I recently came across Dora Loun's LinkedIn profile, and her bio as a stem cell transplant nurse piqued my interest. However, when I had a conversation with her, I realized that what I thought she did and what she actually does are vastly different.
Dora's experience in critical care nursing provided her with the perfect foundation for caring for some of the most severely ill patients. I usually ask my guests to walk me through a typical day in their life as a nurse, but Dora took a different approach.
She instead described what her patients go through before, during, and long after a stem cell transplant. This was an intelligent move because hearing about the patients' hopes and dreams for the future, anxieties about the treatment, physical ailments from the medication's side effects, the isolation of loneliness, and the bond they form with their nurses gave me a deeper insight into Dora's work. And Dora's work entails providing hope for the future, care for the present, and comfort when time has run out. In the five-minute snippet: She’s going to need a lot of coffee.
