Hey, my friends. Welcome back to Let’s Encourage One Another.
I don’t know about you, but I always get a little anxious when visiting someone who is sick, especially when they aren’t a close family member. Am I interrupting them? Are they truly up for visitors or are they just saying that? How can I help?
This week, I have a special treat for you as I join BriAnne Bell, a registered nurse with experience working in the ER, and we have a conversation regarding encouragement and care in a health setting.
Topics flow from tips for nurses to connect with their patients while caring for them and how to prevent burnout, to how to visit your loved one in the hospital, including knowing both their preferences for your visit and acknowledging what you yourself can handle. We also talk about partnering with a nurse to care for your friend and turning to a nurse for help processing emotions during difficult times.
This is a shared podcast episode, so BriAnne and I are both sharing this conversation on our podcasts. If you are a nurse or are friends with one, I invite you to check out BriAnne’s podcast, the Passive Income Nurse. And… know how much we appreciate you and what you do. You nurses provide such care for our loved ones. We can’t express our thanks enough. Okay, so let’s dive into this episode with BriAnne.
