🩵 Meet Our Nurse: Briana🩺

• Years in nursing: 8️⃣

• Years in hospice: 7️⃣

•Favorite part of hospice: Being trusted to walk patients and families through one last journey of life-I love being able to take the fear and uncertainty that is usually present and turn it into moments of peace, comfort, and closure as patients transition to their forever home.

•One word that describes me: Tenacious

•Favorite snack/drink on the road: Charli with Cold Foam from Dunkin Donuts

•Advice for families/caregivers: Remember to give yourself grace along the way. This journey is literally once in a lifetime-and it can be heavy, emotional, and deeply personal. There will be moments where you question yourself, feel exhausted, or wonder if you’re doing enough. It’s important to remember that if you are trying, you are. Your presence, your love, and your willingness to simply be there and try is all your loved one could ask for…and always take an opportunity to say “I love you”-you will never regret it.

✨ Thank you, Briana, for the compassion and comfort you bring to our patients and families each day.
