This story has garnered national media attention over the last couple of decades, and it continues to shock audiences. Yates, a nurse in Texas, gained notoriety when she drowned her five children, one by one, in the bathtub of her suburban Houston home. 

Our Good Nurse segment focuses on the tragic story of June Onkundi, a psychiatric nurse practitioner in North Carolina, and why safety reform is needed to protect healthcare professionals.
