In this episode I have the distinct pleasure of interviewing Tania. She has over a decade of weekend on-call experience. This interview is filled to the brim with practical advice for success with your on-call visits.

Tania shares with us how she ended up becoming a hospice on-call nurse and how it works for her family.

We address the 7 following subjects:

1. Establish why you are making the visit with the family
2. Identify the type of visit (Only 3 real categories)
3. Car Stock Ideas
4. Documentation
5. How to separate family from work on the weekends
6. How to handle challenging environments
7. Tania’s favorite resource for families

My two favorite quotes from the interview.

”Sometimes, you end up where you need to be,” and ”No visit is ever wasted.”

My favorite part of this interview was the very end. Tania shares with us how she uses Barbara Karnes’ Blue Book for her families when she visits. This is the most powerful and intentional use of this book I have ever seen. I plan to implement this strategy starting this very week!

As always don’t be afraid to reach out to me personally should you have any questions or show requests.
