I appreciate you for posting your day-to-day as a Hospice RN Case Manager. I'm still a new nurse and I realized that I hated working inpatient acute care in the hospital setting. Presently, I'm trying to decide between job offers - outpatient clinic and hospice rn case manager.
I really appreciate you documenting your journey!! I have been interviewing and receiving job offers from hospice companies, I’m so ecstatic to start this ❤️
Congratulations! Don’t be afraid to ask for help or let them know you feel overwhelmed. There have been times when I was afraid to ask for help, but they’re always a phone call away
Hey Krizia! I know you got your job fresh out of school! I’m curious t know did your position prefer or require experience ? I’m in school now 1 more semester left and I’m curious to know my chances of getting a hospice nursing job/case management as a new grad nurse
Hey! The only experiences I had was healthcare administration and working as a CNA in the hospital. During the interview, I showed them I was eager to learn and they loved it! Also, after applying, I’d reach out to them personally by email or calling to increase your chances. Home health is also another option! They hire new grads more easily than hospice.
This question has been an ongoing internal struggle for me! Lol I love the flexibility of hospice, being out in the field, seeing the same patients every week and always having the weekends off. In school I wanted to do acute care and end up in the ICU. But so far I’m happy with what I’m doing. I did apply to new grad programs in hospitals and have been having a hard time getting an interview. I know some hospitals who offer new grad programs for those with experience and if I want to pursue a position in the hospital, I still have options!
