Day in the Life | Hospice Nurse 

I was at a point where I was about to leave nursing altogether after 10 years of being miserable in big corporate hospitals......then I gave hospice a try and it's the most rewarding job I've ever had. Helping pts and their families through the roughest times in their lives and providing them peace and comfort is rewarding on another level that I had never experienced. It's one of the few specialties in nursing where I can 100% utilize my bedside manner skills and it make a difference.

I just quit after 6 months in a miserable situation. Bullying, high ratios, and high acuity, I was learning nothing as a new grad because they had no techs half the time and we had to do their work too. I was NEVER healthy. Everything from the hospital i would catch and bring home to my child with chronic asthma. I am so relieved so have found a hospice position and I know I have a lot to learn, but am praying they are willing to teach because so far all I'm pretty disappointed by what ive seen. I called to set up my schedule with this hospice and they actually treated me like a human!!!!!! Making sure I would be rested for training, telling me they'd work around my schedule,....making sure I ATE !!!! I almost cried on the phone. I hope I turn out to be a good hospice nurse. I'm so grateful for this opportunity.

I’m in my first semester on nursing school, and I’m 99% sure this is what I want to do.

I’ve been running through jobs as well as a new grad, just got an interview from vita’s home health so I’m really happy I came across this vid!

Thank you for posting

I want to become a hospice nurse so thank you for posting this.

Thank you for such awesome video

I am in my first semester of nursing school - I’m ready to drop out already - hospice has been close to my heart and right now this is the most encouraging I’ve felt to make it through

Thank you for posting! I haven't seen you on RU-vid since before Jameson. It's good to see you again. I just started my fourth and final semester of nursing school and I am hoping my preceptorship is in hospice. I have a lot of personal experience with hospice both from being a CNA as well as walking through pancreatic cancer with my MIL. Your video was helpful. Please post more!

EIGHT patients in ONE day?! Holy moly. I see between 2-4 patients. 4 is a full day. 5 is a busy day for me.

Hey! Very informative video! I’d love to ask you some questions if there was a way for that? Older guy in his 40s, both my parents were on hospice end of life, and thinking of a career change.

❤😊

Did you start off as a CNA? How do you become a case manager?

New subscriber here..I have a lot of questions but 1st question is do friends of the dying family members ask you or tell you they may feel guilty for not being able to see them because they can't see them without breaking down? I have a close friend who is now in hospice and I can't see them without breaking down 😢 plz any help is appreciated 🙏🙏

Hi - Question :) So when you have completed all of your visits for the week what does the rest of the week look like for you? Are you off that many days? I am interested in Hospice Nursing and am curious about how it works

Do you do bed changes etc? If patients are total care do they have someone around the clock to feed/bathe/change?

Hi Ms Boyer...Im a male nurse from thr Philippines...i kinda inspired in the video you made...☺️☺️☺️..i just want to ask what state you are working and what hospice agency is that? Thank you so much

What do you do for the rest of the week since you’re seeing all your patients on Monday? Thanks for this video!

Where did you get your headband from?

have you tried home health without hospice? If yes, which one is better as far as work and life balance? thank you for the informative video

When a patient is coming to their end of life, do you provide EOL care? Giving morphine etc.

So it's the nurse's decision to do the live discharges, not insurance?

How do you get paid??? You seen all 8 in 1day what about the rest of the week if they are only seen once a week? What happens when a patient passes??? Are you guaranteed more patients??? I work in home care and i get canceled all the time.. if a family goes on vacation or just doesn’t want a nurse that day, its very unpredictable

How many days a week are you doing this?

How many hours a week do you work?

Kendrick sockey missippiss 41 ❤😂🎉🎉🎉😢CNA
