  • So thrilled about this!

    Wonderful first episode. Very excited about how this can reach nurses as we are on the go! I would personally be interested in participating with any need for perspective on any topics related to resilience in palliative nursing or Caring for Veterans with serious illness. Keep up the amazing work!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 60 - Breath, Boundaries, and Letting Go: Ventilation Discontinuation in Rural Long-Term Care
Q: What did you learn from it all? What do you hope that our listeners hear as we end?
Key takeaways include that palliative care can reduce suffering and improve decision-making in rural settings when teams work across disciplines, engage families early, and honor patient wishes; time and structure help, and building partnerships with palliative care can facilitate smoother transitions to comfort-focused care.
Ep. 60 - Breath, Boundaries, and Letting Go: Ventilation Discontinuation in Rural Long-Term Care
Q: What was their pushback? Kind of what was the initial response when you guys said, this is what we want to do and we want to do it here?
The team found strong alignment within an organization that already valued palliative and hospice care; the pushback was mitigated by shared culture and the facility's willingness to enable home-based end-of-life procedures, supported by interprofessional collaboration and leadership.
Ep. 60 - Breath, Boundaries, and Letting Go: Ventilation Discontinuation in Rural Long-Term Care
Q: Can one of you tell us, I know there's two cases, can one of you guys give us a synopsis of what that was, what it looked like, how it felt?
The two cases illustrate how palliative care adapted to rural, resource-limited settings, with careful planning, symptom management, and ongoing goals-of-care conversations leading to ethically sound ventilator discontinuation and comfort-focused transitions, even with logistical challenges like coordinating equipment, medications, and staffing across distant teams.
Ep. 47 - HPNA in DC - Advocacy on Capitol Hill
Q: What are the specific HPNA policies we need to know about and how do we get involved?
HPNA has a three-bucket policy framework: strengthening the nursing workforce; improving patient access to quality hospice and palliative care (including telehealth flexibilities and education); and supporting research and Title 8/NINR funding. Listeners can join the Advocacy Network, sign up for updates, and participate in calls to action like co-sponsoring Title VIII reauthorization.
Ep. 47 - HPNA in DC - Advocacy on Capitol Hill
Q: Sarah, define advocacy. What does it look like on a day-to-day basis?
Advocacy is part of a nurse's daily work; it involves telling your clinical story to policy makers, engaging with legislators, and using tools like an Advocacy Network to communicate and influence decisions that affect patient care.
