Apple Podcasts5NurseTDuckUnited States9 months ago - Commute inspo✨
I started listening to GeriPal regularly as a way to get in an inspired mindset during the commute to my job as a hospital PC social worker. My mom was a nurse practitioner in home based primary care at the VA and she started listening too. We had such great conversations about her work that I never would have heard, and it allowed her to be a mentor as well as a mom.
