New LPN Seeking Info On How To Become Hospice Nurse

[nowdistracted]

I graduated in June of this year, I took a job where I did my clinicals. We have a Trac & Vent Unit, Rehab Unit & LTC Unit so I get all aspects of the process but I really feel a need to work with hospice. I have gotten to work with a few patients on hospice and be there when they expired. This is something I handle well having dealt with in personally several times and want to truly make a difference problem is I can't seem to find online training or even just training. I could get a job with an agency but I really feel before I am put out there in the field it is only right that I have further training so I am not going in blind so to speak with a company that just wants a body there not someone that is trained. Any advice on where to start would be greatly appreciated and valued.

Fantastic. I hope you do stick with hospice. It's a very special kind of nursing and the demand is only going to go up as baby boomers (I include myself in this one) age.
