Older RN Student considering Hospice Nursing

Normally they like you to have one year of experience before going into Hospice because it is such and independent work environment. However you do have the life experience and feel the calling so if you are able to ride with a Hospice nurse to get a feel for it then that is a good place to begin. It helps if you know your own feelings about death and dying, and have been exposed to it in your circle of friends and family. Hospice is one field where you either love it or hate it so it helps to find out as much as you can before going into this field. I applaud your desire to work in this field because I love it and will work here until I retire.
