There are few nursing job opportunities that not only afford you a challenging work environment, but also offer you as rewarding and vital career as that of a hospice nurse. Your duties go beyond covering the daily needs of your hospice patients, such as changing dressings, administering pain medications, bathing and dressing. You provide support for your patients with much-needed respect, kindness and nurturing at the end of their lives. Due to the nature of hospice care, your role is perhaps one of the most difficult, and at the same time, most well regarded in the healthcare industry.

The skills and expertise of a hospice nurse center on the patient's level of comfort. Although no longer undergoing treatment for their disease, a patient under your care needs absolute attention paid to their pain. In hospice nursing, you are a member of a team of medical practitioners whose main role is to make a patient's final days as free of pain as possible. This is a practice that requires knowledge and experience dealing with a variety of pain medications and therapies.
