Does anyone have any information about working for Duke Hospice and Homecare?


Hi there.
As I've written on a number of hospice threads, I'm currently an OR nurse who is looking for a change. I found myself attracted to Hospice care. After browsing the search engines for case manager, Hospice and a few other positions, a position came up from Duke Hospice. It appears to be a job which entails checking in on patients, checking up on how they are doing, reviewing care plans with the CNA's assigned to the case, as well as learning a bewildering number of rules and regs from various agencies, ICD-9, etc.
Has anyone in the RDU area of NC ever worked for Duke Hospice? If so, what was your experience with orientation and the requirements of the job resembling the actual job listing?
I know there is a lot to learn in regards to Hospice care; I've been looking into Hospice education on line and have noted some recommendations from the wonderful nurses from this site.
All help will be appreciated, whether you contact me privately or on this thread.
Thanks so much!
Helga
