My mom was put on hospice for pancreas cancer this March 2024, and she lasted 9 days on hospice. I flew out there to be with her as she was passing away hospice teams are angels god bless you
This is my first time finding your videos because I looked up DITL hospice cna and your entire personality is so beautiful 🥺 I admire you even talking about instilling self worth in your children by enforcing a routine. ❤️❤️
Awe, thanks for being a part of my channel ❤️❤️❤️ I appreciate the support 🫶🏻 and I hope you have a great day as well! By the way, I’ve been talking to my husband about moving to the Houston area after nursing school. Victoria is near Houston right?
You inspired me with your video...im a Certified CNA im wanting to do hospise CNA...please keep sharing...when did you know you wanted to do this? I know my gift is care giving.
That is wonderful Cassandra! I hope you get the opportunity to do it. And to be honest I didn’t even know hospice was a thing. I live in a very small town and CNA jobs are very limited and very hard to come by. I had been applying for YEARS to get a CNA job at our local clinic but they wanted CNA’s with phlebotomy experience. So this job came to me at my local grocery store when an ex coworker told me hospice was looking for an aide and if I wanted to apply. I was desperate because I was about to lose my license if I didn’t use it. So I applied and thank God, they gave me the job on the spot! And I’ve love it so much!
I have an interview Thursday for hospice job like yours. I read my Bible daily too!! Im nervous and not sure this is Gods plan for me. I have been exhausted doing facility work, is this a bit less stressful?
Oh I'm so excited for you Lisa! I loved hospice SO MUCH! But it definitely had it's hard parts. The pros of it were the connections you made with your patients, you're literally helping through one of the hardest times of their life but it's an honor to help them through it whether it was the simple act of bathing them or cleaning or just talking to them. Everything is appreciated because you know and they know that their time here is precious. Also the flexibility. I loved that I had control of my schedule, of course there were patients that wanted certain days and certain times but those were rare. It allowed me to finish all of my work so I could still attend class and pick my kids up from school. It's hard because some cases are really hard to accept and some patients don't live in the best conditions and refuse to live elsewhere. It's hard because you can walk in and find your patient gone- that happened to me and it was one of the hardest things I've witnessed but it also taught me so much. The great thing is you will be surrounded by amazing nurses and people who are like no one else. It takes a very special kind of person to work in that environment but the fulfillment you get is like nothing else. I wish you the very best and I hope you do like it :)
