I don't know much about this field as a nurse. I have worked with many hospice patients as a paramedic though. It can be stressful at times with people dying and all. But I have learned a lot from my patients about dying and how people react to death. Working with these patients has made me more comfortable with my own feelings on death. I myself have considered this field after I complete my nursing degree. Good luck to you.
