TCP: E01 Hospice Nurse Penny

Welcome to our very first episode of Dying To Tell You: The Caring Perspective, where Cody sits down with healthcare professionals to hear their personal stories about caring for people who are dying. It’s a weekly audio and video series, so be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode!

This week, Hospice Nurse Penny shares her experience with a patient whose spirit had seemingly left them but whose body was still there "doing the work of dying." This moment changed forever how Penny approached her patients, her practice, and even her own belief in the afterlife.

Penny is a nationally certified hospice and palliative care registered nurse with over 17 years of experience who has created a massive and caring community on social media since starting during the pandemic. You can find her on most social platforms under the handle @hospicenursepenny.

And she now has a book out! You can (and should) order her book—Influencing Death: Reframing Dying for Better Living—from any online seller, including from our good friends The Epicurean Vagabonds’ bookshop storefront!
