Compassion Satisfaction in Nursing | ETS07 End the Silence - Stories of Nurses

Today I am joined by Beth Cavenaugh, nurse of 25 years, with the last 15 of them spent working in a hospice home helping people walk through the last days of their loved ones life.  As with any line of nursing, some days are heavy and bring with them an impact that seeps into every aspect of her life. A realization she didn't come to until well into her career.

Join us as we dig into the darker side of this journey we all call life and talk about the effects it has on the medical staff who choose to walk with people in their last days.

About the Guest:  
Beth Cavenaugh, RN, BSN, CHPN knows all too well what nurses are up against, not only during this overwhelming era, but always. With over twenty-five years in internal medicine, short stay surgery, and hospice care, she understands firsthand that compassion in health care can sometimes be elusive.

In collaboration with Dr. Dominic Vachon, an expert in the science of compassion, and MJ Murray Vachon, a counselor with over 40 thousand hours of experience, Beth helps nurses develop, strengthen, and maintain compassion in their career. Her new book, The Power and Pain of Nursing, aims to arm both new and seasoned nurses with the tools necessary to care for themselves in the face of one of the most demanding professions in the world.
