For Joyia Tjaden, nursing isn’t just a job—it’s a calling.

“I absolutely love what I do, and it brings me great fulfillment to be there to help during the final moments of someone’s life,” says Joyia, a hospice RN at Ethos in Grand Forks.

What gives her work deeper meaning is the chance to build relationships with patients and their families. “Getting to know them gives my job a much greater purpose,” she shares.

Joyia recalled a quote that stayed with her: a nurse is often the first and last touch at the start and end of life. “We are the hands that bookend a lifetime,” she says. “To me, that is much more than being a nurse—it is a calling.”

To anyone considering a career in nursing, she offers this encouragement: “Take the first step and try it. And make sure to lean on those around you—the job we do isn’t light, but it is still rewarding.”

What a joy to see these sweet senior pups find their forever home just in time for the holidays. We’re grateful to our own Molly Helm and everyone on the Ethos team who helped Maggie and Neiko begin a new chapter filled with love and companionship.

💖 Gratitude Overflowing Today 💖

We want to extend the biggest, most heartfelt thank you to Molly Helm, Nurse Navigator with Ethos Home Health and Hospice, and to the amazing team at Ethos for their incredible generosity in sponsoring the adoption of Maggie and Neiko.

Ethos chose to sponsor the adoption fee for senior dogs in hopes of giving them the gift of a home for Christmas—and these beautiful bonded girls were the lucky ones. Because of this kindness, Maggie and Neiko will be heading to their forever family this weekend after their final vet appointments.

What a priceless gift: comfort, love, and a home for the holidays. 🐾🎄
This is what community looks like. This is how lives are changed.

From the bottom of our hearts—thank you for making this miracle possible. Our community truly is something special. 💕
