About this listen

In this episode of Nurses Are Terrible People Too, we uncover the wild true crime story of Jane “Jolly Jane” Toppan, the forged-credential “nurse” who became one of America’s most prolific female serial killers. From her obsession with autopsies to her deadly experiments with morphine and atropine, Jane poisoned patients, friends, and even her landlords—all while keeping an unsettlingly cheerful vibe.

Join the nurses as they break down how a trusted caregiver turned into a medical murderer hiding in plain sight. Perfect for fans of true crime, serial killers, and nurses who kill.
