New CNA Hospice experiences

Congratulations, RayHFutureNurse! And Jacqueline, your post was so informative and touching, thank you. This thread has had some really good pointers on hospice work. Since I started this thread, I have been working in an LTC facility (you were spot on, texastaz; they want experience, which is a great thing). I work in a memory care unit, and we have a hospice patient in our unit that we all love. I am moving forward in school to become an RN, and I still would like to work in hospice, along with geriatrics. I know that it is difficult work, and I hope that I will be up to the challenge as I gain more experience. Please keep posting your experiences; knowledge will only help us do the best that we can!
