EP 107: Medical Drafts and Nursing History Through Wartime

In this episode of Nurses Uncorked, Nurse Erica discusses the potential for a medical draft of healthcare professionals in the event of a national emergency. Current global events create uncertainty in the healthcare landscape. She explores the historical context of nursing during wartime, particularly during World War II. The episode also touches on the Healthcare Personnel Delivery System (HCPDS) standby plan and exceptions, exemptions and postponements. The Enema Award highlights a recent case that raises concerns about accountability and the justice system.
