[Ep 26] When Your Friend is Sick: A Conversation about Encouragement in Health Settings with BriAnne Bell

from Journal Gently: Healing with God through quiet reflection, honest conversations, and gentle journaling · host Kari Bartkus - Love Does That

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? 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, partnering with a nurse to care for them, 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. Are you ready? Let's dive in.
