<p>Claire talks about her new job and the pressure to not be sick. They discuss the necessity of self-defense, especially as womxn (though it's completely unfair). (Check out <a href= "https://www.womensselfdefenseboston.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">THIS LINK</a> if you're in Boston and interested in classes.) Alaina shares about her recent advocacy work with the <a href="https://www.coloradopsych.org/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Colorado Psychological Association</a>. They discuss the RaDonda Vaught Case (sources below), in which a nurse accidentally administered the wrong drug to a patient and faces years in prison. They talk about what systems have failed to enable this tragic event and the implications of the verdict. Keep advocating for yourselves out there and practice self-compassion. Claire recommends journaling each day to process and express gratitude.</p> <ul> <li><a class="waffle-rich-text-link" href= "https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2022/03/25/1088902487/former-nurse-found-guilty-in-accidental-injection-death-of-75-year-old-patient"> https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2022/03/25/1088902487/former-nurse-found-guilty-in-accidental-injection-death-of-75-year-old-patient</a></li> <li><a class="waffle-rich-text-link" href= "https://www.cbsnews.com/news/radonda-vaught-nurse-guilty-death-charlene-murphey-wrong-drug/"> https://www.cbsnews.com/news/radonda-vaught-nurse-guilty-death-charlene-murphey-wrong-drug/.</a></li> <li><a class="waffle-rich-text-link" href= "https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2022/03/28/nurs-m28.html">https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2022/03/28/nurs-m28.html</a></li> </ul>
