Just got into hospice and I was wondering if anyone knew of any resources I could look into that might help me when interacting with caregivers and the patient.

Hi and welcome to the field of Hospice.
I googled for anything related to Hospice.
Do any courses that they offer within your organization. Do the ELNEC training etc.
I wish you well in this area of nursing.
This is the love of my life in nursing

Check out Hospice under the Specialty tab at the top. Lots of good information there!

You may have this book already but if you don't, then run out and buy it. It is fabulous:

"FINAL GIFTS" by Callanan & Kelley

Inspirational read for nurses and families too.

Good luck!
