This week, Tina is joined by the always funny and entertaining Nurse Jessica Sites. Together they bring you the story of nurse, Rhonda Orr. Rhonda Orr met her husband Jimmy online in 1998. Jimmy’s parents paid for Rhonda to go to nursing school. By 2003, their marriage was falling apart, but they continued to live in the same house while Rhonda was finished school. One morning, Rhonda awoke and ran to the neighbor’s house screaming for help, saying her house was on fire and her husband was trapped inside. Jimmy used a wheelchair to get around due to a childhood illness that caused his legs to be extremely weak. What really happened that night? 

For the good nurse, story they discuss the nurses at the University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital protesting for safe staffing and fair wages. You will definitely want to stick around for this heated conversation this week!
