Des Moines, Iowa – August 17, 2010 – Heidi Telpner, an RN with over twenty years’ experience, shares her stories from working as a hospice nurse with you. She describes her work as a labor of love, and with honesty and humor, details the stories of the many patients with which she’s worked. Her writing transcends all the divisions that separate us, and instead, brings us closer to the humbling experience of caring for those in the last stages of their lives.

Available in both print and electronic formats, One Foot In Heaven, will share the various, and yet similar, experiences of the hospice patient, friends, family, and the nurse. This book can be purchased direct from the publisher or from your favorite book seller.
