That is correct but not most of the time is a hospice nurse treating dying patients. The hospice nurse is actually a home health aid that comes and does everthing in a hospital but in your home cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, bathing, brushing teeth etc.. Not only is there a unique bond with the patient to nurse but there is also an optinal chance for you to have a therapist come and talk to you about the nurse and everything. Hospic is a really nice place and people are very friendly that work there. I respect them a lot! A hospice nurse does everything a regular nurse does in terms of administering medications, charting the patients progress and generally caring for the patient. The difference is that hospice patients are terminally ill, so there's an added dimension of being able to care for someone who is clearly dying. That requires a good deal of character, compassion and understanding.
Hospice nurses, unlike others nurses, have to show decline or patients in order for them to remain on hospice care. In most nursing specialties, nurses must show improvement. Hospice nurses also work with interdisciplinary teams and treat the family as well as the patient.
Hospices are places people go when they are dying. Nursing at a hospice is nursing to the dying. People don't get better at hospices. (I'm a doctor)
I'm always amazed at how little people understand the meaning of hospice and how it helps people deal with the struggles of losing a loved one. I speak from both sides of the fence, a hospice recipient and a hospice nurse. If you truly are a doctor, I'm curious what kind?
Answer 2:
A hospice provides a facility where terminally ill loved ones can be taken care of. This includes palliative care (pain management) and other medical attention (excluding diagnostic tests) that would provide the patient with as much comfort as possible. It is meant to be a home away from home for those who do not have much longer to live. Home hospice is also a good choice for those who would like the familiar surroundings of a home and the emotional security of having loved ones around. Professional caregivers come to your home and administer to your health needs and offer counseling to the patient and family members at home.
Where a hospital is focused on curing sick and injured people, a hospice is focused on "end of life" care. Patients in a hospice usually have an illness that cannot be cured, and will eventually result in their death. The hospice focuses on making the patient as comfortable as possible, and permitting them to enjoy the time they have left.
