Living Your Legacy · How a Nurse Became the Voice for Vulnerable Patients · 1 Jul 2026 podcast

Um, usually it's all medical record.

It all should be documented.

And when it's not, I can find those areas and find the regulations that were breached.

Is how I go about it.

Because a lot of the elderly population does have dementia that is victimized by abuse.

So early on in my career, I took care of my own grandmother and I moved her from Indiana to Iowa where I was working so that I could take care of her, but also watch over her care.

And it changed my mindset, um,

because I wasn't only the caregiver, I was also the family on this side of the fence.

So it made me understand what these people need and made me appreciate the care that I was giving.

So if I expected a certain amount of care for my own grandmother,

I shouldn't give any less to somebody else's grandmother.

Yes.

There's a really heavy patient load.

It can burn the nurses out or they can't get everything done in a certain amount of time.

So there is a lot of that, especially now more than there was 20 years ago.

I do, I think it was emphasized during COVID because the shortage was so much more sudden when COVID hit.

So many nurses left the field suddenly.

I think you can find good care anywhere, but you have to be on top of their care.

You have to know what's going on and you have to be involved.

Because a lot of times when the families aren't involved, that's when things start slipping through the cracks because then nobody knows.
