Hospice
Nursing Job
Hospice nurses are the primary caretakers
for patients nearing the end of their
lives, an incredibly vulnerable period
that requires nurturing and kindness,
as well as around the clock care. As
a hospice nurse, you are directly involved
in the patient's everyday needs, including
their pain management and comfort level.
The majority of hospice patients are suffering
from the end of a terminal illness, such
as cancer, AIDs, heart and lung disease,
and other terminal cases. A patient will
enter hospice care when the illness is
no longer manageable through various
treatment programs. These are the hard
facts of terminal disease, and a hospice
nurse is expected to deal honestly with
patients under their care. The patients
vary in race, color and a myriad of faith
backgrounds. It is critically important
for a hospice nurse to respect these
variables, and to do their very best
to help patients and their families carry
out those wishes specific to these attributes.
