2. Advice for a new Hospice nurse :)

   This Won't Hurt Much replied to This Won't Hurt Much's topic in Hospice

   I would love to experience that "whoosh" you're talking about! That would be incredible, and it's something no one else has mentioned to me at work or here! Thank you for that! I hope I get the priviledge of experiencing that some day.

3. Advice for a new Hospice nurse :)

   This Won't Hurt Much replied to This Won't Hurt Much's topic in Hospice

   Thank you for your responses. I do feel like it is an honor to help prepare a body after death - both for that specific person and for the loved ones they've left behind. There's something special about being able to be one of the final people who is...

4. What do you say to and do for your frightened patient?

   This Won't Hurt Much posted a topic in Hospice

   I had a patient say today, "I'm scared." I couldn't get her to elaborate more, and her family mentioned that she has said this to them in the past as well when I filled them in later on our brief "conversation". Since she wouldn't and maybe couldn'...

   THANK YOU rbezemek!! This is such an awesome response that clears up a lot of confusion! (Eloquently stated at that!) :) I am in nursing school myself and couldn't imagine such circumstances, but I surely wouldn't know without a doubt, and most c...

9. Mandatory Assisted Living? Need advice

   This Won't Hurt Much replied to This Won't Hurt Much's topic in Texas

   I don't know; I wondered that myself. I don't know the details about why this is now out of her hands and "required", but do you know of any rules/provisions that make it so? Any advice on how she should proceed?

    They sent mine within just a couple of weeks after ordering; the tops on me are a smidge bigger than I would like, but it's not enough to return them. It's the pants that definitely don't run big. I would have guessed I'd be ordering a medium or a ...

    This Won't Hurt Much replied to jsd42277's topic in Florida

    My measurements are nothing I particularly care to check out or remember, so I just went off of their charts. Based on what I said and what another poster has said, I guess I would imagine that their pants may run a bit smaller than what their chart...

    This Won't Hurt Much replied to jsd42277's topic in Florida

    I ordered according to what they recommended on their site. The tops are designed to cover your entire torso area and just show leg (no stomach). Don't know if this helps. I found the size chart a little off from what I usually would purchase, but...
