3 SEP 2021 · Today Sheila Wilson’s interview is with Debra Falzoi, Debra educates employees and validates their experiences so they can take back their dignity. She started Dignity Together, providing coping services and resources for workplace abuse targets.
We spoke about the healthcare workers and how hard it had to be for them to be working the shifts they were working without getting the breaks they needed, the number of patients they had, and the lack of staff. The nurses were at a disadvantage they didn’t have the correct personal protective equipment to protect themselves.
We are hoping with Debra’s resources, some nurses can find some comfort from the horrendous time they spent treating the very ill patients that were in their care. Workplace abuse comes in many ways.

4 AUG 2021 · Do you remember why the Nurses went on Strike with St Vincent Hospital?
Sheila Wilson’s interview today with Beckett Augat, R.N. at St. Vincent Hospital. Sheila and Beckett talked about the main reason that the Nurses went out on strike for the safety of the Patient.
We must understand the Main Reason the Nurses went out on Strike. As the strike continues, things will be said, you know, he said she said and you lose the real reason for something that happened such as this strike with the Nurses and St Vincent Hospital.
The nurses are responsible for too many patients and it isn’t safe for the patients! Patient ratios were getting too high and could leave the patient in jeopardy. Many of the striking nurses have lost faith and trust in the administration. These nurses have been on strike for 147 days so far! Negotiations will continue Monday, August 2, 2021, we wish success to the Nurses on the Negotiations with St. Vincent Hospital and for wanting to take care of their patients the correct way!

24 MAY 2021 · This healthcare workers assault changed her life in a heartbeat
Today Sheila Wilson interviewed a healthcare provider Kim. Kim states she was assaulted by a patient while she was working her shift. During the conversation she stated doesn’t remember everything about the assault but she does remember the patient slamming her head on the table, passing out, and being dragged by two patients to another room. The incident itself didn’t sound like it lasted a long time but the aftermath of this assault is still going on. She spoke of the struggles of having to deal with physician appointments, workman compensation, and many other agencies.
There seems to be no end to the problems that Kim is having. Kim has no support from her hospital or guidance from the court system. This happens to many nurses that do not have any support. Providing a picture before the incident and after the incident

22 MAY 2021 · Sheila Wilson's Guest is Beckett Augat a nurse that worked in the Emergency room. She also is a Member and Representative of the Massachusetts Nursing Association. Beckett has been on this show before and shared with us the issues that she and all the nurses are dealing with in the hospital she has worked in for years. She has been on strike for 9 weeks, walking the sidewalks in front of St. Vincent’s hospital with hundreds of other nurses, community members, and friends. They are striking for the hospital to provide more staff. The nurses are taking care of too many patients and this makes it unsafe for the patient and themselves. She mentions negotiations aren’t going well. They have spent hours sitting at the negotiation table with no solutions. The hospital has put out a full-page ad in the newspaper to hire more nurses instead of thinking about the issues of lack of safe staffing.
3 MAY 2021 · In this interview, ER Nurse Beckett Augat discusses her meeting with members of the hospital administration and MA. Nursing Assoc. (MNA) Nurse’s Union. The nurses have sent 600 unsafe staffing forms with no response from the hospital administrations. The nurses need more staff to give good care. Their nursing ratios are too high !. The nurses have been on strike for 8 weeks. Beckett spoke that negotiations didn’t go well. When MNA asked about more staffing Members of the Hospital Administration response was they are taking back the money that was offered. Members of the Hospital Administration don’t seem to understand what goes into taking good care of patients. Beckett also discussed the “one patient law”. If a patient comes in and is seriously ill and needs a critical care bed that patient is assigned a nurse, it is the only patient that nurse has until this patient gets stable. Unfortunately, this is not the case in the Emergency room where the staffing ratios are higher.
This is an interview that the public needs to hear. This Strike is for Safe Patient Care Not MONEY as it is led to be Believe in the Media!
