Andrea Reynolds, RN, "Life and Death, That's Where She'll Be"

12/05/24 • 66 min

No Really (really), Andrea Reynolds is fine!
Andrea brings her unique journey into nursing. Andrea has a passion for taking on challenges in this field, and is fascinated by complex procedures and machines. She works as an ECMO Primer (we are delighted to learn what this job entails!) and does not back away from difficult situations. She shares her ability to cope with the complex nature of this job, and shares her beliefs around death and life. She has a contagious laugh and a buoyant spirit...she's just fun to talk with! Also, she's a wonderful singer who did sing for us...but sadly we can't share this because we can't afford the rights to the songs until we get more paid subscribers, come on people! Please enjoy Andrea - and Andrea, thanks for all the good work.

Jen Smith, LCSW, APHSW-C, "When Grief Work Comes to Work”

Send us a text

Thanks to Palliative Care Social Worker, Jen Smith, for engaging us in the first episode of Season 2 for, "No Really, I'm Fine."

Not only is Jen a joy to talk to (and work with), she is also deeply insightful, caring, and takes on her work with passion and kindness.

Jen shares insight into how she navigates this challenging work while also suffering a tragic personal loss. This is a heavy experience that is sadly shared by many people who work in health care and find themselves asking, "how do I come back?"

Thank you, Jen, for your vulnerability and your commitment to the important work of healthcare, even in the middle of personal loss and grief.
