End of Life Insights from Hospice RN Beth Cavenaugh, Episode 100

Hospice nurse Beth Cavenaugh is talking with us today about her passion for end of life care and her book, Some Light at the End. As a Hospice and Palliative Care Certified RN, Beth has 15 years experience in hospice nursing.  In her book Some Light at the End, Beth shares the wisdom she’s acquired through the years working with seriously ill and dying patients.  Her personal story includes end of life care as well through the care of her mother as she journeyed through a lung cancer diagnosis.  Beth was inspired by that personal journey to go into hospice nursing.  Beth recognized the intensity of the experience, calling it a special and holy time for her.  She describes herself as lucky to be involved in hospice care.  Some Light at the End: Your Peaceful Guide for Peaceful Palliative and Hospice care offers readers a gentle and transparent guidebook to caring for dying loved ones.  Watch for her new book The Power and Pain of Nursing coming out in late January 2022!    Connect with Beth here: https://www.bethcavenaugh.com/ Buy her book Some Light at the End by clicking here: https://www.amazon.com/Some-Light-End-Peaceful-Palliative/dp/1733690972 Connect with podcast host Jerry Fenter at [email protected].
