Re: what is it like to work in a hospice facility?
our ratio is 1:4 max.
but we have very few respite cases.
most of our pts, are acutely and seriously ill, w/unrelenting symptomology.
often i will only have 2 pts, who command every available part of my heart, brain and soul.
put emotionally fragile families into the mix, it's a surefire recipe for instant burnout.
but still, the relationships formed, are solid, deep and meaningful...
in spite of all the chaos, i couldn't see me doing anything else.
