Episode 4 - Walking Each Other Home: A Hospice Nurse's Guide for Caregivers
What does it really mean to care for someone at the end of life? In this episode, we sit down with Registered Nurse Jean Jennings who has over 40 years of experience working in hospice care for both pediatric and adult patients. From practical advice to emotional support, she offers gentle guidance for caregivers navigating one of life’s most sacred and challenging journeys.
Whether you're currently caring for a loved one or simply want to better understand the holistic support system that hospice programs offer, this conversation is filled with compassion, heart, and hope.

Jean Jennings, RN began her nursing journey over 40 years ago supporting chronically ill children and families. After her own rare ovarian germ cell cancer diagnosis and treatment (only 5 other women in the US had it at that time!), she transitioned to the hospice side of care as a staff RN for 27+ years. Thank you Jean for your support of so many families when they needed it most. You are a gift to this world. Also, congratulations on your recent retirement!
Thanks for tuning in and we'll see you next week!
