Finding the Heart of Hospice One Nurse’s Journey

How does one get into the field of hospice? For today's guest Helen Bauer, the journey started when a friend encouraged her to look into a nursing position where she worked. On Helen's first day doing visits with another nurse, the patient died in the home. After this experience Helen knew that she would spend the rest of her career in hospice care.

Tune in to this episode of the Share Your Story podcast where Helen shares what she's learned in her time in hospice both professionally, and also personally after experiencing it from the role of a family member during her father-in-law Charles's end of life and death.
