Nurse Breaks Silence After Being Fired for Reporting Hospital’s Baby Mix Up

A veteran nurse speaks out for the first time after being fired for reporting a shocking baby mix-up at a New Jersey hospital. In this powerful episode of Nurse Converse presented by Nurse.org, host Jana Price sits down with Joyce Fisher, BSN, a seasoned mother-baby nurse who discovered that two newborns had been accidentally switched and breastfed by the wrong mothers. Joyce caught the mistake, followed protocol, and immediately reported it — but days later, she was terminated and reported to the Board of Nursing. Joined by her attorney Matthew Luber, Joyce reveals the emotional, legal, and professional fallout of being punished for doing the right thing — and how her story exposes a growing crisis in healthcare accountability.
