Thursday May 13, 2021

This week, Tina is joined once again by Nurse Jessica Sites. Nurse Jessica is one of the internet's favorite nurses with all of her funny videos on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.

Tracy McCarter is a nurse practitioner who was in an abusive relationship when she finally got the courage to leave her husband. One night, he showed up at her apartment and now Tracy is in prison awaiting trial for murder after defending herself.
