Paediatric - Palliative Care - Hospice

Hi everyone

I was just wondering if anyone can help.

I am a nurse and currently work on a very busy med/surg ward for young children. I have been a qualified nurse for a year now and have always had a keen interest for palliative care work. A job at a local hospice for children has recently opened up.

I was just wondering if:

1. Any of you work in a hospice relating to paediatrics.
2. If you could tell me your views on this type of work.
3. Whether on the whole you enjoy working in this field.
4. What I am likely to expect from what you've experienced.

I apologise if this makes no sense at all, just wanted a little personal insight into this type of work really. I imagine it to be such a special place to work and really can see myself working in a hospice.

Any advice/insight etc, would be very much appreciated.

Thanks Laura
