, transparency, and excellence in nursing care. In this episode, we dive into the largest malpractice case ever filed against a nurse practitioner. This story begins with a young family NP working alone in a rural, four bed emergency room, caring for a patient rushed in after a syncopal event and a subsequent head injury sustained in the ER. Lack of resources and ineffective protocol blocked proper care for this patient, leading to a catastrophic pulmonary embolism. We dive into the incongruence of court protections for NPs vs. MDs, and the detrimental implications of restrictive practice scopes. Explore the connections between healthcare deserts and poor patient outcomes, and where NPs fit into this complex puzzle. ---Nurses may be able to complete an accredited CE activity featuring content from this podcast and earn CE hours provided from Elite Learning by Colibri Healthcare.
