In September 2021, the Centre for Education and Research on Aging (CERA) in collaboration the Gerontological Nurses of BC, launched its first podcast to share the unique, uplifting, and sometimes challenging experiences of the diverse group of practitioners involved in gerontological nursing. The podcast: Gero Nurses: Tales from the front, has now released three episodes.
Episode 1 – In this inaugural episode, get to know the hosts Lillian Hung and Shelley Canning, their respective backgrounds, and what they want to achieve with this podcast.
Episode 2 – In our first “proper” episode of Gero Nurses, we talk with Ian Li, who takes us through the story of how he got into nursing, how that evolved into working with older patients, and what he sees as a gerontological nurse’s role in the future and the possibilities associated with new innovative technologies.
Episode 3 – In our third episode, Lillian and Shelley chat with Karen Pickford after her shift in acute care. Karen shares with us how she got into gerontological nursing before discussing some of the issues related to caring for hospitalized older patients during the COVID-19 pandemic.
