Hospice is a very good resource for terminally ill people. They will help comfort the dying person and supply equipment and have resources to provide excellent care for people who need them.
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.
