I am looking for at least 10 people who are currently involved in working with hospice - nurses, chaplains, social workers, bereavement counselors, marketers, administration, and/or volunteers - to participate in a conference call.

The discussion will be issues that will help us best get questions answered and concerns addressed for our communities about hospice. There are no strings attached, no money involved, only about 10 minutes of your time on the telephone. If you are interested, please e-mail me and we can discuss the best time and date for you to participate.

My hope is to post on this forum the positive outcomes of the call.

Thanks

The conference call has been scheduled. You must register for the call and be on the call preferably within 5 minutes of the start time. If you can't participate in the call, the recorded session is available as a free download for anyone who registers.

I am excited to begin 2008 with this positive note. Topics will be chosen for future calls on this first episode. Relevant discussions that seem to be popular on this site include the "Profit vs. Non-Profit" dilemna and questions from nurses wondering if hospice is the right career choice.

I look forward to your attendance and participation. We can make a real difference in how hospice is presented and understood by the communities we serve if we blend some great thinking into a few minutes discussion.

I thoroughly enjoyed today's call and just wish more of you could have participated.

You will get your chance.


On February 6th (The first Wednesday of February) at 11 a.m. the call will focus on a very special person and the impact of his words on hospice patients and families. Mr. Michael Holmes, RN, author of "Crossing the Creek", "Key Elements of Transitions", and "Dying to Know" and a regular participant of this forum will be our special guest.

Get your questions ready!

Please take a few minutes to listen to the call from today. You may not always have time to listen, but you can download the call or listen from your computer anytime. This 15 minute call became an hour long conversation that revived my motivation for this way of life I call hospice care.

Thanks guys for a wonderful first call (You know who you are).

Hi Robin,

Thank you for the wonderful sharing of the first conference call. I too, would like to continue to become involved by either listening and possibly participating. I am an LPN and understand big time the spiritual component ya'll discussed and I loved it. Will you be announcing the time I live in MN so I'm not sure which 11:00 time you are referring to or offering the free listen too as you did for this last episode? If not how do I stay connected? I really do not want to miss Michael's interview. Everyone who participated in my opinion gave many thought-provoking thoughts and I greatly appreciate that.


Thank you,

Sharona Fee free to PM me if needed.



Michael:

You Rock.

Robin, thank you for sharing the conference call, I thoroughly enjoyed
listening. I thought you did an excellent job hosting and hope you get
more attendees next month. I thought Beth had some excellent input.
I've enjoyed Michael's input on this forum for some time, he usually goes over my head, but he kept it pretty basic but concise and thoughtful. I look forward to listening to the call next month.

[rmw44]

Just a reminder about the call tomorrow. I will be interviewing Michael Holmes (author of "Crossing the Creek") tomorrow at 11 a.m. EST. To call in and ask questions or to comment call 1-724-444-7444 and when prompted by the operator for the call ID enter 44351#.
