Talking Palliative Care on Bereaved But Still Me Podcast
Sometimes life leads you down random paths to introduce you to interesting people and meaningful experiences. I had a random interaction in a podcasters group on Facebook that earned me a new friend on the other side of the world. I am in the MidWest United States and Michael Liben is a resident of Jerusalem, Israel. How we ended up on the line together talking about nursing at the end of life is just serendipity.
The podcast Bereaved But Still Me is the new incarnation of the podcast Heart to Heart with Michael, a podcast pertaining to the grief felt after loss. Michael invited me on to talk about my experiences as a palliative care nurse, and this is the product of that conversation. Click on the photo below to go to the episode.
I’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Michael and his production crew, Anna and Nancy, for being so hospitable and putting together such a lovely episode about a role I love very much. Please go check out the podcast and subscribe.
This week Adrianne chats with Nurse Margo about aromatherapy use at the bedside, specifically in palliative and end-of-life care. They discuss how aromatherapy is used in the hospital setting, as well as how Margo approached this evidence-based project, and how she helped improve essential oil use on the unit. The moral of Margo’s story however, is that any nurse, regardless of years of experience, can impact bedside practice and contribute in meaningful ways.
