In this episode, we explore the profound impact of Kelli Anspach MSN, CV-BC, NPD-BC, CHPN®'s thriving and sustainable training program, which has successfully trained more than 1,000 hospital nurses over the past 10 years through the End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium (ELNEC) program, founded by Betty Ferrell PhD, MSN, CHPN®. By providing nurses with the essential skills and knowledge to lead compassionate palliative care conversations, this initiative empowers staff to facilitate critical "goals of care" discussions with patients and families. In this episode, Kelli and Brett discuss how this training not only enhances collaboration with palliative care teams but also drives improved patient satisfaction and better overall care outcomes. Additionally, the conversation takes a closer look at the return on investment (ROI) for hospitals and demonstrates how training nurses across all service lines is a cost-effective strategy to elevate patient care, boost nurse confidence, and foster a more supportive health care environment. With the right education, staff can empower frontline nurses across various serious illness service lines to make a lasting, positive impact on patient care. HPNA is proud to partner with Betty Ferrell and City of Hope to offer virtual ELNEC Train-the-Trainer courses twice per year.

“What you teach patients about that the side effects may be somewhat different, because it's more of a regional treatment with less systemic toxicities, so it's teaching patients about the drugs, the side effects, and the actual procedure itself,” Lisa Hartkopf-Smith, MS, RN, AOCN®, CHPN, advanced practice nurse at OhioHealth Center in Columbus and ProMedica Cancer Institute in Toledo, OH, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a discussion about the oncology nurse's role in intra-arterial chemotherapy administration.

Highlights From Today's Episode “Intra-arterial chemotherapy has actually been in existence over 70-plus years. It's been around for a long time. There are case reports in the literature as early as 1950 of intra-arterial chemotherapy, one specifically being giving nitrogen mustard, of all things, interactively through a catheter for the treatment of Hodgkin lymphoma.” TS 1:43 “Retinoblastoma is a common indication at this point in time for intra-arterial chemotherapy and has very good success rates. Intra-arterial chemotherapy is also used in liver cancers, whether it's an unresectable liver metastasis from adenocarcinoma of the colon or it's unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, as an another example where it's used. And it can also be used in hepatocellular or HCC carcinoma.” TS 6:36 “Some of the things, like pretreatment, things that the nurse has to look for in any of those are labs and particularly clotting times. You know, to make sure that a PT and an INR and a platelet count was drawn because this patient is going to have a catheter in their artery and frequently will have heparin, so we need to make sure you know what that is.” TS 8:22 “When you're pulling your drug information, your patient drug information sheets, it may not be appropriate to give the Adriamycin® teaching sheet from OncoLink or ChemoCare or ONS because that's generally the side effects of systemic treatment. Whereas if it's going to be given intra-arterially, they are probably not going to have hair loss and mouth sores, and their blood counts may not be affected.” TS 10:36 “In some cases, the nurse may be actually administering the medication, and in other cases they're not going to be actually administering it. So, if you have the situation where that intra-arterial procedure is done, like within the operating room or interventional radiology, then typically the radiologist or another physician will be administering it, but the RN may be in the room. It's often not a chemotherapy-qualified RN, it's often interventional radiology RN, so this is really a group effort between oncology nurses and those interventional radiology nurses and operating room nurses.” TS 12:03 “But in that case, as far as administration, again, it will probably be the physician, but where the nurse can play the role is with all those steps of verification. So, the dual verification process for chemotherapy needs to not just apply when you're giving it ID and an infusion center or inpatient. But it needs to happen in those off sites like interventional radiology in the operating room. So, the nurse in this suite can work and be part of that dual verification process, you know, comparing the orders with the drug and the patient identifiers. The nurse in that type of situation, in interventional radiology or operating room, can help ensure that safe handling occurs because those employees and physicians may not be as familiar with it. So, making sure that you have the PPE gowns the gloves goggles in the correct ways to dispose of it in those suites.” TS 12:43 “With time, just as it would with a venous port, that catheter can move out of place. So, even with the implanted pumps I was mentioning before, those catheters can move, and so we don't routinely check placement of the tip. What can happen is if the tip moves into another place, the patient will have those high doses of chemotherapy going systemic and will experience more side effects.” TS 19:22 “Some part of the adverse reactions could be related to the catheter or the pump itself, and then some of the adverse reactions are related to the drug itself.” TS 20:06 “So, other things that can happen with catheters and pumps, whether they're temporary or permanent, is always the risk for hemorrhage because it's in an artery. So, if something breaks or some tubing becomes disconnected, then the patient could hemorrhage. So, it's important that everything is always lured locked, connections taped, and that is being checked frequently to make sure that everything is tight and secure so that there's not that risk for hemorrhage from a catheter, an IV tubing, or needle becoming disconnected.” TS 21:11 “I honestly think this entire topic is something that's not discussed much, and I wish people knew more about it. I also wish people knew more about one of the areas of this topic—hepatic chemoembolizations, also called TACE [trans-arterial chemoembolization]. There are a lot of patients out there that are getting this in different locations, different hospitals, parts of the country, but because we typically are working in infusion centers are impatient areas, we are often not that knowledgeable about it because it happens somewhere else in interventional radiology or the OR. But our patients are affected by it, and we need to know more about it.” TS 26:55

In this episode, we welcome Shari Alton, ADN RN, CHPN and Deb Bershad, BSN, RN, CHPN, to talk about Death Cafe in the Phoenix Chapter of HPNA. Deb and Shari speak on how Death Cafe encourages open discourse about death and dying for healthcare professionals and how to get involved. About Shari: Shari Alton is an ADN RN, CHPN with 45 years of experience in the nursing field. Shari started as a CNA in 1978, then became an LPN and graduated from RN school in 1983. Her background includes inpatient Med-Surg, Ortho, Post-Partum and Nursery, Chemical Dependency and Adult Psychiatry and Endoscopy. For the last 20 years, Shari has worked at Hospice of the Valley, in Phoenix, Arizona, as an RNCM in Home Hospice. Currently, Shari is the President of the Phoenix Chapter of the Hospice and Palliative Nurses Association. She is passionate about Death Café and has benefitted tremendously from it. About Deb: Deb Bershad is a nurse with diverse experience. She has worked most nursing positions available in the acute care hospital setting. She spent 17 years in the acute care setting, until burnout took its toll. She left the field and found her most rewarding and challenging work to date. For the next ten years, she worked as a teacher, facilitator, and Professional Development Coach. Personal tragedy prompted a 3-day retreat in which she re-clarified her goals and passion in life. This led to her return to nursing, where she found new pride, purpose, and meaning in her life as a nurse. Some of her most rewarding work has come in her latest role, as a Hospice nurse.
Ep.66 Embracing Cannabis Treatment for Hospice Patients with Megan Mbengue BSN, RN, CHPN Have you ever considered cannabis as part of your loved one's treatment for their end of life? If not, this episode with Megan Mbengue has all the necessary information. Cannabis may have a role in hospice care for symptom management and improving the quality of life for some patients near the end of life. Products containing both THC and CBD have been used by some hospice patients to help manage pain, especially when other pain medications are not effective or cause undesirable side effects. However, Megan advises that this kind of treatment should be approached with caution, fully considering legal, medical, and ethical factors, and always under healthcare professionals' guidance. Megan Mbengue, BSN, RN, CHPN, is the Founder & CEO of Trusted Canna Nurse. She started Trusted Canna Nurse when she realized there were very few medical professionals well-versed in cannabis and CBD, much less someone who knew how to navigate a dispensary. She has been a nurse for over ten years, specializing in oncology, Labor & delivery, and, most recently, hospice & palliative care. Megan has received national certifications in all three specialties and is currently working towards a Master of Science in Medical Cannabis Therapeutics. Megan has done various speaking engagements and received various awards (read about them here). Additionally, Megan is an active member of the following professional organizations: Society of Cannabis Clinicians, Cannabis Nurses Network, and American Cannabis Nurses Association. Tune in!

As of 2022, it was the most researched drug worldwide. [02:48] Generally, hospice patients can benefit greatly from cannabis treatments in managing the end of life symptoms. This may include managing pain, inflammation leading to the pain, pain perception, and bringing the pain down without sedating the patient as opioids do. [11:44] Terminal agitation is one of the hardest to manage; of all the end-of-life symptoms. [11:56] As somebody approaches their end of life, gaining peace with themselves, their belief system, and others is always golden.

Highlights From Today's Episode “The primary purpose of a certification is an assessment. . . as it's related to oncology nursing, certification evaluates mastery of knowledge and skills required to competently provide specialized oncology care. A certificate program is different. . . . These types of programs are usually short, non-degree–granting programs that provide instruction and training to aid participants in acquiring knowledge, skills, and competencies.” Timestamp (TS) 02:34 “I find that nurses who achieve certification often report an increased feeling of personal accomplishment and satisfaction, and I see right away that increased confidence they have after they've passed their certification. They believe that certification validates specialized knowledge, and it gives them a strong commitment to the profession.” TS 06:09 “The personal confidence and knowledge that the nurse attains from that certification, I do believe, leads to that improved communication and improved patient outcomes. Certification can also promote recognition from peers, and that recognition promotes professional autonomy, which in turn enables the oncology nurse to take on more leadership roles . . . and gives nurses the confidence to speak up and advocate for their patients.” TS 09:37 “Certification increases nurses' knowledge, it ensures that they are up to date on cancer care, and it helps them to be prepared to effectively manage symptoms associated with cancer and cancer treatments. I think teamwork and being able to use effective therapeutic communication skills while caring for people with cancer is something they will acquire, and not only communicating with people with cancer, but also their caregivers and other members of the interprofessional team.” TS 20:22 “Certification offers both personal and professional awards to nurses. It promotes professionalism and demonstrates a commitment to oncology nursing and accountability for our own professional development. While that's obtaining the initial certification, we can't forget maintaining certification. That's an example of lifelong learning, which ensures our nurses are providing up-to-date and evidence-based cancer care.” TS 24:58

In this special episode of the Nursing Strategies for Success Podcast, I am sitting in the Honolulu Airport waiting for my return red-eye flight to NYC and just simply beaming in gratitude for such an amazing experience! The Nurses Making Waves retreat was a truly transformative experience. The retreat was expertly planned and executed, with a perfect balance of educational sessions, self-care activities, and opportunities for socialization. The speakers were knowledgeable and engaging, delivering insightful presentations that left attendees (me included) feeling inspired and motivated. The retreat was also a wonderful opportunity for nurses to connect with each other, build relationships, and share experiences. The atmosphere was welcoming and supportive, with everyone genuinely excited to be there and to learn from each other.In terms of self-care, the retreat offered a range of activities designed to help attendees relax and recharge. From yoga and meditation to nature walks and massages, there was something for everyone. The spa-like setting and the beautiful surroundings only added to the overall experience. Overall, I would highly recommend the Nurses Making Waves retreat to anyone looking to rejuvenate and re-energize. It was a fantastic opportunity to step away from the demands of work and focus on personal growth and professional development. I came away from the retreat feeling refreshed, inspired, and ready to tackle the next challenge.Check out ways to connect with the individuals mentioned in the episode:Elizabeth Bockheim: Elizabeth Bockheim | LinkedInJanet Holliday: Janet Holliday, DD, MSM, MSN, RN, BC-NE, CDP | LinkedInJessica Ann McLallen: Jessica Ann McLallen RN, BSN HN-BC | LinkedInNena Hart: Nena Hart (MSN RN, CDONA, CHPN, CLHP, RAC-CT) | LinkedInMore to Follow:Follow the Nurses Making Waves Community: Nurses Making WavesFollow the National Nurses in Business Association: National Nurses in Business Follow NursesBond & ELEX Conference: NursesBond & ELEX Conference

Highlights From Today's Episode “Medical futility has traditionally been framed as care that can't achieve its stated purpose. For instance, treating myocardial infarction with an antibiotic. There's no way that that medicine is going to fix somebody's heart attack. Often, though, I think it is something that we tend to invoke in our own practice when we feel like the care that we're providing may not be able to achieve our goal for the patient—and I mean our personal goal as opposed to a clinical goal. And from there, moral distress arises.” Timestamp (TS) 02:40 “I think that there's a tremendous opportunity for nurses to also actively participate in that conversation, especially oncology nurses, because we are with patients throughout their continuum of care and work with people for a long time and have more ‘in-the-room-time' with our patients. I think of the nurses who had been giving my own mom her chemotherapy, where they spend so much time in the room with her and talking about her impressions of her care, what she wants, what's important, what's a meaningful result, and we can share that with our physician colleagues.” TS 04:38 “I think it's the question of, ‘Because there is another thing that we can do, should we do it?' That feeling of futility that clenches at our heart, at our guts, that's a signal to us to stop and think, ‘What is the goal of treatment? Whose goal is that? And is what's happening right now aligned with that goal, or have we somehow gone astray?'” TS 08:51 “When futility rears its head in our nursing practice, our first duty to ourselves and our patients is to take a pause. . . . Stop and reflect with a learner mindset on, ‘What it is I'm not seeing in this situation, whose voice is not being heard, what are my assumptions and biases?' And then think about, ‘What's another narrative that I can write about this situation?,' trying to be very mindful of other patients that we've cared for in similar situations where we might be bringing or protecting these other patients onto this current patient.” TS 09:40 “Several years ago, when I was really going through some struggles in the ICU with this issue of futile or potentially inappropriate care, I went to a workshop and learned this mnemonic called GRACE to help clinicians remain compassionate and see what is the ethically appropriate thing to do in really fraught situations.” TS 16:18 “Let's take time, invest time, in learning more about what is futility. Let's invest some time in learning more about how to understand our patient's goals, their family's goals, what their values are. Taking some time to invest in communication training, ethics—if clinical ethics is something that's a particular interest to you—that's a great way to start, but also just really investing in learning how to communicate.” TS 36:18

So many times healthcare workers are focused on life-saving interventions for their patients. But what happens when the goals of care shift to providing comfort care only? What does that really mean? Do you clearly understand the difference between palliative care and hospice care? Do you know what a POLST is? This is a topic we don't talk enough about until we're in those situations. In this episode Nurse Alice speaks with Beth Cavenaugh, RN, BSN, CHPN who knows all too well what nurses are up against, not only during this overwhelming era but always. With over twenty-five years in internal medicine, short stay surgery, and hospice care, she understands firsthand that compassion in health care can sometimes be elusive. She shares her expertise in palliative care and hospice, as well as her new book, The Power and Pain of Nursing, which aims to arm both new and seasoned nurses with the tools necessary to care for themselves in the face of one of the most demanding professions in the world.
For those caregivers dealing with someone suffering from a debilitating or terminal illness, hospice care can be one of the most valuable services to both patient and family. Unfortunately, there is a great deal of misinformation regarding hospice so we decided to tackle this difficult subject in this episode of the Old Nerd in the Gym Fitness Podcast.Hospice is much more than "end of life care" for terminal patients. Services range from palliative, in-home, and in-facility care, to grief counseling and family support. There are more than 5,000 hospice organizations in the United States, many of which are not-for-profit organizations. Our guest for this episode of Old Nerd in the Gym Podcast is Kim Vesey, RN, CHPN, MS, general manager of Ohio's Hospice of Dayton, in Dayton, Ohio. Kim has been a hospice nurse for 37 years, starting into that area of practice only one year out of nursing school. But Kim isn't just a healthcare professional working in the hospice industry. Unfortunately, she's also had personal experience, going through the loss of her husband and daughter. Her experiences personally and professionally have given her insight that helps families make informed choices while maintaining emotional strength and dignity. Hospice care is not something arrived at lightly by patients or families. One of the most difficult aspects of caring for his parents was when Gery Deer's family had to make the difficult decision to involve hospice support. In the case of his mother, he had the support of his father, close cousin, and siblings, as well as adult nieces, to make those choices. But when it came time to care for his father, he made that decision alone - and without hesitation. The benefits of hospice care to ensuring the quality of life and palliative support were invaluable. After his father's death, hospice services included grief counseling, vital to dealing with caregiver survival issues like guilt, grief, and depression. Experiencing loss is challenging for anyone, at any age, but can be especially difficult for young children. Sadness, fear, and loneliness can overwhelm a child who's lost someone close to them. To help grieving children, Kim has written a series of illustrated books, beginning with, "What Cloud Is My Mommy In." Beautifully illustrated by Amy Gantt, the "What Cloud" series deals with the loss of parents, grandparents, and siblings, through the eyes of a child.

Deirdre Won Short is a certified health coach and registered nurse. Deirdre has always worked in “helping jobs:” as a personal trainer, fitness instructor, an international flight attendant, and now as a nurse and coach. Deirde recently decided to combine her interests and funnel them in one direction. From hospice, she took the important life lessons she learned from the dying and crafted them into a way to help the living. From her fitness background, she came to understand that small changes gently and easily implemented have more power than big changes and from being a flight attendant, she learned that people are people, no matter what their background. She has now formed Carriage House Coaching, where she uses her training as a registered nurse and her passion for helping people to coach those with health issues who would benefit from habit and behavior changes. Her coaching programs are designed to help her clients figure out what they really want from their life and then create lasting change slowly, in a safe and supportive environment. She gets her clients out of the habits and behaviors that keep them stuck and into easy habit and behavioral changes that they won't even notice they're doing. And today she's here to tell us how we can start doing that too. Today's Mantra/Affirmations: “Leap at the net will appear” and “you got this, girl.” You can find Deirdre Won-Short at: carriagehousecoaching.com IG: @carriagehousecoaching FB: @carriagehousecoaching
So often in life we find ourselves in situations looking for that glimmer of light to lead the way out of the darkness; as without it we felt lost in our sense of navigation. It's so wonderful when that light appears because it is not only the answer, but our usher and guide, so welcomed. There are times in life we need such a light, a guiding hand to usher us through unfamiliar terrain, one certainly being a terminal diagnosis. It can be scary, feel like a dark place. The options can feel so limited. Joining us to offer Some Light at the End, is Beth Cavenaugh, RN, BSN, CHPN, author of just that book. Beth is a certified hospice and palliative care nurse, Reiki practitioner, and educator with over 14 years of experience in caring for patients at the end of their life. Compassion, patient autonomy, and transparent communication are at the core of her care philosophy. In this incredibly soul-enriching and deeply transparent hour, we discuss the all too familiar reality of grief, the many ways we can create meaningful end-of-life rituals, and we put the spotlight on hospice and how their care provided to patients can maximize quality of life and provide nurturing support for both the individual facing their own passing and their family. Beth shares some of her many experiences with patients such as when the family may be ready for hospice and the patient isn't and vice-versa, defines a “beautiful death,” what the role of being a caregiver is like, how to know when it is time for hospice support and even how the process works to make the decision to accept hospice services and so much more. One thing is certain, more often than not when hospice nurses come into your home, facility or you to theirs, you're going to feel like their “star camper of the week” because they love their patients and they lead with their hearts! Beth's book is a wonderful guide for those seeking Some Light at the End: Your Bedside Guide for Peaceful Palliative and Hospice Care. Beth's experience and wisdom illuminates how we can find peace and beauty in death, instead of exhaustion and fear. Her book offers the empowerment everyone is seeking during the final stages of their beautiful life. You can purchase it on Amazon or her website at www.BethCavenaugh where I invite you to connect with her and learn more about her hospice workshops for groups and individuals, where she demystified death and dying so this powerful moment will be embraced as a normalized and celebrated event. A must-listen power-hour of enlightyYOUment from beginning to end on a topic many of us can personally relate to and of course, know we will eventually face.
