Colton’s back with the latest nurse news you need to know:

• A patient with MS was left behind in an empty clinic. Alone. No phone. No staff. This one’s a PSA for everyone in healthcare—check your rooms.
• A Colorado nurse wins $20 million after being falsely charged and racially targeted at work. The details? Absolutely infuriating—and a major win for justice. Slay, Joppy.
• The plague is back, again. A camper near Lake Tahoe tests positive. Flea bites. Enough said.
• Epic’s teaming up with Microsoft to roll out new AI tools for both patients and providers. Colton’s asking the real question: Where’s our AI charting assistant for nurses?!
