An Interview with Beth Cavenaugh, Hospice and Palliative Care Nurse and Author of ‘The Pleasure and Pain of Nursing’

On today's show I interview https://www.bethcavenaugh.com/ (Beth Cavenaugh), a Certified Hospice and Palliative Care nurse about her new book that she co-authored, 'https://www.amazon.com/Power-Pain-Nursing-Self-Care-Compassion-ebook/dp/B09NCFMVYZ/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=power%20and%20pain%20of%20nursing&qid=1639767288&sr=8-2 (The Pleasure and Pain of Nursing - Self-Care Practices to Protect and Replenish Compassion.') The book offers "the nurse's toolkit to stay grounded, tend to yourself with kindness, and minimize professional burnout." This is a fantastic book that should be in every nurse's break room. Beth talks about her thoughts on nursing, hospice nursing, and how the pandemic has affected our profession. Also, she gets into her nursing trajectory, and where and how she finds joy in hospice nursing. As a reiki provider, Beth shares some treasures from that very specific type of energy work. I'm excited for you to listen to this episode, feel validated, and maybe find some tools to protect your energy and your practice!
