EP 64: The National Nurses Honor Guard Funeral Ceremony

In this episode, the Nurses Uncorked podcast discusses the National Nurses Honor Guard with founder, Julia Godby-Murray. The conversation covers the history of the Nurses Honor Guard, the ceremony they perform at funerals, and the emotional impact it has on families and nurses. The funeral ceremony is to honor and pay tribute to nurses who have passed away. It involves wearing the traditional uniform, carrying a lit lamp, reciting a poem, and performing a final call bell for the nurse to be relieved from their service. The Nurses Honor Guard provides a sense of dignity and respect to the nursing profession and offers healing to both families and nurses. Julia also discusses the growth of the Nurses Honor Guard and how interested individuals can find a group in their area. Thank you to our Enema Award Sponsor, Happy Bum Co.
