Today we chat with the remarkable Donation Specialist Nurse Georgie Callaghan.

I had a wonderful chat with Georgie about her background as an intensive care nurse and how her experience in this specialty has allowed her to work within organ donation. We discuss her role in assisting families in making the often heart-rending decision to donate a loved one’s organs due to many differing circumstances. We also chat about how donating can help so many people through life-threatening medical conditions.

Georgie and I talk about how this role can take a toll both mentally and physically on nurses within this specialty of organ donation and the importance of self-care and tenderness to self as a nurse in her position. This is a beautiful chat about the gift of life families can give others when they themselves are going through heartbreaking situations.
