A Day on the Road with a Visiting Nurse
from Rumble Strip · host Erica Heilman, VNA
Home health and hospice nurses provide all kinds of healthcare to people in their homes...day and night, and in mud and snow. I knew of these folks because I met some of them after my father came home from the hospital. A nurse came to help with his medications. A VNA therapist came to give him physical therapy. But I wasn’t really aware of these nurses and therapists UNTIL my family really needed them, and I expect there are a lot of people out there like me. So this is a show about the nurses who travel, and what their days are like, and what they know about this place because of the work they do.
