#EP3: Dementia Care Is Nursing Care

In this Episode Marion Kyner will explain what she saw serving many years in extended care communities and comparing it to what she is doing now by providing Nursing Students with a better understanding of the journey experienced by people living with Dementia. The highlight is the amazing positive response when Nursing Students have experiential training instead of just didactic dementia training.
