Hi!
I just got a job as a hospice RN case manager. :wink2:
I have 4 years of experience in Telemetry, and have been raising my family for 6 years, and now I am back. I had my first day was yesterday, basically signing all the forms and trying to read about all the regulations, levels of care, reimbursement, medicare, etc... I love the concept of hospice, and I love teaching patients and families and conversing with them, and I think I will eventually really love hospice, but I feel very overwhelmed. Do you have any advice on what I need to know FIRST as a hospice nurse, what are the bottom line things that I need to understand, etc... just something to give me a bit of focus during this overwhelming time of learning. Thanks guys, and I am proud to join the group of hospice nurses!!
