How much experience should I get before getting into Hospice?

Well the facility I wish to start out in is inpatient, though we do have an outpatient facility in my county. I kinda wanted to use LTC experience as my foot in the door, seeing that I'll deal with a lot of skilled patients. Do they hire mainly LPNs in inpatient facilities? Just wondering what my chances are of snatching an inpatient job. I started out as a new grad on a cardiac unit and realized it wasn't for me. Hospice or oncology was something I was always drawn too. My husband's grandmother recently passed away, and she had hospice. Just being there for her, and taking care of her during that time really made me realize what my true passion was. It takes a special heart to do hospice. My mom knows a lady who is kind of over the hospice home here where I live. She pretty much suggested I have a year - 2 years experience first. I'm fine either way. At least with a little skilled nursing experience, I wouldn't be jumping into hospice and getting in way over my head. Thanks for all the responses so far.
